Lin Xiaoman transmigrated to ancient times with the golden finger of a "human soil analysis device."
A great drought was on the horizon, and the age of chaos was about to begin.
Thousands of miles of barren earth, not a blade of grass in sight, corpses littering the land, people eating one another, and waves of refugees sweeping across the realm.
In this world, someone transmigrated every year. The transmigrators were lavishly supported by powerful clans, yet met bizarre, premature deaths like blades of grass. Of the thirty-one transmigrators, only sixteen remained. The show only ever showed their shining moments. No one told her that this golden finger came at the cost of her life.
To survive in this world where people devoured one another, she would have to fight not only natural disasters, but human calamity as well.
The great clans sealed their granaries. Debts consumed people. A bowl of porridge bought a contract of servitude.
She taught farmers to read and write, and at night secretly dug wells and redirected mountain springs.
Before the sky collapsed, she had to grow drought-resistant sweet potatoes. Amid the great clans' power struggles, she had to protect the old and weak behind her.
If the rain wouldn't come, people would find water themselves. If the great clans wouldn't save them, people would save one another.
Amid a bloody struggle of schemes and power among the great clans, she carved out a path to survival with her hoe.
She also had to expose the shocking fraud behind the "fate" of the transmigrators, before the bloodstained black stone statue.
In this desperate situation where death was all but certain,
only farming could bring peace to the realm.
