[Flight from Famine + Infrastructure Building + Farming + Family Life + Imperial Exams + Founding a World] (A slow burn, so please bear with it.)
Shen Suihe's family of four wakes up inside an ancient-era flight-from-famine novel, as cannon fodder A, B, C, and D in the Great Yan dynasty.
The good news is that the whole family made it in one piece. The bad news is that natural disasters are about to strike, and she never finished reading the book.
Luckily, she has a Peach Blossom Spring pocket dimension. Completing System missions earns her useful supplies.
So they'll meet trouble as it comes and deal with it! She rallies the whole family and the villagers to migrate north together.
She imagines them settling near the imperial capital: her father farming and building infrastructure, her mother opening a shop and making a fortune, while her sister and she lie flat and enjoy life!
But who could've guessed that on the road they'd keep running into miracle doctors to rescue and princes to save, and even her younger cousin seems to know more than she should!
There's no peace at home or away!
Shen Suihe slams the table. “There's no point being a couch potato!”
She urges her father to take the imperial examinations. “Dad, that guy didn't pass the provincial exam until he was fifty. You're only thirty, this is the perfect time to give it a shot!”
She praises her mother's cooking. “Mom, your pastries rival the imperial chef's. You could absolutely open another shop!”
She encourages her sister to design clothes. “Sis, your eyes are the perfect measuring tool. You have to take charge of fashion in Great Yan!”
As for Shen Suihe herself...
She declares, “My medical skills are second to none! And every room in my Peach Blossom Spring is piled high with stuff already. Xie Sanlang, could you stop dragging your feet?”
Xie Sanlang's eyes light up. “Manman, don't rush me. I'll arrange the matchmakers and betrothal gifts, then marry you right away!”
Shen Suihe sighs. “I meant, go wipe out all the villains!”
Xie Sanlang pouts. “I don't want to be emperor. I only want you...”
Shen Suihe is speechless. “Can't you have a little ambition?”
