In a Year of Famine, I Cut Ties with My Family and Took My Sister-in-Law to Eat and Drink Well

Hunter + Farming + Stockpiling Grain + Beauty in Every Shape + Court and Martial World

The Great Qian realm: a dynasty where literary brilliance coexists with decay and cowardice, and a golden age on the verge of being crushed beneath iron hooves. Sects are everywhere, noble clans scheme against each other, and the empress of the Great Qian imperial family is obsessed with martial arts and neglects state affairs. The court is embroiled in a struggle among nine princes for the throne, with all sides plotting against one another. To the north, the Great Yuezhi and the Hu tribes watch hungrily.

To the west, Western Xia and Great Yuan raid the border every year.

To the south, the Nanman and Baiyue tribes lie in wait under their chieftains.

Within the realm, the martial world and the imperial court are locked in ceaseless conflict.

Years of war have left the court in turmoil. Martial sects and noble clans have joined forces and are poised to act, as internal strife and foreign threats converge. Liu Yi's ancestor once served as a saber-bearing guard to the late emperor of Great Qian. Because of a secret from those days, he went into seclusion in Zhongyangli, a mountain village near Tiemenguan on the northwestern frontier.

After transmigrating, Liu Yi finds himself in a famine-stricken year, with starving corpses everywhere. Thanks to a spatial ring that came with him, he lives in comfort, and his little home has even become a shelter for goddesses from all walks of life!
