   Caution isn't the main point, but the cunning is truly remarkable [smirk]. The first book features a weak spirit who gains various cheat codes through a fishing system built over hundreds or thousands of years, eventually guiding Hongjun and Nuwa! Early on, she develops cautiously; later, philosophy abounds! The second book is about an ordinary, reborn native who is sweetly pampered by her family. It's not your average sweet romance novel, not your average sweet romance novel, not your average sweet romance novel—I'll say it three times for emphasis! The family is the highlight, the source of both humor and reassurance. The heroine's greatest contribution is providing the whole family with a night of spiritual spring water therapy. The beautiful father is the most outstanding character. The heroine subtly changes her living environment behind the scenes, adding pockets to her clothes, making slippers, and even creating a suite for an imperial censor—the censors all praise it!

    Ancient Chinese farming + precognitive dreams + spatial spirit beasts + no famine escape + mountain construction + land reclamation and hunting + 1V1 + sweet romance + heartwarming daily life + slow and steady development. A precognitive dream: Jiang Ruanruan dreams of an ancient version of herself fleeing famine. In the dream, she marries a rough hunter named Lin Dashan. Due to a drought in Shanhe County, the pregnant Jiang Ruanruan, led by Dashan, flees to Nan County with both sets of parents. For half a year, they evade ruthless bandits and survive a plague that leaves corpses strewn across the land. Lin Dashan almost loses his life several times trying to provide her with food. But as her due date approaches, Jiang Ruanruan, suffering from prolonged dehydration and lack of food, finally collapses. To make matters worse, bandits arrive and kill Dashan and her parents. Jiang Ruanruan wakes up to find herself transported to an ancient famine-stricken era in seven days. She activates her storage space in advance, but how can a salaried worker like her store goods? Out of desperation, she encountered the spirit cat Duoduo, who delivered a black card, leading her to frantically stockpile goods... Seven days later, Jiang Ruanruan successfully transmigrated. The night she woke up, her dilapidated thatched hut collapsed. Her father took her to beg her grandparents for shelter, but they were ruthlessly refused. Ultimately, she had no choice but to go to her fiancé Lin Dashan's house. Lin Dashan's family didn't distance themselves from or look down on the Jiang family; instead, they were considerate and attentive, arranging food and lodging, and even helping the Jiang family pay off their debts. Coupled with the scenes in her dream, Jiang Ruanruan trusted Lin Dashan's family. They discussed whether to flee the famine early or hide in the deep mountains. Seeing that there was still time, they started their plan to hide in the mountains ahead of schedule, finding a safe and secluded location, preparing food and supplies, and taking the elderly and a small account into the mountains to live a simple and unpretentious life... With abundant resources in her spatial dimension, the assistance of the spirit cat Duoduo, and Lin Dashan's life-risking love, Jiang Ruanruan's life in seclusion in the mountains was filled with peace and happiness, sweeter than honey.

    These are some fantastic time-travel novels I've been reading lately. The female protagonists all live fulfilling lives through their own efforts. The first one is a slow-paced time-travel novel; the author's knowledge, thought process, and writing style are all excellent.

    I just finished reading this one. Finding other books to read is so frustrating. I've been reading for 10 years, and now when I read novels, I just hope the plot isn't predictable. But most novels follow the same formula; you can tell the ending from the beginning (no suspense). This is the only one I've been able to get into recently. It's not amazing, but it's better than many formulaic novels.
