   No romance 🆙🆙🆙 This is probably the most unique female protagonist I've read among all the famine escape and farming novels. She escapes famine alone and has a cheat-like spatial ability, but it's very much in line with her own logic. The escape process isn't saintly, but she's not completely devoid of empathy either.

The early chapters are told from the perspective of commoners, with a focus on farming and a slow, everyday pace. The power struggles come later. No romance + powerful heroine + hands-on craftswoman. Jiang He transmigrated into the past with one small problem: her new status was “wild person.” She was one of the lowest-ranking commoners, farming the land beyond the city for the ruler.

    Reader note

    The female protagonist transmigrates into the body of a commoner in the Yue Kingdom during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods. She is intelligent and strong, and the plot is well-developed (many books are strangely written without modern sensibilities, but this one is good). It's a female-centric story with no romantic pairing. The mother is strong and powerful, the eldest sister is exceptionally intelligent, the second sister is insightful, the younger sister has extraordinary talent, and the father is handsome and virtuous (later). However, sometimes I feel it's a bit didactic; it's unnecessary to explain every principle explicitly, as it would be better integrated into the story. It's a relatively new story with over 200 chapters, so perhaps it will be revised later. The writing style is very interesting, and many characters speak in a way that truly captures the flavor of the Spring and Autumn period. The author also has a good knowledge base (you should understand the significance of this). The female protagonist leads ordinary people to develop agricultural technology and live a better life (probably?). It's an anti-imperialist, anti-feudal, and anti-oppression farming novel.
