A Science Student Reincarnates as Li Shimin's Sister

Two cries pierced the winter night at the martial arts residence, as a pair of twins came into the world.

Unfortunately, the baby girl was stillborn.

A year later, the baby girl, thought to be "mentally disabled," came back to life and finally understood the "words of the ancients" from a thousand years ago.

First: She is not entirely from the ancient past.

Second: She forgot to drink Meng Po's soup.

Finally: She is a modern science student.

In short, she became Li Shimin's nonexistent full-blooded younger sister, born of the same mother.

That's right. After learning that her biological brother was Li Shimin, her father was the Duke of Tang, Li Yuan, and her eldest brother was Li Jiancheng...

Li Zhaoxi got it...

She had transmigrated!

And to the end of the Sui Dynasty...

Why the end of the Sui Dynasty?

Because her father, Li Yuan, was still nervously serving under Emperor Yang of Sui, Yang Guang,

while her brother Li Shimin was still babbling alongside her.

A true science student, Li Zhaoxi, was utterly despairing.

Even a science student knows who was involved in the Xuanwu Gate Incident!

And by sheer coincidence, that person was right there drinking milk with her!

When she had tremulously made it to the age of fifteen,

Li Yuan was gathering troops in Taiyuan and preparing to rebel. To win over the Guanlong faction, he was going to marry her off!

Li Zhaoxi angrily flipped the table.

The Reign of Zhenguan may have been glorious for a thousand years, but beneath that golden age, aristocratic clans still monopolized the court and government posts.

The increasingly rampant concentration of land never changed.

The prosperity of the Tang Dynasty was built on the exploitation of the common people.

As Chairman Mao said: Ten thousand years is too long; seize the day.

Do what needs doing, and make your decisions without hesitation!

She had to learn from Nezha, and fast!

Li Zhaoxi: "Second Brother, don't hesitate. We should rebel against this empire! You rebel against the Sui, and I'll rebel against Dad."

Li Shimin: "Sister, how can you say such things?"

Li Zhaoxi's eyes shone as she spoke each word with conviction: "Take up your three-foot sword, sweep away the chaos, and usher in peace. I'll improve people's livelihoods, break the power of the aristocracy, and spread knowledge among the people! Even if Father becomes emperor, by rights the throne will go to Eldest Brother. I don't want to get married, and you want the throne. We're full siblings; we'll never betray each other. I'll provide the technology, and you provide the people. I'll never marry or have children, and I'll help you become emperor! Together, we'll overthrow those great clans that have been feeding off the state!"

Since the future Tang Dynasty could produce a Wu Zetian who overturned the established order, surely having more lifelong unmarried princesses wielding power wouldn't be all that outrageous?

She, Li Zhaoxi, would make the sun and moon shine on a new world!

Tubular firearms! Steel smelted with coal!

Schools for teaching literacy! Cultivating wasteland!

Become a princess?

Why settle for being a pampered noblewoman in fine clothes and rich food?

Get married?

Not in this lifetime.

To live is to do one thing: get to work!

1. The story will begin once it reaches 1,000 pre-orders.

2. No romance. The female lead won't be a princess, but a chancellor.

First, I really like Li Shimin. Second, the female lead could never become a feudal empress. An emperor has to weigh the pros and cons, but a chancellor whose own brother is emperor can just charge ahead.

3. An infrastructure-building story, opposing the great aristocratic clans.

4. I'll do my best to portray the Tang Dynasty beneath the great aristocratic clans.
