After transmigrating to ancient times, Su Nian opened her eyes to find a handful of wild greens stuffed in her mouth.
System activated: [Myriad Things Gathering and Crafting System], wild shepherd's purse, worth one coin.
Starting with one coin's worth of wild greens, she gathered herbs, made medicine, and opened a shop, carving out a way to survive in an ancient world where people devoured one another.
After finally building up a fortune and supporting a poor scholar through the imperial examinations, her ungrateful husband climbed the social ladder and tried to divorce her.
Su Nian sneered. “A divorce? Fine. The money is mine, the child is mine, and you can leave with nothing.”
After the divorce, she used the System to raise her daughter little by little, teaching her eloquence, the arts, strategy, foresight, and more. She turned a merchant's daughter into the Crown Princess.
Having a Crown Princess wasn't enough. She had to keep raising her grandson, too.
Years later, when the new emperor ascended the throne, his first imperial decree abolished the lowly status imposed on merchants.
Su Nian knelt to receive the decree, tears streaming down her face.
The orphaned girl who had once eaten wild greens on a mountain finally became a shining future for herself and all the people of the realm.
