Su Huaijin, a double doctorate in special operations, opens her eyes to find herself transmigrated into the body of a poor, orphaned girl in the famine-stricken Great Yong Dynasty, where women hold power. From the start, her farmland is stolen and her whole clan bullies her. Everyone in the village bets she won’t survive the winter.
No one expects this orphan who clawed her way out of the mud to turn the tables on her rotten relatives, reclaim wasteland, cultivate new crops, expand trade, and build roads. In just half a year, she transforms a dirt-poor village into a prosperous place for miles around. She even dares to smash the century-old rules that let aristocratic families monopolize power. As a woman from a humble family, she charges into the imperial examinations, fighting her way through all six rounds at the county, prefectural, academy, provincial, metropolitan, and palace levels, becoming the dynasty’s first humble-born top scholar to earn the distinction of Sixfold First!
She can dazzle the court with her policy essays, and she can slaughter bandits with her bare hands and defeat martial arts grandmasters to become a Martial Saint.
(The author is easy to persuade. Ask for an update and you’ll get a flood of chapters.)
