I Save Ancient Times from Famine Through Farming

Ji Wanbai transmigrates into a book, becoming a cannon-fodder female supporting character whose only purpose is to save Shen Mu, the male lead. In the book, Shen Mu is a covert agent sent by the Chen Kingdom to Jing Kingdom. His infiltration throws the court into chaos and ultimately leads to Jing Kingdom's downfall.

System: Your mission is to stop the severe drought from spreading across Jing Kingdom and change the kingdom's fate of destruction.

Ji Wanbai: Why not just kill the villainous male lead?

System: ...Host, don't rush. Let's take this one step at a time.

Fine. With the System's help, Ji Wanbai gradually develops ways to increase crop yields, raises poultry, and slows the drought's progress. She also stays by Shen Mu's side, trying to sabotage his plans.

But why isn't this villainous male lead anything like the one in the book? Weren't you supposed to be cold-blooded and utterly inhuman?! Who is this guy who follows me around all day trying to cuddle? Did I pick up the wrong person?

Later, as Shen Mu's schemes gradually come to light, Ji Wanbai falls into deep thought, wondering if she'd read a fake book.

Ji Wanbai: Could it be that you're reborn?

Shen Mu nods. "That's right."

In his previous life, Shen Mu was burdened by his sins and trapped in darkness. In the end, the greatest joke was himself. Reborn in this life, he is determined to change the outcome of his previous one.

Then he suddenly realizes that the young girl who saved him in his previous life seems a little different. As they spend more time together, he gradually falls for her.

You are my salvation in the darkness.
