I Opened Up the Frontier With Five Hundred Kids and Became the Founding Empress

[Strong Female Lead + Infrastructure Building + Political Intrigue + Ensemble Cast + Coming of Age]

The Great Yin Dynasty wants her dead. They throw her aboard the Immortal-Seeking Prison Ship and cast her into the vast sea.

Twelve-year-old Su Qingyuan survives. With hundreds of abandoned children, she drifts to a deserted island.

No food? Grow it themselves.

No shelter? Build it themselves.

No city? Build one themselves!

A group of half-grown children somehow build an entire realm from the depths of despair.

From a sacrificial offering at sea to the Lord of Qingyuan City,

she seeks no immortality, engages in no palace intrigue, and depends on no one.

Through infrastructure and popular support alone, she holds together a vast realm.

The Great Yin abandoned me, so I'll build my own home and nation!

If Heaven won't save the people, I'll save them myself!
