   Reader note

   The protagonist's "golden finger" (advantages that grant her special abilities) isn't overpowered and is mostly unnecessary. The female lead has some cleverness, but it's not exaggerated. It's a simple yet engaging story of fleeing from famine, without any saintly figures or truly exceptional characters. The family is united, and there are some trivial matters. It's a good watch to pass the time.
