Synopsis

[Strong heroine, high combat ability, decisive and ruthless, warm on the outside and cool within, good at disguises, and self-serving rather than a paragon of virtue. She has a powerful golden finger: a System store that lets her shop across different planes. The heroine uses secret identities while farming and developing infrastructure.] Yu Changyue had barely gotten used to her golden finger when, the very next day after receiving it, she fell beneath the walls during a zombie siege. She transmigrated to an unfamiliar ancient world, where she became Xu Qing, a widow of the Li family who was the only adult left to manage the household. Her family was dirt poor, and she had two sons and three nieces and nephews to raise. Fortunately, she had her golden finger, with all the food and cultivation techniques she could want. Having been given a second life, Xu Qing only wanted to grow stronger in secret and enjoy a comfortable retirement, eating, drinking, and having fun. But the Great Qi dynasty was in turmoil, conflicts raged, bandits were everywhere, the people were in misery, and foreign powers were watching hungrily. Her dream of being a carefree slacker was shattered. Xu Qing only wanted to live in peace, but they wouldn’t even let her stay in one little village? Fine, then she’d take all of Longzhou! She built her own power from the ground up, with advanced robots managing operations and construction. Her storehouses overflowed with grain, and her wide array of cultivation techniques drew countless talents to her side. As she raised children and ran the rapidly rising Changyue Tower, its boss Xu Qing would occasionally put on a different secret identity to promote her ventures. Her days were both leisurely and exciting.

The protagonist does whatever they want, neither wholly good nor wholly evil. If you don't mess with me, I won't mess with you. If you do, I'll hit back. They should still have a moral compass!!!
