Reborn in the Famine Years

A transmigration drops him into a vast, chaotic world ravaged by famine. Drought, locust plagues, and blizzards follow one after another; villages are strewn with the starved dead, and human nature is torn apart by hunger. Lin Chen arrives alone in this desperate wasteland, relying on his stockpiled supplies to fortify his courtyard, hoard grain and firewood, and gain a foothold in the brutal chaos. He reaches out to orphaned girls left homeless and adrift, and stands firm against greedy, plundering villagers to establish his authority. Beyond the swirling snow, inside the small courtyard there is stable food and clothing; outside the walls, the chaotic world rises and falls. From a desperate fight for survival to a family keeping watch together, witness how an ordinary man in a catastrophic era guards his own small paradise.
