A Vase Connects to Ancient Times: In a Famine, I Bring Supplies to Feed a Tyrant

Past and present connected + stockpiling + infrastructure + famine + cold-faced tyrant x clear-headed heiress

Shen Shujin discovers that the vase in her laboratory has come to life and can connect to the ancient state of Chu.

Through it, she meets Chu's young emperor.

She learns that a drought has struck Chu: riverbeds have dried up, corpses litter the land, and hundreds of thousands are without food and water. Noble clans scheme against one another, while the Qiang tribes loom threateningly beyond the borders.

With no way out, a goddess descends from the heavens with a pig, claiming she can feed hundreds of thousands of people on the condition that they send her back to the modern world.

Pei Huaizhi sends her back to ancient times.

From then on, Shen Shujin stockpiles food in vast quantities and supplies the soldiers and people of Chu.

When she learns the emperor is going to war, she brings him advanced modern weapons, giving the ancients a massive shock.

To repay her, the emperor sends her gold, jade, and antiques in bulk...

With the antiques Pei Huaizhi gives her, she rises to the top of the world, leaving the fake heiress consumed with envy and jealousy...

Meanwhile, with the food and weapons she provides, Chu's emperor leads his people to feast on meat and stockpile provisions, while the other nations, still eating grass, can only hide away and weep with envy.

After Chu is at peace, Pei Huaizhi arrives with a marriage contract to propose: A Jin, will you marry me?

Shen Shujin: ...Fine, fine, so this was your plan all along.
