Famine Flight + Farming + Younger Wolfish Boy + Infrastructure Building
Jiang Tao wished to be born rich in her next life.
Heaven heard her.
The good news: she gets to be the fourth daughter of a merchant family.
The bad news: she opens her eyes in the middle of a famine flight. Their belongings have been stolen, her father is dead, her mother has run off with someone, and her sickly stepmother is about to hang herself along with Jiang Tao and her young siblings.
At the brink of life and death, the [All-Seeing Intelligence System] activates, predicting dangers and opportunities for her.
[The river to the west conceals muddy pits. Do not go near it.]
[The refugee group behind you harbors villains who will launch a night raid.]
[A plague will break out here next month. The best place to settle is Qingshi Town, a hundred li away.]
[Edible wild vegetables grow ten li ahead and have yet to be picked.]
[A bandit gang lives on the mountain two li east. They will rob and kill tonight.]
While others flee blindly, running into natural and human disasters and suffering countless casualties, Jiang Tao holds the secrets of fate in her hands and sees the fortune and misfortune waiting up ahead.
The bandits want to rob her?
That very night, Jiang Tao takes out their den and claims the mountain as her own, becoming its boss.
Finding water, stockpiling food, avoiding bandits and dodging epidemics, Jiang Tao carves a way to survive through the refugee crowds amid fields of corpses.
She clears land, grows vegetables, raises livestock, makes medicine, and saves lives. With the System's intelligence, she defies fate, builds a fortune from nothing, establishes a safe village, and creates a thriving local market. She becomes the first rich generation in her family.
The only problem is that the young man she casually tied up and brought back keeps looking at her more and more strangely. At the slightest disagreement, he insists on offering himself to her as her husband and becoming the king of her stronghold.
Jiang Tao looks over his sturdy, upright build and desperately tries to talk herself out of it: Can I just say no?
