Transmigrated During the Great Famine — The Little Fool Isn't Foolish Anymore

Lin Zhiyue, a twenty-one-year-old woman from modern times, regains consciousness in a strange world after a car accident. She discovers she has transmigrated into the body of a seven-year-old girl named Lin Zhiyue, who was born mentally impaired and considered a fool by her family. The original owner’s memories are fragmented, filled with warmth from her parents but lacking clarity about her surroundings. She finds herself on the back of her father, Lin Yan, who is fleeing a famine-stricken region in Youzhou. The family has been forced to abandon their home due to war, barbarian invasions, and severe drought. Lin Yan, a former scholar who gave up his ambitions to care for his daughter, carries her through dangerous terrain while avoiding bandits and starving refugees.

As Lin Zhiyue processes her new reality, she realizes she possesses a mysterious spatial ability. Inside her consciousness, there is a thatched hut and a spring of clear water. She can enter this space physically and retrieve items from her modern apartment, including food, water, and self-defense tools. The spring water has miraculous properties, instantly curing exhaustion and hunger. When Lin Yan collapses from fatigue, Lin Zhiyue speaks clearly for the first time in six years, calling him "Dad." This moment brings him to tears, as he had long believed his daughter would never recover. Lin Zhiyue reassures him that she will not leave and explains her situation, revealing her modern background and the existence of her spatial ability.

The father and daughter continue their journey, joining a group of refugees from a neighboring village. Lin Zhiyue uses her space to provide food and water, secretly helping her father endure the harsh conditions. She disguises herself as a boy named Tiezi to avoid suspicion and protect her father from danger. Along the way, she befriends a young boy named Zhuzi, who helps them integrate into the refugee group. However, the journey is perilous. One night, bandits attack the camp, forcing everyone to flee. Lin Zhiyue and Lin Yan escape with the help of Pei Heng, a young nobleman, and his guard, Pei Guang. Pei Heng is being held captive by the bandits, who plan to ransom him for a large sum of money.

Inside the bandits' carriage, Lin Zhiyue uses her dagger to cut the ropes binding her and her father. She also frees Pei Heng and his guard, providing them with spiritual spring water to restore their strength. The group works together to defeat the bandits, with Pei Guang displaying impressive martial arts skills. After escaping, Pei Heng offers to pay for their safety, but Lin Zhiyue negotiates a deal: she will sell him some of the spiritual water in exchange for an escort to Jiangzhou. Pei Heng agrees, and Pei Guang is left to escort them while his master continues on his own path.

Upon reaching Yiyang City, Lin Yan and Lin Zhiyue search for their family among the crowded refugees. They encounter Lin Zhixing, Lin Zhiyue’s cousin, who is being harassed by an old woman claiming to have bought her. Lin Zhiyue intervenes, using her electric baton to subdue the woman and rescue her cousin. The reunion is emotional, as Lin Zhixing recognizes Lin Zhiyue despite her disguise. They then find Lin Yan’s parents and siblings, who are near death from dehydration. Lin Zhiyue provides them with water, saving their lives. The family is finally reunited, but the challenges of survival in a war-torn land remain ahead.

Lin Zhiyue comes to terms with her new identity and the responsibilities that come with it. She understands that her spatial ability is a crucial asset in this dangerous world. With her family safe and her father by her side, she prepares to face the uncertainties of the future. The story highlights the bond between father and daughter, the harsh realities of famine and war, and the hope found in family and resilience.
