A precognitive dream: Jiang Ruanruan dreams of an ancient version of herself fleeing famine. In the dream, she marries a rough hunter named Lin Dashan. Due to a drought in Shanhe County, the pregnant Jiang Ruanruan, led by Dashan, flees to Nan County with both sets of parents. For half a year, they evade ruthless bandits and survive a plague that leaves corpses strewn across the land. Lin Dashan almost loses his life several times trying to provide her with food. But as her due date approaches, Jiang Ruanruan, suffering from prolonged dehydration and lack of food, finally collapses. To make matters worse, bandits arrive and kill Dashan and her parents. Jiang Ruanruan wakes up to find herself transported to an ancient famine-stricken era in seven days. She activates her storage space in advance, but how can a salaried worker like her store goods? Desperate, she encountered the spirit cat Duoduo, who delivered a black card, leading her to frantically stockpile goods... Seven days later, Jiang Ruanruan successfully transmigrated. Upon waking, her dilapidated thatched hut collapsed that very night. Her father took her to beg her grandparents for shelter, but they were ruthlessly refused. Ultimately, she had no choice but to go to her fiancé Lin Dashan's house. Lin Dashan's family didn't distance themselves from or look down on the Jiang family; instead, they were considerate and attentive, arranging food and lodging, and even helping them pay off their debts. Coupled with the scenes in her dream, Jiang Ruanruan trusted Lin Dashan's family. They discussed whether to flee the famine early or hide in the deep mountains. Seeing that there was still time, they initiated their plan to hide in the mountains ahead of schedule, finding a safe and secluded location, preparing food and supplies, and taking the elderly and a small account into the mountains to live a simple and unpretentious life... With abundant resources in her spatial dimension, the assistance of the spirit cat Duoduo, and Lin Dashan's life-risking love, Jiang Ruanruan's life in seclusion in the mountains was filled with peace and happiness, sweeter than honey.

    I highly recommend both the first and second books. The first one needs no introduction. As for the second one, don't let its low rating fool you; it's truly excellent. The author put a lot of effort into writing this book; unlike other food novels that are just empty rhetoric, the food descriptions and cooking techniques are based on real historical documents. You can learn something new while reading—it's really enjoyable.

    The female protagonist's soul was mistakenly taken to the underworld, where she opened a canteen. She has a space similar to Sam's Club, and conquers the hearts of many historical figures—including Qin Shi Huang, Li Shimin, Zhu Di, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and many more—with her modern food and drinks. Basically, all the famous figures are represented, such as Li Bai and Su Dongpo. The food and drinks include (fried chicken and cola, crayfish, soup dumplings, cheese hot dogs, yogurt fruit salad, peach four-season spring dessert, pudding, tiramisu, pumpkin custard…)—one dish per chapter, complete with illustrations [eating melon emoji].
