Millet Smoke

Amaranth is edible, and smoke can be seen from afar. Amid the chaos of war, these are the only two things that can keep you alive. The historical setting, major events of the era, and key milestones in Liu Yu's life are all based on official histories, faithfully recreating the society of the late Eastern Jin dynasty. The protagonist transmigrates into the past and struggles to survive alongside the young Liu Yu, sharing everyday routines and small incidents. The heroine, Liu Li, is an original fictional character. The novel does not alter the broad course of history. Grounded in historical fact, it tells the story of people relying on one another, farming and standing guard to survive through an age of turmoil. It combines the weight of real history with a moving romance, making it a worthwhile read for history buffs and fans of love stories alike.
