Wu Zhaodi is a PhD in agricultural water and soil engineering. She has devoted her life to reclaiming wasteland and building infrastructure for people's livelihoods, but unexpectedly transmigrates into a book and becomes Wu Zhaodi, a short-lived cannon-fodder character fleeing famine at the end of the Great Jing dynasty.
This is a chaotic era in which the Heavenly Dao favors hypocritical, supposedly chosen protagonists. Three years of drought have scorched the land for thousands of miles. Fires of war rage, millions of refugees wander, and corpses litter the ground. The human world has become a living hell.
The original Wu Zhaodi's family was once made up of small landowners. After her father died when she was ten, her biased grandmother took control of the household and treated the mother and her three daughters as burdens she could exploit for free. They could scrape by in years of plenty, but in a time of natural disaster and chaos, the clan's true nature was laid bare.
At the brink of death, the [Eternal Territory System] binds itself to her!
As a Host with a perfect compatibility rating, Wu Zhaodi unlocks a life-giving spirit spring, fast-growing seeds, infrastructure blueprints, and miraculous medicines for preventing epidemics from the start. While others chew tree bark, drink foul water, and suffer from disease, she uses her expertise and top-tier System to survive against all odds and put down roots as she reclaims the wasteland.
Her ungrateful clansmen want to exploit her and cling to her success, while her awful ex-husband wants to come back and reap the rewards? She knows right from wrong, refuses to be a pushover, and settles every score before driving them all away!
The original novel's chosen imperial prince and saintess female lead covet her achievements and power, hoping to steal the fruits of her labor under the guise of benevolence.
Wu Zhaodi tears apart their false destiny with her own hands. She ensures people's livelihoods through farming and infrastructure, and quells the chaos with sheer strength. In the end, she builds a thousand-mile city-state, protects tens of millions of people, and becomes the one uncrowned ruler who alone can save the people of this chaotic era!
