[Historical setting + confiscated household and exile + adorable child + soybean golden finger + rebellion + feel-good power fantasy + no saintly heroine]
When she opened her eyes, modern agricultural expert Gu Yunshu had become the three-year-old youngest daughter of the Gu family.
From the start, her entire household was condemned, and her whole clan was exiled to the freezing wastelands of the northern frontier!
While others wailed in despair, she calmly munched on soybeans. While others fainted from hunger by the roadside, she pulled a handful of soybeans from her pocket. Then the beans began growing like crazy.
A handful of soybeans could feed the entire exiled clan;
A handful of soybeans could grow into a granary in barren fields;
A handful of soybeans could take control of the northern frontier's entire food supply;
And a handful of soybeans would ultimately win her the whole realm.
The stern-faced deputy general escorting them watched with his own eyes as the little girl went from a deadweight in the exiled party to the northern frontier's goddess of grain and commerce, and finally to the person he would kneel before and call his lord.
Shen Yan: “I only wanted to make sure she reached the northern frontier safely.”
Gu Yunshu, three years old and speaking in a childish voice: “Uncle, Uncle, the beans have grown again. Help Ruoruo count them. Are they enough to trade for a city?”
Shen Yan: “Enough. Enough for ten cities. Enough for this entire realm.”
