   ## *The Farmer's Beloved Little Lucky Charm is a Koi Fish*: Who says lucky stars can't be girls? Little Haitang, pampered by her entire family, proves with her own strength that "favoring girls over boys" is the true meaning of good fortune! When Zhou Yuanzheng is ambushed on the battlefield, she, pregnant, rides a horse to deliver supplies; when his political schemes are thwarted, she casually points and unearths a gold mine. The whole world sighs: "The hegemon of Chen Kingdom doesn't rely on soldiers; he clearly married a little lucky charm with boundless fortune!" From the farm's beloved daughter to the founding empress, she smiles with delight: "Lucky for her husband? No, he's lucky for me!" Zhou Yuanzheng, a man who slays gods and Buddhas throughout his life, gives all his tenderness to her: "I'll offer you the world as my dowry, only asking to share a bed in life and a grave in death." The most sophisticated political maneuvering in the world is when a lucky girl turns adversity into opportunity and chaos into sweet romance—after all, in a family that dotes on its daughter, even the heavens are feeding her!

Transmigrated into a fake imperial tutor, but managed to fool the real emperor into becoming crippled!] Synopsis of a Farming + Time Travel + Comedy Story: Modern office worker Qi Mo transmigrates into the body of a poor scholar. To save his life, he uses his knowledge of history from Douyin (TikTok) to impersonate a "reclusive imperial tutor," thus beginning his crazy antics under the Empress's nose—arguing with Confucian masters in court, running an economics mini-lecture in a brothel, turning corrupt officials' ledgers into practice questions for "Three Years of Simulation, Five Years of Corruption"...
