Disasters in Ancient Times: From the Start, I Disguise Myself as a Man to Flee Famine!

[Historical fantasy + natural disasters + farming + woman disguised as a man + mature heroine + raising children + no romance + technical expertise]

Special forces soldier Shen Ge dies on a mission and transmigrates into the body of a widow in the Great Sheng Dynasty, whose husband has just died.

The first thing she sees is three children so starved they’re skin and bones, along with a bully at the door demanding repayment and threatening to sell them.

She raises a hand and dislocates his jaw. “I’ll pay the debt. The people stay.”

But the worst is still to come: earthquakes, a river changing course, and a century-long drought, one calamity after another.

She promptly changes into men’s clothes and takes the three children on the road to escape the famine.

While others pray to heaven and earth, she reads the wind and searches for water. While others are so hungry they eat dirt, she sets traps to hunt game.

While others wait to die, she operates on the wounded with a red-hot knife.

She has no System and no pocket dimension. Her greatest golden finger is her own mind and her own two hands.

Under the name Shen Sanlang, she carves a path through the troubled times and leads a group of refugees to build a new home in the depths of despair.
