After Arriving in the Mountains, I Helped the Whole Village Get Rich

Transmigration + fictional setting + no romance + farming + gathering herbs

Lin Wan, a modern agricultural and traditional Chinese medicine specialist, transmigrates to Qingzhu Village in the Wumeng Mountains of southwestern Dayan, a fictional dynasty. From the start, she faces the desperate prospect of being bullied by her clan uncle and having no food to eat. Drawing on her modern agricultural and medicinal knowledge, Lin Wan clears hillside plots, grows purple potatoes and bitter buckwheat, gathers medicinal herbs such as mint and notoginseng, dries mountain produce, and even brews distinctive eight-month melon wine, gradually lifting herself out of poverty.

She not only protects her own livelihood and that of Granny Chen, but also acts with kindness, forming a mutual-aid group to teach villagers how to grow crops and brew wine. She even shares her techniques with neighboring villages, establishing large-scale production. When tax collectors make trouble and schemers cause problems, she stays composed and strikes back decisively. Merchants from the city begin buying in bulk, opening up new markets and helping Qingzhu Village escape poverty for good. Every household builds a tiled-roof home and has enough food and clothing.

From an orphan to the backbone of the entire village, Lin Wan puts down roots in another world through her own hard work and ingenuity. She leads the people of Qingzhu Village along a prosperous path of mutual support and diligence, writing a heartwarming and inspiring tale of rural prosperity.
