[Fleeing famine + strong heroine + no romance + political intrigue + transmigration]
Chu Lan transmigrates into another world. A woman fleeing famine becomes emperor, but only because she has no choice.
At first, she was just a starving refugee. Fortunately, Heaven took pity on her and granted her superhuman strength and a space.
On the road fleeing famine, refugees cry out, “Please be our leader!”
At the mountain stronghold, bandits shout, “You're the only one fit to be our chief!”
As she builds a city-state, the people kneel and beg, “Please take the throne and become our emperor!”
Chu Lan goes from the dusty plains to the imperial palace, completely bewildered.
All she wanted was to walk south to Jiangnan and live a quiet life. How did things end up like this?
