Period drama + System + strong female lead + Gu techniques + multiple male leads + comeback + golden finger
If you discovered you’d been transported into a period novel set in the same era as a fellow writer’s, where your partner had sold you to an old bachelor in the village, and after escaping rather than submitting, you accidentally stumbled into a desperate situation, what would you do? Accept your fate, or stir up the depths of the abyss?
Ye Wanxing’s answer was: bind herself to a System, cultivate Gu, and become the ruler who looked down upon the abyss.
When the educated youth Ye Wanxing was cornered by five men in the ancestral hall and told to explain herself, she turned around and bound herself to the “Reproduction System.” The System demanded that she give birth to five babies in a year.
Wanxing sneered and used the System to scan the genes of the entire village, identify the strongest offspring, and make the five men her devoted admirers.
To avoid becoming a tool for childbirth, she used the System to fake a pregnancy, and accidentally uncovered the village’s horrifying secret.
An old witch wanted to use her to make an elixir of immortality? Wanxing exposed a century-old scam in front of everyone and used science to make the so-called holy woman kneel and repent.
The water supply was poisoned? She led the villagers in reclaiming the land and diverting water.
As she sat in the seat of honor in the ancestral hall, her fake pregnancy showing, the System panicked: “Host, your mission...”
Wanxing: “What’s the rush? The real show is just getting started.”
“Female lead: I only wanted to survive, and somehow became a god.”
“Five male leads: At first, we only wanted her to have our children. Later, we only wanted her to have my children.”
“System: This Host is way too formidable. I want to retire early.”
