Late Ming: At First, I Really Just Wanted to Survive

[One heroine + rise of the common people + no System, but with a spiritual spring space + slow-paced early on, then faster from the middle]

In the first year of the Chongzhen era, a severe drought struck Shaanxi, and people resorted to cannibalism.

My name is Wu Ada, and I transmigrated here.

When I first arrived, I told myself: Don’t meddle. Don’t play the hero. Just stay alive.

At first, all I really wanted was to survive.

Then a local gentryman tried to kill me.

Then a county magistrate tried to wipe me out.

Then an emperor tried to capture me.

Then the people called the Jian Nu insisted on attacking me.

All I wanted was to stay alive.

But they wouldn’t let me.

So I made sure they died first.

Later, they called me “the greatest emperor of all time.”

Whenever I hear that title, I often think back to the day I first arrived

Starving and dizzy, crouched by the roadside, telling myself:

“Everything is just about staying alive...”

This is the story of an ordinary man from the lowest rung of society, who “only wanted to stay alive at first” but was driven by the times to become an emperor.
