Me in Ancient Times with a Construction System

Nan Li, a 25-year-old office worker in the modern world, was heading home after working late on her birthday when she fell into a uncovered well during a rainstorm. She transmigrated to Kaifeng, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, a thousand years in the past.

With no money and no one to turn to, she unexpectedly bonded with an ancient-style infrastructure-building System called “Worlds' Construction.” Armed with the System's starting funds and legal household registration, she took her first difficult steps in this strange, thousand-year-old capital: she changed out of her conspicuously modern clothes, tied up her long hair, and soothed her troubled heart with a steaming bowl of street-side wontons.

By chance, she met Liu Erniang, a cheerful and warmhearted local woman. With Liu Erniang's kind help, Nan Li avoided a trap and found a trustworthy real estate agent, successfully renting the little home of her dreams: three tiled rooms, a well, and a peaceful courtyard planted with pomegranate trees and emerald-green bamboo.

The moment she stepped into this little world of her own, the System's true core feature unlocked: the “Construction · Design” interface. Not only could she plan and remodel her home however she pleased, but the many mysterious buildings and functions still locked within the interface also hinted at a path far beyond anything she had imagined, one that could help her put down roots in this era and even work miracles.

From an exhausted modern wage earner to a “pioneer” with a house and a golden finger in Tokyo, Northern Song, Nan Li's survival story in ancient times begins with running this little courtyard, and gradually unfolds. What awaits her is not just the everyday bustle of food, clothing, and household necessities, but also a grand adventure in which she uses modern thinking and a wondrous System to take part in, and perhaps even reshape, this legendary capital.
