    Both are stories about fleeing famine from the male protagonist's perspective. The first book features a protagonist who transmigrates into the body of a middle-aged man with three mentally challenged sons. The original owner was lazy, greedy, selfish, and unreasonable. The protagonist gradually changes, leading his family on a famine escape. He has a spatial system that allows him to exchange items. The second book features a protagonist who transmigrates to an era of widespread poverty. His cheat ability is the ability to enter a portable house for half an hour. Initially, he only sells a set of glassware for 1000 taels of silver to purchase supplies for travel expenses. The rest of the story revolves around his family's journey of fleeing famine.
