Don’t Panic in a Famine Year: Wild Grass Evolves into Fine Grain

[Ensemble cast] [Fleeing famine] [Raising kids] [Taking down scoundrels]

After choking to death, Bai Zhi transmigrates into an ancient romance novel about a woman fleeing with a child. She becomes a minor character with the same name, destined to die in a famine.

Is the worst kind of poverty having a bare house? No, no. Her family has only three bare walls, plus one idiot who is playing at supporting two households with his widowed sister-in-law.

She kicks the bastard to the curb. She doesn't need a love interest.

[Host, two morning glories detected. They can evolve into sweet potatoes.]

[Reeds can evolve into sugarcane. Add plant ash and yellow mud to make white sugar, brown sugar, or rock sugar.]

Bai Zhi rubs her hands together, laughing. At last, it's her turn to make a fortune in ancient times!

Finally, she reaches the capital, only to be stopped outside the city? Then she'll build a haven with the refugees.

The emperor: "There were only two barren hills. How have they become a paradise in just six months?"

His trusted minister: "The witch must be executed!"

Bai Zhi is "invited" into the palace. In the depths of winter, flowers bloom in a riot of colors throughout the palace, their fragrance drifting for miles.

The emperor: "A goddess has descended! Hurry and present her with offerings..."
