Transmigrated into a famine-stricken year where corpses litter the land, and it’s hell from the start? Greedy brother and sister-in-law trying to steal grain and sell children? One swing of a stick sends them flying! Three adorable little ones starving? With the System on her side, they’ll have meat at every meal!
Rong Yin, a modern-day workaholic architect, transmigrates into the body of a timid village woman. Looking at the drafty shack and three little ones so hungry they’re skin and bones, she quietly opens the [Hardcore Construction Boss System]. Want to get rich? Build roads first. If anyone refuses to cooperate, she’ll fill their stomachs (by stuffing them into concrete pillars).
She heads into the hills to hunt and happens to find a badly injured, amnesiac hunk. Rong Yin points to ten mu of wasteland. “Want bone broth? Then plow the fields!” The murderous-looking man glances at her and obediently nods. “Okay.” Only later does Rong Yin learn that the laborer who helps care for the children every day and can lift a huge cauldron is the infamous tyrant, Yuchi Lie! And the old man who helps her keep accounts and track work points is the retired chancellor!
In this lawless, chaotic world, Rong Yin brings modern technology to bear in a crushing display of superiority. No water? Build a waterwheel! Need money? Make snowflake salt! Someone wants to steal grain? Sorry, ever heard of cement fortifications and matchlock guns?
She steals the tyrant’s army provisions, curses the chancellor’s stuffy old ways, and leads this group of bigwigs in building the Great Wilderness Corporation. The most outrageous part is that they all go along with it, gazing up at her and calling her Empress! Rong Yin: Thanks for the offer, but I just want to be a quiet construction boss. I might as well pacify the whole realm while I’m at it!
