After transmigrating into the body of an abandoned consort in the Cold Palace, Lin Xiaomai has no food or warm clothes. All she has left are a scrawny maid and a guard covered in wounds.
Staring at the vast stretch of wasteland before her, Lin Xiaomai falls into thought.
She graduated from an agricultural university. To her, this isn't wasteland. It's a granary waiting to happen.
Vegetables, grain, flowers: with the System's help and her professional knowledge, she can grow them all.
Before long, the Cold Palace's vegetables are fresher than those in the Imperial Kitchen, and its grain stores are fuller than the national treasury.
The consorts line up to trade with her, court officials quietly make inquiries, and even the emperor can't help taking a closer look.
But that icy-faced God of War prince refuses to do things the usual way.
The first time they meet, he tramples her vegetable garden into a mess.
The second time, she mistakes him for a eunuch delivering vegetables and orders him to haul things around all afternoon.
The third time, he stands at the Cold Palace gates in imperial robes and asks her:
"Would you like to be my empress?"
Lin Xiaomai: ??? That eunuch was the emperor???
Well enough,,,
