1. 101 空 Space: Transmigrate with Me on the Road to Escape the Famine 空间：跟我一起穿越在逃荒的路上 Looking Back, It Was Nothing Special回首望去·不过如此Ancient Romance548k WordsCompleted This really isn't a typical transmigration story, and the reason is actually a little tragic. The heroine isn't exactly kind, either; she holds a grudge and always gets even. Maybe that's because of what she went through in her previous life! Still, she's not foolish, and she's a little childish and rather cute. In the end, she never becomes so powerful that she turns into something inhuman. If that's not your thing, don't read. Come see how she uses the space she carries with her to flee famine 491Reads9.1Score—Shelves

It includes a roulette-style space for drawing lots, with the required resources increasing progressively, and it's a harem story.

After settling down by the Tingjiang River, the system wasn't a treasure trove, but rather a tool to make his compost more fertile and his seedlings more accurate.
