[Turmoil + No Romance + Empress + Nation-Building + Wish Fulfillment]
The land is shattered and war rages everywhere. Order has collapsed, and the people are displaced, while the powerful continue to indulge in extravagance and exploit them without restraint.
She has no mysterious System to help her.
But she has a phone!
Don't know medicine?
Baidu it.
Don't know how to smelt iron?
Baidu it.
Don't know how to make gunpowder?
Baidu it.
Want sweet potatoes?
Buy them.
Want potatoes?
Buy them.
With a phone in hand, the world is mine.
The land is in turmoil and corpses litter the fields, yet the wealthy hoard food and riches, caring nothing for the people's lives.
And so begins her campaign to “rob the rich to help herself.” She uses her spoils to recruit soldiers and build an army, turning the tables in a series of political struggles until she reaches the pinnacle of power and becomes the empress who rules the world.
(Note: The heroine doesn't have much presence in the first few chapters. She needs time to grow, so please go easy on her. The System also plays only a minor role overall.)
