(Transmigration + Female Lead with No Romance + A Touch of Ensemble Cast + Female Emperor + Secondary Couple)
In her previous life, Lu Jia'an was an obscure, secretive nobody.
In this life, she transmigrated into the body of a beggar.
To coast through life, she decided to disguise herself as a man, take the imperial examinations, get a government post, and lie flat. She passed the exams and became the new top scholar, only for a fellow candidate to expose her as a woman in front of the whole court!
Even more shocking, the young empress on the throne was the disciple she had picked up years ago.
Their reunion as master and disciple was upended by a sudden turn of events, and a poverty-alleviation System forcibly bound itself to her. Their first destination: Suiyuan.
Reach S-rank for poverty alleviation across the whole country, and she could go home.
The odds were slim, but for the sake of that tantalizing promise, Lu Jia'an had no choice but to roll up her sleeves and get to work!
Suiyuan was buried in yellow sand and overrun with bandits. The county magistrate's post had been vacant for three years, and no one dared take it.
Everyone expected Lu Jia'an to come running back in disgrace.
Instead, carrying her System and a hoe, Lu Jia'an headed into the boundless sands.
The people of Suiyuan soon discovered that their new top-scholar magistrate was a little unusual.
She could yelp in pain when leeches bit her in the fields, yet she could also turn a wasteland into a veritable Jiangnan...
