[Fluffy Inner Thoughts] [Farming] [Frontier Development] [Pocket General Store] [Sweet Romance] [Mutual Devotion]
Song Shiwei transmigrates into the crown prince's selection ceremony for a consort in the Great Yan Kingdom.
In the original story, she and the crown prince were childhood sweethearts, deeply in love and the clear favorite to become crown princess in the eyes of all.
But during the final selection, the crown prince betrayed her, broke his promise, and chose someone else as his principal consort. He even sweet-talked her into becoming a concubine, all to gain the support of her family. Once he ascended the throne, the first thing he did was order the execution of her entire clan!
Her family was wiped out, not a single person survived!
Song Shiwei cried out, "How is this transmigration? It's practically a setup!"
So when the crown prince approached her, she made a snap decision and refused the marriage.
To avoid earning the crown prince's resentment, getting entangled in the struggle, and meeting a tragic end,
she even asked the emperor to arrange a marriage for her, so she could marry into the borderlands and leave the capital behind.
Everyone thought Song Shiwei was foolish and ungrateful.
She had a chance to marry into the exalted Eastern Palace, yet she was desperate to head to the borderlands and marry a disgraced general who had been demoted. She was just asking for trouble!
The crown prince declared, "You'll regret this sooner or later. You'll come back crying and begging me."

Xiao Wangchuan was falsely accused and demoted to the borderlands. After enduring every hardship, he had seen the true warmth and coldness of human nature.
Then one day, he was suddenly granted a wife.
At first sight, he thought she was delicate and weak, unable to withstand the harsh winds and sand of the frontier.
But Xiao Wangchuan's expectations were overturned again and again.
Her hands could barely lift a hoe, yet she made food grow from barren land, food that could save lives.
Her shoulders could hardly bear a burden, yet she fed tens of thousands of soldiers and common folk.
The frontier, once utterly barren, became a thriving paradise.

Song Shiwei: "I only wanted to farm. How did I end up raising a regent?"
