[Heroine transmigrates into a book + main cast reborn + rising through the ranks and making a fortune + light nation-building]
Yan Guanlan, a hardworking chemical engineer, transmigrates into a novel about the love and hatred of princes and nobles. She becomes a nameless background character who dies a horrible death before the story even begins.
Guanlan doesn't want to die. She wants to go home. So she sets herself the modest goal of earning enough to live comfortably. First, kill her enemies, make white sugar, and lead her family away from the brink of ruin.
But before Guanlan can take that first step, the entire main cast gathers in the small city where she lives.
The novel's heroine: “You are my faith. In my last life, you helped me ascend the throne. In this life, I will protect you at all costs.”
The second female lead: “My mentor, this time it's the student's turn to protect you.”
The original male lead: “It's my greatest honor to serve alongside you at court. It would be even better if you stayed away from my wife.”
The others refuse to be outdone, quietly paving the way for Guanlan...
Guanlan: “??? Why has my goal of earning enough to live comfortably turned into climbing straight to the top? Never mind. Since that's how it is, let's build a glorious age of prosperity!”
But I still have to go home!
Shen Zhibai (with sparkling puppy-dog eyes): “What about me?”
Guanlan: “You're coming with me!”
