She Transmigrated to Ancient Times and Was Forced into Land Reclamation

Su Yaoyao is unlucky in love. She resolves to give up on men, work hard, and escape poverty, but a gas explosion sends her transmigrating to ancient times, where she finds herself with six younger brothers. Both their parents are dead, and they’re stuck with her, an unreliable older sister who used to beat them at every turn. They never get enough to eat or warm enough clothes to wear!

Su Yaoyao decides to work hard and change her family’s fortunes. She spends all day selling hand-griddled pancakes and finally saves enough to open a hot pot restaurant, only to be snatched away by someone who wants her to help reclaim wasteland!

The man is strange, too. He says that if she helps him build his fortune, he’ll pay her a hundred thousand taels of gold! Su Yaoyao hates to leave her hot pot restaurant behind, but the thought of a hundred thousand taels of gold wins her over. She hands the restaurant to her younger brothers and takes off!

But she never expects that for hundreds of thousands of miles in every direction, his land is all barren. His servants are gaunt, and every one of them is out begging. Reclaiming this kind of wasteland? Forget it. She wouldn’t go for a million taels!

The man seems to read her mind. He says a hundred thousand taels isn’t enough and offers to pay her that much every year from now on. Hearing how generous he is, Su Yaoyao figures that only a fool would turn down money, so she puts all her savings into helping him build his fortune. But once his family prospers, he can’t even come up with ten thousand taels!

This time, Su Yaoyao decides to leave for good, but her younger brother stops her. “Sister, you’re pregnant now. If you don’t marry brother-in-law soon, your child will be unregistered!”

(No System or golden finger here. The female lead relies entirely on her intelligence and hard work, driven by her determination to escape poverty!)
