The Fake Heiress, a Cannon Fodder, Raises an Army in Rebellion

[Feel-good story + strong heroine + transmigration + nation-building + building a career]

A modern-day genius with an exceptionally high IQ wakes up as the fake heiress, a cannon-fodder supporting character in a story about a real and fake heiress.

On the way into exile, the heroine digs for wild vegetables alongside the hero.

While she's focused on building her career, she also saves a disposable heir caught in a succession struggle.

As the heroine and hero grow closer and start building a happy life in a thatched hut in their place of exile,

she's recruiting talent, training people, and building an army.

Just as the heroine and hero get ready to pull themselves together and take revenge,

wait, hold on.

Where did this Gu Zhixu come from?

By now, Gu Zhixu has taken control of everything north of the Xia Kingdom and commands the world's largest granaries. Wherever she points, her troops strike.

While the heroine and hero are barely scraping together a ragtag group,

Gu Zhixu has already crushed the Xiongnu with her army.

Sister Gu is completely focused on her career!

Building infrastructure, nurturing talent, setting up laboratories, and making generators.

Everyone on the continent thinks about the same thing every day: Why hasn't Gu Zhixu attacked us yet? We want to watch TV too!

But why has this young emperor attached himself to me? I helped you conquer the realm, so just govern it properly. Managing the family in my previous life was exhausting enough. I don't want to keep working myself to the bone.

I only want to focus on my career! Men, stay away!

Xiao Qizhen: Perfect. I'm looking for an empress. Why don't you make a little sacrifice, Chancellor Gu?

Gu Zhixu: Get lost! Stop interrupting my experiments!

Gu Zhixu's name would be passed down through the ages. She overturned the imperial system that had ruled for thousands of years...
