Taking the Ancients Back to the Modern Era

Xie Yanqiu’s transmigration starter pack: an entire family from a living, breathing general’s manor. Faced with towering skyscrapers, Xie Yanqiu’s headache only worsens. The “antiques” behind her are completely out of step with modern civilization: Her stubborn father: He insists that “a woman’s virtue lies in her lack of talent” and firmly believes women belong confined to the inner quarters. Her sheltered mother: She is afraid even of electric lights and has barely set foot outside the general’s manor in her entire life. Her eldest brother, a successful candidate in the imperial examinations: His dreams of topping the exams have come to nothing, and he stares at modern textbooks in despair. Her bewildered younger siblings: They are at a loss when faced with cars and airplanes. Xie Yanqiu rolls up her sleeves. “A makeover! We’re doing a complete makeover!” She takes her father to watch a military exercise featuring a steel torrent of troops, then hits him with videos of female special forces until his worldview is shaken. The result? The old-fashioned general becomes the “handsomest martial arts blogger,” with a million followers! She teaches her mother to use a phone, but her mother’s business instincts explode. The small online shop owner transforms into a queen of the business world! Her eldest brother retakes the civil service exam? The ancient prodigy who passed the imperial exams becomes an expert at acing the modern civil service tests! She sends her younger siblings to school? Her “foolish” little brother turns out to be a math genius, while her grandmother becomes a viral food critic thanks to her sharp tongue! The general’s manor, once on the verge of falling apart, rises from the ashes. See how Xie Yanqiu takes charge and turns a house full of “living fossils” into a top-tier family taking the modern world by storm! Recommended new novel: Stone Cottage in the Wilderness, Three Meals for Two, a lovely story about a reclusive person with social anxiety. A century after the catastrophe, civilization has turned to ash. Jian Yi survives calmly in the stone cottage her father left behind, until she finds Lin Ye, badly injured. There are no supernatural powers or zombies, only the wilderness, bitter cold, and scarcity. Brick by brick, they fortify their home; meal by meal, they recreate the flavors of the “past.” A jade pendant with storage space helps keep them alive, while his quiet carving brings warmth and comfort.
