   This is an ancient Chinese novel! It's about farming in the early stages and fleeing famine later on. It's told from the male lead's perspective, with a single female lead. The male lead is selfish and self-centered; the female lead always steps in when things get tough, while the male lead pretends to be a good guy from behind. He's the epitome of a scoundrel, only thinking of himself in everything, never allowing anyone else to suffer.
