The best famine escape story I've read this year is written in this book. I especially loved the scenes where they desperately tried to escape the pursuers and search for food; the memories kept replaying in my mind even after I finished watching.
In a time of famine and despair, Shen Qinghui was abandoned in the chaos of the world, but she managed to carve out a way out of the predicament while dragging her sick mother-in-law and young child along. With delicate strokes, author Tu Liao blends time travel, farming, and infrastructure construction to depict the resilience and strength of women from the lower classes.
The story begins in a post-apocalyptic world with a widowed woman struggling to support her family. The plot steadily progresses from survival to infrastructure development and farming, maintaining a solid pace. In terms of character portrayal, the female lead, Shen Qinghui, is decisive and valiant, overcoming adversity through sheer courage rather than innate advantages, establishing herself as…
This novel brilliantly combines the elements of time travel, famine, and farming. The female protagonist, without hesitation, leads the elderly, weak, and disabled to a miraculous turnaround, with each initially rejected "burden" becoming a pillar of the village's development. It offers both the exhilarating feeling of a triumphant reversal of fortune and the grand vision of building a utopia, making for a thrilling read that leaves readers eagerly anticipating the sequel.
The author's writing is fluent and delicate, the story is absolutely wonderful, and the plot is full of twists and turns. It's sooooo good! Highly recommended!
Humanity, self-reliance, and protecting the community ❤️❤️❤️ [OK][OK][OK]
This is a very refreshing farming novel that fulfills everyone's fantasy of the secluded life described in "The Peach Blossom Spring." It's so interesting and enjoyable; highly recommended!
It's quite interesting. Even in a famine, the female protagonist manages to live a comfortable and fulfilling life. She's clever and resourceful. Farming novels are always the best. The more you read, the more addictive they become. She finds a way out of a desperate situation and discovers a new path to success.
The content is very enjoyable to read, and the writing style is solid.
Time travel, famine escape, and farming—a unique premise with a captivating and unconventional plot. I've already added it to my wishlist!
