1. 1 逃 Fleeing Famine and Farming: The Eldest Daughter of the Farmhouse Keeps the Family Fed 逃荒种田，农门长姐养家忙 Clouds Above the Clouds云上之云Ancient Romance1.0M WordsCompleted This story has no space, is not a feel-good power fantasy, and its famine-flight scenes are adapted from historical accounts of ordinary people fleeing famine in different periods. The heroine is only eight years old, so escaping with her whole family in tow is very hard, incredibly hard. If you’re looking for a feel-good power fantasy, please move on. Don’t read to the end, decide the main characters have suffered too much, feel bad, and then leave a negative review. Writing is hard, so please 33.5kReads9.4Score4.1kShelves

   I've read quite a few famine escape stories, mostly without a romantic pairing. This one features a lone protagonist fleeing alone, not forming any gangs or alliances along the way, and avoiding rescuing people whenever possible. Sometimes I even think the female lead is too cold-hearted. Other stories also have no romantic pairings, but they usually involve villagers fleeing together, and they often take in many people along the way.

   For those looking for a famine escape story, check this one out! The first few chapters focus on the family traveling with the villagers, but later they separate and begin their own escape. No spatial abilities! The protagonist's "golden finger" is a collection of survival videos from Douyin (TikTok), which has mental limitations and doesn't involve teleportation. It features a ten-year-old female protagonist, a clear-headed and strong-willed mother (Zhou Shi), and a father with mysterious fighting abilities, all escaping the famine with their younger sister. They fight against difficult relatives, avoid bandits, gather herbs, and trade salt and food; the survival details are meticulously crafted, and the atmosphere of a chaotic world is incredibly immersive.

She's quick and efficient, sometimes using others' strength against them, sometimes confronting them head-on. She gets rid of a bunch of enemies.

    Yes, this is a good story. The protagonist is a refugee, a killer of Japanese soldiers and traitors. He's decisive and ruthless, neither doting on his sister nor any other woman; he's all about women, but no female lead. He won't be easily swayed by women, won't lose his mind, and won't be overly affectionate. He's a breath of fresh air. He has the heart of a ruthless hero; anyone who gets in his way will be killed. If his sister becomes an obstacle, he'll even kill her to prove his worth. If you like stories about refugees and heroines who kill their sisters, this is a good book. Highly recommended!

    First book: Completed. The female lead's cheat ability is a small space (not very useful). The story revolves around the famine, which is really heartbreaking (not a wish-fulfillment story; many family members die during the escape). Highly recommended! The male lead doesn't appear until near the end, so it can be considered a no-romance story. There are no awful relatives. Second book: Ongoing. The female lead's cheat ability is the neighborhood trash can. She eats leftovers from the trash cans during the famine. The famine situation is resolved around chapter 100, and she starts building her career (like making beaded flowers from tattered clothes or selling near-expiry food from the trash). The awful relatives disappear shortly after the escape. Recommended reading!

    All three are no-romance novels. The first one was a bit off-putting due to its synopsis; I kept opening it after reading a chapter or two and then giving up, only to continue reading when I was really desperate for something to read. It got better and better as it went on. It's no romance, and it's a bit old. The female lead has a space-time advantage, but it's not random; she acquires it after learning her true identity. She seems to be an amnesiac space beast. The second one is a lone wolf story with no romance, but she has a space-time advantage and is incredibly strong. It's purely a story of escaping famine, constantly on the run. The third one is about escaping famine in the Little Ice Age. It doesn't have a space-time advantage, only martial arts skills. There might be a romance, but it's only mentioned at the end. It's about unrequited love separated by time and space. The female lead only wants to escape famine with her family, who aren't exactly awful. However, due to ancient natural disasters and various other reasons, she becomes exhausted and can only take on apprentices and lead small groups to escape. She has a bit of luck; if she makes a wrong choice, she'll die in various ways. There are many causal relationships hidden within, all explained later. The emperor is another example, with a plot twist. It's not purely a story of escaping famine; the author summarizes one main plot and three subplots at the end. The fourth book, don't be fooled by the synopsis and cover. There is no romantic pairing. At the beginning, it seems to be a simple story about escaping famine, but in reality, it takes on a fantasy element later on, and the father and daughter are both dragons.
