Cheng Xi transmigrates to Guanzhong during the reign of Emperor Yuan of the Western Han dynasty, in the third year of a devastating drought, with famine victims strewn across the land.
She becomes the eldest daughter of the Cheng family, caring for her gaunt parents, taciturn elder brother, second brother anxious to marry, resilient sister-in-law, innocent young niece, and younger sister awaiting her wedding.
As she stares at the millet porridge in her bowl, thin enough to reflect her face, the soul of a modern library research assistant begins trying to save them all.
“Ding! Bilibili tutorial on traditional composting methods loading...”
“Ding! Search for a diagram of a simple Han dynasty waterwheel complete...”
While the neighbors gnaw on tree bark, the Cheng family uses wood ash to improve saline soil, and sweet potato vines quietly spread;
While the village head extorts the people, she makes coarse salt using traditional methods and secretly trades it for life-saving grain;
Her second brother’s betrothal gifts are taken care of, and her younger sister’s dowry is no longer just a pipe dream.
Cheng Xi: Who says a woman can’t make her family prosper? My golden finger is the wisdom of all of China.
