The Infrastructure-Building Princess

Su Wan, a modern environmental medicine PhD, wakes up in another era as the unwanted bride sent to bring good fortune to a northern frontier prince. On their wedding night, Yuwen Tuo, the powerful prince who rules the court, warns her coldly: “Know your place. This manor has no room for idlers.”

Su Wan looks out at the blighted land, ravaged by plague and polluted rivers, then down at her idle hands. Save it? How? Is she supposed to spend her time in the inner quarters fighting with a gaggle of jealous beauties?

No! Her battlefield is somewhere else!

Late one night, Yuwen Tuo barges into her “laboratory.” Emotions she can’t read swirl in his eyes. “Su Wan, who are you, really? You build cities, cultivate fields, save lives... Are you planning to claim the whole world for yourself?”

Su Wan slaps away his mud-covered hand. “You’re overthinking it, Your Highness. I just want people here to live with a little dignity, and maybe... make a little money on the side.”
