[The darkest days of the late Ming] [A space-time black market] [Ensemble cast of extraordinary women] [Ming Dynasty hidden gems] [Industrial development] [Star forts and cannons] [Steam-powered ships]
Li Mumei is an ordinary woman who transmigrates to the late Ming, an era at its darkest.
Outside the realm, the Qing, seemingly blessed by Heaven, are advancing through the passes. Within it, desperate peasant armies are swept up in revolt.
Worse still, drought, locust plagues, epidemics, and other disasters, both natural and man-made, repeatedly ravage the Ming during the Little Ice Age.
How will she, the heroic women around her, and the long-suffering people of the Ming survive with their dignity intact?
Can they go further still and save the Chongzhen court, on the verge of collapse?
Fortunately, she possesses a [Space-Time Black Market Panel], which lets her trade all kinds of resources with other apocalyptic and chaotic eras. She also has a general grasp of late Ming history, giving her the confidence to take on the darkest days of the dynasty!
She will build up the land and develop infrastructure and military industry, including roads, railways, star forts, airships, and steam-powered ships.
Sweet potatoes, potatoes, and black-market supplies will help stave off famine; modern antibiotics and other medicines will combat epidemics and plague.
Caltrops combined with cannon wagons and star forts will make her defenses invincible.
Mosin-Nagants and artillery will sweep away the peasant armies and the Qing.
Steam-powered ironclads will command the rivers and seas.
Future gene-enhancement drugs and scrapped mechs will make her forces descend like gods, while devotion to their country will inspire soldiers and civilians to follow them with unwavering loyalty.
She has come to reclaim a shattered realm, and from now on, barbarians from across the seas will kneel before China!
