In her previous life, Bai Enyu could only watch helplessly as she acted like a fool against her will. Only after she died did she learn she was just a sacrificial pawn in an ancient novel about fleeing famine.
The female lead's spirit-spring space was actually a family heirloom jade pendant of the Bai family, and the second male lead who loved her deeply was the fiancé Bai Enyu had been forced to become engaged to when she was made to act like a fool.
Even more absurd was her purpose in the story: to bring the entire Bai family along on the famine exodus so they could protect the female lead, Chen Jiahe, and her devoted second male lead, Gao Yunhuai.
Aside from using the Bai family's gold, silver, and supplies to feed the Gao family, her grandfather, parents, and several brothers all died one after another protecting the people of Chenjia Village.
The Bai family protected Chenjia Village for Gao Yunhuai's sake. And many of the dangers they faced while fleeing the famine were caused by the original female lead, Chen Jiahe's family, sheltering the original male lead, Xiao Jinfan, the son of a general who guarded the nation and was being hunted.
Bai Enyu learned the truth and was so furious she nearly spat blood.
The whole Bai family had truly been exploited to the bitter end as a bunch of sacrificial pawns. She refused to accept it!
Reborn for a second time, Bai Enyu and her family have all awakened from their sacrificial-pawn mindset. Knowing what lies ahead, they say Gao Yunhuai can love whoever he wants, and they want nothing to do with the original leads.
She wants to see how Gao Yunhuai will keep up his "gentle and refined" act while fleeing famine without the material support and protection of the Bai family, a bunch of absolute suckers.
Without the spirit-spring space in the Bai family's heirloom jade pendant, how will the original female lead heal the original male lead's serious injuries, stockpile huge quantities of supplies ahead of the famine exodus, and use spirit-spring water to improve her family's health and intelligence?
This time, free from the control of the book's plot, Bai Enyu will live for herself, enjoying the gossip and watching the show in peace!
