It includes a romantic subplot, but the romance is minimal, focusing on how the female protagonist helps the country increase food production and feed the nation and its army. The second book follows the female protagonist who travels back to the modern world from the cultivation world with a spiritual spring. She returns to her hometown, leases a barren mountain, and uses the spring to cultivate roses, pine trees, strawberries, and other trees, flowers, and fruits, becoming wealthy through farming.

    Reader note

    The first book, 124, is a famine escape novel. It focuses primarily on the escape itself, featuring a romantic pairing, but also touching on various natural and man-made disasters. The supporting characters are also quite compelling. The second book is better suited for readers who prefer solo adventures. The male lead, who escapes famine with the female lead, is not human but later becomes so, resulting in a simpler personality. He's basically taught how to be human by the female lead. Again, the focus is on the famine escape, with less emphasis on the later, non-famine-related storylines. The third book is a farming novel. The relationship between the male and female leads is exceptionally well-developed, without unnecessary tropes like amnesia or extramarital affairs. The plot flows smoothly. The fourth book is also a famine escape and farming novel, again emphasizing the main couple's relationship. It avoids unnecessary plot twists and is quite enjoyable, making it a highly recommended read.

    Lately, I've been loving these heartwarming and healing stories 🌟. The first one, which I just finished recently, is about a domineering, fatherly blacksmith and a money-grubbing, clueless tofu seller. The protagonists' lives are peaceful and heartwarming, but what's extraordinary is the constant stream of transmigrators: a self-important overlord, a spoiled teenager, a self-help guru… Each transmigrator has their own unique story. I can only say this book is truly special; the clash between ancient and modern people was a delightful surprise. Highly recommended!!! The second one needs no introduction. The female lead starts with a spicy soup business, and her relationship with the male lead develops naturally. The third and fourth books are both by Song Xiangbai. This author is truly first-rate; his writing is always flowing smoothly. You won't regret reading them. The last one is the only famine relief novel I've ever finished. The entire story revolves around fleeing famine; there's never a moment of peace. It's incredibly dramatic. Many famine relief novels end abruptly once you reach the destination, but this one is different. Strictly speaking, it's not famine relief, but rather a post-apocalyptic world.
