She transmigrates into an old widow during a famine, and it's hell mode from the start!
After waking up, modern office worker Lin Xi finds herself an impoverished, mean old widow in an ancient farming village. Her home is bare, her children and grandchildren are useless, and famine ravages the land. Her entire family is on the verge of starving to death in a ditch.
Fortunately, she gets an “Ad-Watching System.” Watch a thirty-second ad each day, and she can trade it for real gold and silver, fine rice and flour, even knowledge from the future! With her golden finger in hand, this formidable old lady gets up to all kinds of mischief:
She claims her ancestors appeared in a dream to lay down the family rules, then cracks down hard on her eccentric children. No one gets to defy her!
She gets seed potatoes from ads, and a thousand catties per acre brings the whole region to its feet and catches a princess's attention!
With one clever scheme after another, she takes on bullies, outsmarts a gambling-debt crisis, and leads the whole village to make money and prosper!
From survival to political intrigue, her stage is no longer limited to the fields!
All she wanted was to stay alive. Instead, before she knew it, she was leading the village women to make money and build careers, catching the attention of a princess passing through! The princess stares at my stockpile of grain and my cement walls, wide-eyed. “Madam, come north with me and build a career!”
From then on, the farming story turns into a political-intrigue novel! I'm a fifty-year-old woman, watching ads with one hand and building infrastructure with the other, while helping the princess become an empress! When those old fossils at court call us “hens crowing at dawn,” I slap them with “women hold up half the sky”!
Click to see how this formidable old lady watches little ads and blazes her way from the village's leading lady to the heights of the imperial palace!
From formidable old lady to protector of the realm, Lin Xi proves through her actions: your granny will always be your granny!
(It probably isn't necessary, but just a reminder: the heroine has no romantic pairing~)
This is a really good, satisfying read!! The female protagonist transmigrates and becomes the matriarch of a large family. From the initial despair of seeing her family in such a chaotic and bizarre state, to the gradual efforts to straighten them out after a turning point, the story is vividly portrayed, making you want to think along with her. As a truly satisfying read, it's excellent!!
It's truly a very good book. The female lead didn't say she absolutely had to save the son she was helping; she said she'd save those she could, but she'd abandon those who were fundamentally flawed. Moreover, the female lead is genuinely courageous and resourceful, with a high IQ.
This novel truly embodies a deep love for women; most of the important characters are women, and even the original owner's son is only given a number and name, with genuine respect shown in how he's addressed—not as the eldest son's or second son's son. Author, as long as you don't change this, I will always follow this fantastic work, and I hope more people can see it.
I already told the author that I was reading it on my dad's phone, so this review might not be accurate because I haven't read it long enough. But this book is truly excellent, and I'm very grateful to the author for not stopping updates and for not giving up on it. I hope this book gets better and better and reaches more people. It's incredibly good, logically sound, and even a little funny—a unique kind of farming novel!
The writing is incredibly detailed and insightful, vividly portraying the hunger and deprivation of the characters. It's almost like a food novel (everyone seems to be eating heartily, which made me crave food too!). This book is truly excellent, with a tight, interconnected plot and a clear, concise narrative. The characters are endearing, and the later parts evoke sympathy and tenderness.
Great read! The ads provided initial materials for the protagonist's career development, and the "golden finger" (advantage/advantage) was just right—not too much, not too little. The protagonist still started from scratch, and for me, the early stages of the business were the most interesting.
It's quite good. The female lead's transformation of her family is swift, decisive, and efficient. Finally, the nobles are princesses, no longer just generals, princes, or kings. I think only when women hold power can we better protect the interests of women. The author writes very well.
So far, the writing is quite good, the inner thoughts are described very delicately, and the logic is consistent. Although there's a plot device involving a protagonist with special abilities, the story focuses more on the mutual understanding and support among family members, which is quite heartwarming. ^_^ I'll continue to follow the updates.
It's a very enjoyable and satisfying read. From taking over the family's mess at the beginning, the protagonist gradually redeems them and becomes wealthy. The pacing is quite fast, making it a very comfortable read. The "golden finger" (advantageous character) is used quite reasonably.
It's a great read. The theme is quite ordinary, but the author writes with exquisite skill. The plot is tight and the descriptions are vivid. The "golden finger" (advantageous character development) is just right, and the female lead has a great personality. She saves women from the oppression of the old era, making for a very moving and satisfying read.
