   I don't know if anyone has recommended these two books. They're both good, no romance, and quite enjoyable. Especially the one about the "Old Ox"—he's decisive and ruthless, but not overly sentimental. It's hard to find books like that. Many famine refugees help others within their means, or their whole family escapes the famine together. Maybe I've read too many of those, so I don't really like those anymore. Currently, I prefer famine refugee stories where the protagonist only cares about themselves and doesn't consider others.

The heroine’s aunt was vicious and siphoned away other people’s luck. The closer someone was to her by blood, the more likely she was to hurt them.

   No plot device involved. The protagonist is a refugee, a male protagonist who kills Japanese invaders and traitors. He is decisive and ruthless, neither doting on his sister nor any other woman; he has women, but no female lead. He doesn't become easily swayed by women, doesn't lose his mind, and doesn't shy away from them. He's a breath of fresh air. The protagonist has a ruthless and ambitious nature; he kills anyone who gets in his way. If his sister becomes an obstacle, he'll even kill her to prove his path. If you like refugee stories and stories with a female lead who is a "sister-killing heroine," this is a good book. Highly recommended!
