Other people transmigrate with a System, a pocket dimension, and stockpiles. Su Xiaoli transmigrates with an entire ocean.
Exiled to Youming Island, with her father kidnapped, her mother gravely wounded, and no food or water, she crouched by the rocks as a little crab with a broken claw raised its only pincer and called her its king.
Blue crabs were the vanguard, sea turtles became warships, octopuses served as scouts, and even lobsters could march sideways into battle.
Everyone laughed at her for playing house on a desert island, until three official ships bore down on the island and set it ablaze with fire oil.
She plunged into the deep sea. A silver-blue tail broke the surface, and the whole ocean made way for her.
"This ocean is mine. Now, get out."
They thought she was a mermaid who had gained magical powers.
Wrong.
She was the queen this ocean had been waiting a thousand years for.
