[Reborn + no golden finger + face-slapping satisfaction + second male lead takes the win + farming and infrastructure + wilderness survival + strong heroine]
After dying miserably at the hands of her scumbag husband and his sweet-but-scheming mistress in her previous life, Su Yue is reborn at the very beginning.
She rejects the scumbag’s false show of affection and relies on her memories from her past life to reclaim the wilderness and survive.
She gathers kudzu root to make starch, searches for iron ore, builds stone houses, and leads her people in fending off danger.
One is a tribal chief who silently protects her. The other is a proud, unruly young lord from a foreign tribe.
With no System and no miraculous stroke of luck, she makes her own way in the wild and shines brilliantly through her own efforts.
