Stardew Valley, but in the Qin Empire

Ye Lingheng was an utterly ordinary office worker, living an utterly ordinary life: working, sleeping, and playing games.

Her greatest hobby was farming and making wine in Stardew Valley. Lately, though, the game seemed to be losing its appeal.

One utterly ordinary night, she downloaded a mod called "The Great Qin Empire." It set Stardew Valley during the Warring States period, and its sheer variety opened the eyes of this history-loving female farmer, bringing her back to her pastoral routine in 627.

Ye Lingheng farmed, raised cattle, brewed wine, and mined, pouring more and more hours into the game.

Then one day, this quest appeared in the notification bar:

[Our goal is the stars and the sea! Unlock the world map (0/1)]

Ye Lingheng: ?

In the fourteenth year of King Xiaocheng of Zhao, a strange woman moved to Handan, capital of Zhao.

She was a merchant whose business reached across all seven kingdoms, and she had amassed a fortune of more than ten thousand households;

She was an exceptional martial artist who had never lost a fight, even when wielding only a sword;

She was generous and charitable, always ready to help anyone in need;

She could brew the richest, sweetest wine, weave the softest, finest cloth, tailor the most exquisite, elegant garments, and grow the plumpest, most abundant fruits…

Back then, no one knew that she would bring countless new technologies, or that she would change the world…

Tips:

1. My writing isn't great, and some characters may differ from their traditional portrayals, so please go easy on me.

2. The heroine approaches things with a gamer's mindset and will sometimes do strange things. There will also be lots of everyday farming-game activities, so the timeline may not advance very quickly.

3. Games including, but not limited to, Zelda and Terraria will appear. You can think of them as being combined into a mod.
