Reborn: This Young Lady Is Not to Be Trifled With

[Transmigration + farming + strong female lead + seafaring + business]

Qi Su fell into a sewer and woke up in ancient times, transmigrated into the body of a six-year-old girl. Her father had died, her mother was barely cold in her grave, the family was in debt, and she had a baby sister who was still nursing.

At first, she only wanted to make a living. She was determined to earn as much money as possible, sleep in the softest bed, and enjoy the most extravagant service.

But then, one by one, the women working under her endured hardship without complaint. Some jumped into rivers, some were beaten, and some were humiliated.

She watched from the sidelines, her heart aching. Why was this cruel world so unwilling to make room for women?

She found herself a new goal: may women everywhere no longer be meek and submissive, bowing their heads and obeying; may they no longer be humble and compliant, living only to serve their husbands; may they no longer be defined and abused. May every woman have a mind of her own and shine brilliantly.

Later, a four-year drought struck. The roads were strewn with the starving dead, and the fields were littered with bones. The people ate grass and roots, selling their wives and children, while wealthy merchants hoarded goods and corrupt officials bled the people dry.

She found herself a new goal: may peace reign throughout the land, may the seas be calm and the rivers clear, may the people live and work in peace, and may all know safety and joy.

From the countryside to the capital, from doing business on land to charting new sea routes, Qi Su faced all kinds of trials. Fortunately, she came through them all without serious harm and ultimately achieved her dream.

Please note: No romance, no golden finger, no eccentric relatives. The female lead grows over time and cannot reach the top overnight, so the pacing is relatively slow. Readers who prefer a fast pace may want to steer clear.
