[Business and farming + System + adorable child + satisfying read]
Yu Bailu's plane crashes. When she opens her eyes, she's become the ill-fated niece who was nearly sold off in Heishigou.
Her relatives are mean, and her parents are spineless.
After the family splits up, she is left with two earthen houses and walls that let the wind blow through.
So what if she has to build a fortune from scratch? Women of the Chinese people never give up. She just never expected one calamity after another: drought, snowstorms, war...
The one thing she can be grateful for is her field-research System.
Ding! Natural broomcorn millet: 50 copper coins!
Ding! Wild goosegrass: 50 copper coins!
Ding! Ancient Mongolian people: 50 copper coins!?
At first, Yu Bailu only wanted to help her family achieve a comfortable life. Before she knew it, she had become the richest woman in the Northwest, and everyone who met her had to respectfully call her “Miss Yu.”
A little scene:
Years later, Yuan Chongzhou returns to the capital to congratulate Emperor Sheng on his birthday. Just then, cotton-growing techniques are being promoted nationwide, thanks in no small part to Yu Bailu.
Emperor Sheng is delighted and prepares to issue an edict rewarding her, but when Yuan Chongzhou hears of it, he immediately objects.
Emperor Sheng is puzzled and asks why.
Yuan Chongzhou frowns miserably. “Your Majesty, if you reward her again, I'm afraid I'll really end up alone for the rest of my life.”
Emperor Sheng laughs and teases him. “Why not marry into the Yu family along with your whole prefecture, Chongzhou? Then you can ride on your child's coattails!”
Yuan Chongzhou's eyes light up.
Even the heroine was not sure how old she was at first. She only said she was five months older than her cousin. She only introduced how old her younger brother was.
