Fleeing Famine in a Chaotic World: I Made My Fortune Digging for Wild Vegetables With Prophetic Dreams

After a car accident, Jiang Yunshu transmigrates into a book as a cast-off peasant woman, fleeing famine with her five-year-old daughter. Disasters plague Great Zhou and war rages at the border. From the start, all she has is a dilapidated house and a patch of barren land. The original owner was timid and starved to death, but Jiang Yunshu has a golden finger: every night, she dreams of where to find wild vegetables and medicinal herbs, and anything she plants in her spirit-field space grows and yields a harvest. Bullied when the family divides its property? Neighbors stealing her vegetables? She fights back with sharp words and a firm hand, then builds her fortune. She starts by digging shepherd’s purse to trade for rice, then makes money selling pickles. She reclaims wasteland, farms, and grows her business bigger and bigger. Along the way, she saves the down-on-his-luck scholar Pei Yanzhou, and they team up to make a life together as affection quietly grows between them. She turns her fortunes around, building houses, buying land, establishing an estate, opening a restaurant, and making a name across the land. In these turbulent times, she’s determined to stand firm, protect her daughter, and carve out a life of her own.
