If you're here for escaping famine and farming, come on in.
The proper blurb:
The final years of the Chongzhen reign were marked by internal strife and external threats. From 1637 to 1643, a drought struck, one of the worst in nearly five hundred years. There was war along the borders and bandits roaming the disaster-stricken regions. It was a time of turmoil.
Meanwhile, capitalism was beginning to take root along the Jiangnan coast. This was a remarkable land, where a soul from the future would find itself caught up in a wondrous story.
The author's blurb:
Tian Qinghe knew she'd transmigrated to the end of the Ming dynasty, and she absolutely, positively refused to accept it. She didn't even want the bonus of a pocket dimension. But there was nothing she could do. You can't blame the government for a hard life, or society for bad luck.
Notes:
1. This story is set in the late Ming dynasty, but the author is focused on the story, so there are errors and details that don't match the period. History buffs are welcome to point things out, but please don't flame me. I'll take your feedback to heart. No personal attacks. If you don't like it, click away.
2. The heroine doesn't have an especially powerful golden finger. She has a storage space where living things can't survive. Why give her a cheat at all? Because she doesn't want to die before the final chapter.
3. Unless something unexpected comes up, I'll update daily. I'll take a break if something does.
4. A special reminder: aside from major events of the era and provincial names, all other events and place names are made up by the author. Just think of it as a transmigration story set in a parallel version of the Ming dynasty. Again, please don't read it as a history book.
Let me recommend another story:
My new story, an ongoing inspirational ancient-style romantic comedy: Farming Life: The Wife Sings, the Husband Follows
An ancient farming story with no golden fingers. Both the hero and heroine transmigrate, and build their lives from scratch. They really do start with nothing: at first, they don't even have a place to sleep~
This story is also known as The Model Couple of Ancient Times, The Things That Made Everyone in the Village Envious, Jealous, and Bitter While We Kept Showing Off Our Love, How to Go from Penniless to a Small Landowner in the Village: An Inspirational Story, and How a Scheming Man Turned the Tables and Won the Beauty's Heart
Theme:
The heroine is really stupid and contrived, and her speech in the early stage is very exaggerated. When ancient people talked about modernization, two people would say the same sentence. Didn't the author check it carefully when writing? The last few chapters are a running account. I never gave up on the article and just finished reading it. The writing is not good, so I will persuade you to quit.

Serialized new article "Ancient Refugee Survival Guide", Escape + Farming + Imperial Examination
I really hate this male protagonist. He's so annoying. His mother doesn't even care.
I've watched more than half of it, so I'll record it.
It's really shameful for this man to care about me in this way. Disgusted
Didn't Mr. Liu buy it for 150 before? How come adding 10 becomes 135?
Wow! I saw this in one breath(? ̄??? ̄??)
It's too early to jump into the pit, and it's too time-consuming to pursue articles. . .
The article is good, keep it up
The village chief is interested in Qinghe as his granddaughter-in-law.
