The Abandoned Consort’s Comeback: Ruling the Ancient World with Her Adorable Sci-Fi Baby

Su Qingyuan was a key researcher at a modern interstellar research institute. After an accident, her soul travels back to ancient times, where she becomes a disgraced consort, rejected by the emperor and banished to the Cold Palace. She also finds herself with a three-year-old son, Xiao Nianxing, a cherubic boy regarded as “ill-omened.” The Cold Palace is bleak and full of danger. With no golden finger, she thinks she'll have to struggle just to survive in this ancient world, until she unexpectedly discovers that her son Xiao Nianxing is a “little monster” with interstellar abilities. He can talk to metals from the ancient world, control simple mechanical devices with his mind, and even understand the remnants of interstellar research blueprints in her mind.

Su Qingyuan seizes this glimmer of hope. Combining her scientific knowledge with her son's unusual abilities, she sets out on a “sci-fi comeback” in the ancient world. She builds a simple “automatic water pump” to solve the Cold Palace's water shortage, extracts special metals from ore to make “warning devices” that help them evade schemes in the imperial harem, and develops “nutritional supplements” to improve her and her son's health.

Her remarkable inventions catch the attention of Emperor Xiao Jingyuan. At first, he is suspicious and puts her to the test; then he is astonished and impressed, before falling so deeply for her that he can't pull himself away. The jealousy of the imperial consorts, the doubts of court officials, and the scrutiny of neighboring states all become stepping stones on her path to success. Alongside her adorable son Xiao Nianxing, Su Qingyuan conducts research and builds her power, all while dealing with an emperor who grows more and more clingy. As fragments of interstellar civilization gradually emerge in the ancient world, Su Qingyuan realizes that perhaps her and her son's arrival was no accident... This is a story about a woman with no golden finger who relies entirely on her own intelligence and her adorable son's special abilities to bring sci-fi wonders to the ancient world and triumph over everyone!
