Lin Yan is a top double PhD in the twenty-first century, with cutting-edge core technologies in ecological infrastructure and quantum spaces. An explosion during an experiment sends her body to an ancient battlefield, a parched land stretching for thousands of miles, littered with the starving dead.
Three years of severe drought have left not a single grain to harvest. War rages, and refugees are everywhere.
Just as starving people are about to tear her apart and eat her, her portable space opens with a roar. Xuanwu, a futuristic mecha bodyguard, appears. Its metal body sweeps through the chaos and strikes fear into every direction.
The space is stocked with food and water, medical supplies and equipment, countless improved seeds, and a body of knowledge a thousand years ahead of its time.
She plans to lie low and build up her strength, but ends up saving Xiao Jue, the disgraced seventh prince, who is being hunted and covered in blood.
One has technology, supplies, and an uncanny talent for infrastructure development.
The other has royal standing, military power, and the determination to restore the realm.
From then on, deserts become fertile fields, clear springs flow through dried-up rivers, roads are paved with concrete, steel is smelted in blast furnaces, diseases are treated, disasters are quelled, schools are founded, and the military is strengthened.
She uses modern technology to break through feudal ignorance, infrastructure to fight natural disasters and famine, and the might of mecha to end the wars tearing the land apart.
From a ruined border city to a unified realm, from a famine-ravaged age of chaos to a prosperous golden age.
The disgraced prince steadily ascends the throne, and she stands at his side, becoming the infrastructure goddess no one in the dynasty dares to offend.
He offers the realm as his betrothal gift, the mountains and rivers as her wedding present.
She built this realm with her own hands, and she will rule it with them too.
