I Transmigrated into Huanbi, and My Goal Is the Stars and the Sea

Who says you have to enter the palace when you transmigrate to the Qing Dynasty? Who says transmigrating to ancient times means getting caught up in household drama? Who says women can only think about romance? Li Yin, a female college student, accidentally transmigrates into the world of Empresses in the Palace. She becomes Huanbi, the unloved second young lady with lofty ambitions and a short life. After the original owner throws herself against a coffin and dies, Li Yin becomes the Prince Guo's new secondary consort. At once, she goes from servant to master, with a house, a carriage, and silver. Someone has even given birth to her son for her. She has no in-laws, and even her husband, though only by name, is dead. In this enormous princely estate, she's the one in charge now. At first, she lies flat, shuts herself away, and starts a life of indulging herself, pretending to be heartbroken while eating, drinking, and having fun. After a while, she decides this life is far too aimless. Is she really going to waste everything she learned in her previous life, after seventeen years of hardship and studying by lamplight? No way. She's going to make things happen. Breed better crops, farm, raise pigs, make cement, open shops, build houses... If she's going to play, she might as well think big. A tiny breach can sink a great dike. If she can focus on production with one hand and development with the other, she can change the course of this world. A mantis taking on a chariot will be more than just an idiom. When cement roads cover the country, when one new building after another rises from the ground, when national output soars beyond the sky, when a powerful, prosperous, self-sufficient dynasty with trading ports everywhere awakens, who will be able to stand against it? We don't praise suffering. We put an end to it.
