In a Chaotic, Famine-Stricken World, My Husband Returns from the Dead

Farming + Transmigration + Daily Life + Dual Powers + Face-Slapping + Raising Kids + Infrastructure Building After learning that her own mother-in-law had sent her daughter to be sacrificed to the sea, the original owner dies of grief. At that moment, Song Qingzhi, from the apocalypse, transmigrates into her body. With two supernatural powers at her disposal, she's got plenty to eat and drink. The moment she opens her eyes, her awful mother-in-law's family comes looking for trouble. She doesn't even bother to put on an act: she beats the worst offenders, then immediately splits from the family. Her mother-in-law lets out a cold laugh, her face full of contempt and mockery. “Times are so hard, the common people are suffering terribly and barely surviving. You're a helpless woman with no one to rely on after splitting from the family. There's only one possible ending for you: death!” Song Qingzhi couldn't care less. When the villagers hear about it, they all decide she won't live to see next spring. Before long, Song Qingzhi is thriving. Just when she thinks life is getting better and better, her husband, who died in battle, comes home! Song Qingzhi's jaw drops. Can someone who's been dead long enough for a mound to grow half a meter tall really come back to life? Later, as the realm falls into chaos, her husband, the man who died in battle, places the imperial seal in her hands. “It's yours.” Song Qingzhi stares at him. “What do you mean?” “You should take the throne, my wife.” Forced to ascend the throne as empress, Song Qingzhi curbs the power of the great clans, establishes the imperial examinations and women's schools, and allows women to serve as officials. She implements policies to reduce taxes and labor levies, encourages farming, supports handicrafts and commerce, and strengthens the military.
