Su He, a modern agricultural technician, transmigrates into a book as a widow fleeing famine, with her six-year-old daughter in her arms and a copy of Records of Managing the Household that unlocks itself at her side.
The war has only just ended, refugees are everywhere, and a decree to establish farming settlements has been issued. She joins a group seeking survival.
Starving refugees fight over food, water runs out, medicine is scarce, and children are poisoned. Every step could mean life or death.
Using her notes, she grows rice, filters water, digs wells to prevent disasters, and establishes a system for distributing grain, keeping the group together.
From spending nights in a ruined temple to settling in a remote farming village, she earns trust through hard work and governs the village with her skills.
No romance, no relying on men. Mother and daughter work together to cultivate the land and build a home.
A fresh take on transmigration into a book: see how a common woman uses agricultural skills to rise to become a “folk magistrate.”
