[Historical Crossover] Forging an Age of Prosperity, Starting in the Zhenguan Era

Wang Lingzhao transmigrated.

Her cheap uncle found her in the desert, and the moment she set foot in the Central Plains, she threw both arms in the air and declared her goal in life:

"I'll work hard to make the Great Sui flourish!"

She didn't remember history. All she knew was that this new dynasty needed to be rebuilt from the ground up, and she had a head full of modern knowledge. It would be a waste of the heavens' gift of transmigration if she didn't put some of it to use.

Heaven smiled on her. Before long, she met Li Yuan, a member of the imperial family who was utterly loyal to the Great Sui.

He was kind and humble, diligent in government and devoted to the people. His eyes lit up whenever he talked about governing the country, and he threw his full support behind every proposal she made.

Wang Lingzhao was deeply moved. This was what a like-minded comrade was supposed to be!

Li Yuan had been troubled lately.

All he wanted was to quietly keep a low profile as a member of the imperial family and observe the situation in the realm from the sidelines.

He never expected a young girl to show up out of nowhere and drag him into projects like "promoting improved crops," "water conservancy," "salt fields," and "a training program for the garrison troops"...

Every one of her proposals hit the mark and kept him up at night.

Whose side was this girl on? Was she really that clueless, or was she pretending? Did she realize that if these measures were implemented, the person who would benefit most... was him, Li Yuan?

The two hit it off and worked hand in hand. Under their efforts, the Great Sui flourished.

But the good times didn't last.

A new emperor ascended the throne. Forced labor grew heavier, and the people could barely make a living.

Wang Lingzhao watched everything she'd helped build with her own hands get ruined beyond recognition. She was furious and helpless.

She went to Li Yuan to discuss it. "We can't go on like this. We have to find a way to..."

Li Yuan gazed at her solemnly, waiting for her to finish.

She chose her words carefully, wondering how to gently suggest "replacing the emperor."

What she didn't know was...

Li Yuan had been waiting a long time to hear those words.
