[Faithful couple + world-building + weak at first, strong later + fleeing famine and stockpiling food]
The moment Lin Suisui opens her eyes, she discovers she’s become the tragic villainess in The Prince’s Beloved Farming Girl. Her grandmother and eldest uncle are busy dividing up her original parents’ inheritance, then toss her out and leave her in a drafty, dilapidated shack.
Just as the original owner is about to die with regrets, staring at the sky, a “ding” sounds and Lin Suisui takes over the body. A weakling world-building System comes online, bringing along a huge white goose named Huo Chuanqi, who claims he’s both scholarly and skilled in combat, can cook, and comes with his own spatial realm!
On the road fleeing famine, while everyone else is busy wailing, Lin Suisui is busy chopping trees, digging stone, and prying out ore, determined to build a modern resort. Bandits show up? She robs them! A corrupt official passes by? The white goose swoops in and sweeps everything clean! The villagers think she’s crazy, and the male lead avoids her like the plague.
Lin Suisui couldn’t care less. All she sees are glittering gold mines! And Huo Chuanqi, who was supposed to be a prince, has become her white-goose butler. He joins her in every bit of madness and mischief, while secretly wresting power from his imperial brother and taking the throne for himself.
Everyone calls Lin Suisui crazy, but they don’t know she’s quietly changing the country, building one remarkable structure after another and bringing a little color to a world where imperial power reigns supreme.
