This is a fictionalized period setting, so please don’t compare it to real history.

As a toad, she cultivated hard and made some progress after 400 years, only to be buried under a palace in an absurd twist of fate.

Then she was reborn in the womb. Golden light filled the sky, and after three years of drought, the heavens celebrated by sending down rain for three straight days.

Even in a year of disaster, her family was blessed with one lucky break after another. While other people were so poor they had to eat grass and tree bark, her family kept finding pheasants, hares, and wild goats, while big fish and crabs practically showed up at their door.

Other children learned to walk at one. At one, she could recite 300 Tang poems; at two, she could breeze through arithmetic; at three, she could uproot a willow with one hand and beat everyone within ten miles. She understood the language of beasts, and all creatures bowed to her.

She carried a magical bag of holding and gathered ginseng and lingzhi mushrooms to her heart’s content.

At two, she learned military boxing from her grandfather, how to curse from her grandmother, opera singing from her father, calligraphy from her mother, carpentry from her eldest uncle, housebuilding from her third uncle, and hunting from her fourth uncle.

She learned medicine from an elderly doctor sent to the countryside, studied science and math with experts, and learned eight foreign languages on the side.

At just eight years old, she had mastered a hundred different skills, excelling in both scholarship and martial arts.

This eight-year-old genius can paint mountains and rivers with a few strokes, declare war on invaders on behalf of her country, and grow stronger against stronger foes. No one can tell how powerful she really is.
