After Becoming a Cannon Fodder Maid, I Built Infrastructure in a Chaotic World

[Two powerful leads who dote on each other + building and farming + political intrigue and growth]

A cool-headed heroine focused on making money + a beautiful, tragic, seemingly gentle but secretly calculating future power broker

Ye Xi is an expert scavenger and skilled grower from the interstellar age. She transmigrates into the body of a young maid who survived the general’s mansion’s confiscation.

Her System loan is still unpaid, and her only golden finger is a spatial realm that devours money to level up.

With the general’s mansion awash in blood, Ye Xi grabs the gold and silver and makes a run for it.

First she picks up a four-year-old toddler, then she’s forced to take in a stubborn young man who refuses to give up.

She softens for a moment… Fine, she’ll take in these two burdens!

Everyone says the southwestern frontier is a place where death is all but certain, and the emperor’s shadow guards are in relentless pursuit.

With the supplies in her spatial realm and her advanced farming skills, Ye Xi teaches the villagers to cut holes in the ice and catch fish, transforming a desolate village into the richest town on the border.

The young man, secretly waiting for his chance to take revenge, takes her hand. “Ye Xi, money alone isn’t enough. In this world, you need power too.”

Later, he returns at the head of his cavalry, now a regent with power over the entire court.

He can turn the tide of court politics, but at home he puts on an apron and asks softly by the fields full of fresh vegetables:

“My lady, which mountain would you like to buy today? We’ve got gold to spare!”

From a desolate border village to the heights of the capital, we save each other and turn the whole world upside down.
