By a Twist of Fate, I Really Became a God

Shen Tianqing transmigrated into the body of an orphan girl in an ancient mountain village. All she wanted was to quietly work on modern agriculture and retire in seclusion.

That is, until she saw villagers about to drown a young girl. Without thinking, she blurted out, "It'll rain at a quarter past noon. Sacrificing the child won't help!"

The rain arrived right on time.

She sighed in relief and was about to slip away when everyone knelt before her in terror, shouting:

"The Dragon Goddess has manifested!"

Shen Tianqing: "...No, I just checked the weather forecast."

What she never expected was that this misunderstanding would never be cleared up.

In a world ravaged by war, countless people were buffeted by fate, yet they always seemed to encounter a solitary "mountain girl" when lost and desperate.

Pei Zhao, the orphaned son of a general, took her advice and escaped a landslide. From then on, he regarded her as divine guidance and raised an army to wage war.

An heir wrongfully convicted and exiled received a sack of grain seeds from her. They yielded a thousand catties per mu, letting him defy fate and change his life.

A frail genius, despairing of everything, received a rare medicinal herb from her. His chronic illness vanished, and his future brightened once more.

They piously spread the word: There is a dragon god in the mountains, who takes the form of a young woman, bestows blessings, and enlightens the people.

Shen Tianqing, who had inexplicably had a temple built for her and was receiving offerings, looked at the statue's face, which looked about eighty percent like hers. "...If I say it's all a coincidence, will you believe me?"

Later, the rebel general swept through the land, and unifying the realm seemed imminent.

But Shen Tianqing discovered that something else seemed to be sleeping in the divine temple within her sea of consciousness, a temple unlocked by people's faith.

The founding emperor, who always gazed at her with the deepest affection, took her hand atop Mount Tai.

"They say you're a god. But I know you can feel pain, too."

"If this world needs a deity, it can only be you."
