Synopsis

Three years of drought have left the land strewn with corpses. Lin Wanqing, a modern expert in both agricultural science and combat, transmigrates into the body of a widow who starved to death in ancient times, with four burdensome children thrown in for good measure.

The eldest is a reborn young marquis, already a schemer at eight, armed with memories of his past life and determined to expose corrupt officials. The second was born with the ability to read minds, so the schemes of their awful relatives are an open book to her. The third is a killing machine from the apocalypse, able to carve through a bandit stronghold alone with just a blade. The fourth is blessed with incredible luck: even a dried goji berry tossed at random can uncover a secret passage from a former dynasty.

Awful relatives come to steal their food? The eldest makes a plan, the second reads their minds, the third dislocates their arms with her bare hands, and the fourth “happens” to attract the attention of the local constables. When the eldest aunt kneels and begs for mercy, Lin Wanqing plants a foot on her face. “You think you’re fit to eat food that belongs to me?”

Corrupt officials come knocking one after another? The eldest submits a petition, the second reads their minds in public, the third intimidates the bailiffs, and the fourth “accidentally” smashes the official seal, revealing a ledger of embezzled funds. Prefect Zhao collapses on the ground, and Lin Wanqing plants a foot on the desk. “Someone like you has no right to judge me.”

They clear land and farm, dig canals and divert water, establish a village and its rules, promote education and train troops... From growing leafy greens in winter in greenhouse gardens heated by hot springs to mass-producing standardized crossbows on an assembly line; from laying out grid-pattern streets with biogas streetlights to carving “All who belong to Fulin are equal” onto a stone pillar of laws, Lin Wanqing and her four maxed-out children build a modern city-state far ahead of its time on the ruins of the ancient world.

No romance, everyone’s focused on getting things done, and every face-slapping comes the very same day. The self-righteous don’t last three chapters. The rules of Lin Wanqing are the rules.
