[Alternate History] [Raising Children] [Building Wealth] [Face-Slapping and Revenge] [Heartwarming] [Duty to Country and People] [System] [Slight Ensemble Cast]
Sheng Mingshu is stabbed to death on the spot at the provincial awards ceremony for outstanding kindergarten directors by a former preschool teacher she had fired for abusing and emotionally neglecting children!
When she opens her eyes again, she has become a pitiful young woman in a border county of an alternate dynasty. After her engagement is broken off, she jumps into a river, unable to bear the humiliation. Because she can read and write, the county's foundling home makes an exception and hires her as its administrator.
In her darkest hour, she binds herself to the Orphanage System.
Sheng Mingshu asks, "Raise orphans?"
"What a coincidence. That's exactly my specialty!"
An orphanage isn't so different from a kindergarten. Children are innocent, and every one of them is a flower of the motherland.
She earned the title of outstanding provincial kindergarten director at a young age in her previous life, and it certainly wasn't luck.
Now, with the System backing her, she can handle this with ease.
Near the northeastern border, a place of exile, there are displaced orphans, abandoned children of noble families, and descendants of ministers wrongly put to death.
The children everyone else avoids are full of potential in Sheng Mingshu's eyes, and she takes them all in.
Others say a woman shouldn't aspire to official rank. She refuses to accept her fate and, undeterred by pressure, nurtures the overlooked young people around her.
Years later, those same orphaned children, once left destitute and subjected to every humiliation, pass the imperial examinations one by one and enter government, becoming rising stars at court!
Accusations of women meddling in politics rain down on her. The imperial family grows wary, while powerful clans and nobles try to control her through marriage.
What a joke. Before threatening her, they should take a look at the court.
Every rising star at court calls her "Mother"!
Her confidence comes from the half of the court's civil and military officials, wealthy merchants, and master artisans she raised up herself!
With the strength of the young, she brings peace to the people and stability to the realm!
Being young has nothing to do with gender!
