Twelve years after transmigrating to ancient times, disaster struck without warning. When the son-in-law of a family living next door in the same village came to bring his family back to the village so they could flee together, Su Yang finally remembered that she had transmigrated into a book. Her family was the foil to the protagonists in this story about an entire family fleeing famine.
In the original story, the heroine was the beloved darling of her family, protected by everyone and never wanting for food, clothing, shelter, or travel.
She, on the other hand, was the most hated person in the refugee party, a worthless burden in her family's eyes. Even getting a bite to eat during the journey was a struggle, and she eventually died on the road, exhausted and starving.
In the original story, the heroine's family became the leaders of the group.
The family members who despised her were also driven out of the party. After finally walking all the way to their destination, they were killed in a rebellion before they could even enter the city.
But now, Su Yang watched her grandparents sneak over to stuff food and drink into her hands, her brothers taking turns coaxing her and offering to carry her, her mother making up her bedding for the night, her father listening to her and building her a luxurious carriage, and her younger brothers obediently following her orders...
Well, what a shame. Her universally hated aura had worn off.

Su Yang had only just become the leader of the boys her age in the village. She hadn't even put her plan to make her underlings earn money for her into action when disaster struck without warning. What else could she do? Hurry up, pack, and flee with her family!
Su Yang thought the days ahead would be spent fleeing disasters with the villagers and fighting against nature. She never expected that the more they fled, the larger their group would grow...
Bonus scene:
Su Yang: I really didn't mean to change the dynasty!
Her underlings: What? Boss, you want to ascend the throne?
Su Yang: ...
Her underlings: Got it, Boss! One word: Attack!
Su Yang, who hadn't said a thing: …
What do you do when your underlings are just too capable?
