A Spring Breeze, a Dream of Nan Ke

No romance, farming, infrastructure, power struggles, idealism.

This is the story of Xiao Zizhuo, an idealist who transmigrates to another world resembling the early Han dynasty. Using her advanced technical knowledge, she introduces agricultural reforms and improves people's livelihoods in the region of Ying. At first, she achieves remarkable results in Xiaonan Township, bringing it to a technological level comparable to that of the late Tang dynasty. But Emperor Yao Xinghao of Ying secretly plots to exploit her achievements as a bargaining chip in his struggle for power.

Oppressed by feudal forces, Xiao Zizhuo realizes that idealism alone cannot stand up to tyranny. She leads her followers across the sea to Dingguan Island, facing Ying, and builds a secluded paradise there. Later, she gathers her strength, successfully overthrows Ying, and establishes a new regime called Pingzhi. Yet the new regime cannot escape the fate of power struggles, and new conflicts arise between the forces of former Lixiang Commandery and Xiaonan Township. In the end, Xiao Zizhuo chooses to take her System rewards and retire to Ningxian Island with her adoptive mother, Yin Nanfu, and other loved ones, living a secluded life of immortality. Through its dual narrative, the story explores the hardships and fate of idealism in a feudal society.
