CompletedWhen Ye Wenxue opened her eyes, she had transmigrated into the body of a widowed mother whose children would tragically die young. These children were all future villains.
At the start, she faced a multitude of crises: her husband was dead, there had been a continuous drought for months, rebel troops were about to attack, wicked people facing starvation were trying to sell her family, and the villagers watched on with cold indifference.
The road of scarcity and fleeing ahead was even more perilous, fraught with constant trouble.
Ye Wenxue thought, "... Is this famine something I absolutely must flee from?"
She possessed wood-elemental supernatural abilities and a spatial artifact. Deciding on another path, she decided to lead her five young cubs into the deep mountains to escape the famine.
She started cultivating the land, picking mushrooms and bamboo shoots, raising geese and pigs, gathering bracken, collecting chestnuts, and picking toon leaves.
She wasn't afraid of natural disasters or man-made calamities. Deep within the mountains, she settled down, raised her cubs, survived the year of famine and the chaotic times, and prospered along the way.
Her cubs grew up plump and healthy, and their lives flourished. Ye Wenxue became someone everyone admired.
But what did that certain someone blocking her path mean?
If you want to be the cubs' stepfather, you'll have to get in line!
