After Our Memories Awaken: Fleeing Famine with Our Deadbeat Dad

Qiu Hua, a young girl from the Xie family village in the Southern Yue Kingdom, lives in poverty despite her family owning fifty mu of land. Her grandmother is cold and biased, and her father is a hopeless fool who can't see straight. When she is eight, her second aunt and grandmother beat her unconscious. In her unconsciousness, Qiu Hua dreams of her past life: she was a champion in both shooting and combat sports, living with a kind, generous grandmother, and ultimately died a heroic death saving a child. When she wakes, she regains her peak skills and memories from her past life, unexpectedly unlocks a 30-square-meter space as her golden finger, and discovers she was born with incredible strength!

To free her parents from their misery, Qiu Hua stands up to her father's foolish behavior, secretly trains her martial arts, hunts in the mountains to stockpile supplies, and matches wits with her awful grandmother and second aunt as she plots to split the family. Along the way, she unexpectedly rescues a general in distress. There are no power struggles or palace intrigue (readers who dislike political schemes can rest easy!); she only wants to secure a potential ally for her family. After two months of planning, she finally succeeds in separating the households, only for a severe drought to strike without warning. The rivers dry up, the crops fail, and refugees run rampant, leaving the Xie family village uninhabitable. The whole family is forced to flee famine alongside the villagers.

Qiu Hua knows the art of keeping her head down and hiding her abilities. In times of danger, she repeatedly protects the entire village in secret, though the villagers still have to provide most of their own food. With overwhelming strength and exceptional intelligence, she keeps her family and the villagers safe as they navigate drought, refugee raids, and the ravages of war. The whole village works together on the journey, with Qiu Hua serving as the team's invisible pillar and quietly resolving one crisis after another. The male lead has not yet been decided, and romance will only be a minor element later on. The heroine stays stronger than everyone else throughout; all she wants is to protect her family and help the whole village survive safely through the chaotic times!
