Lin Xi, a PhD in agronomy, dies suddenly in her laboratory and wakes up as an orphan in an ancient farming family.
Her ramshackle house leaks, her uncle and aunt are cruel, and they’re about to sell her to Zhang the Butcher, a sixty-year-old, for five taels of silver.
A hellish start? She grabs a handful of poisonous weeds and mixes them into the spoiled porridge.
That night, her second aunt runs back and forth to the latrine until her legs give out. Her second uncle kicks down the door to catch Lin Xi, only to get a face full of her poisonous powder.
She escapes into the mountains and binds herself to a damaged System. It accelerates the growth of potato seedlings until they yield a thousand-pound giant tuber!
One bite leaves her incredibly full and sends her strength soaring.
But the System’s cold prompt reads: [Fullness +300%, strength +50%, lasts 12 shichen.]
[Side effect: weakness for the next 24 shichen.]
Lin Xi looks at the thousand-pound potato in her hands and gives a wry smile. Is this lousy golden finger a lifeline or a death sentence?
