I Became a Cannon Fodder, Then Built a Nation

Lin Wei, a top civil engineering graduate who died suddenly after staying up all night revising blueprints, opens her eyes to find herself transmigrated into Su Wei, a cannon-fodder illegitimate daughter in an old-fashioned household drama. Her mother died young, her stepmother torments her, and her legitimate sister frames her. From the start, she's facing the classic scene of jumping into a river.

But who can blame her for having a head full of modern engineering knowledge? She fixes floor drains, modifies curved-shaft plows, and digs reservoirs, then turns around and leaves the entire Dayin Dynasty stunned with potatoes!

The Seventh Prince, Xiao Che, squats by her experimental field. "Miss Su, could I borrow these potatoes, which yield three thousand jin per mu, to promote them?"

Su Wei wipes the dirt from her hands. "Sure, but I'll be in charge of the infrastructure projects. First, we'll tear down the Yellow River levee and rebuild it."

From an illegitimate daughter confined to a grand manor to the person overseeing infrastructure for the entire nation, she uses her own two hands to build canals, fill the fields with crops, and work her way into the Seventh Prince's heart.
