Making a Living in Ancient Times

One day, a pocket dimension dropped into her lap. A month later, she'd be transmigrating.

Wen Zhi: Buy, buy, buy! I need everything. I'll farm, build a fortune, and reach the top!

More than ten years later, Wen Zhi, who is terrible at palace intrigue, has managed to get the empress on her side.

The imperial concubines: She actually curries favor with the empress! How shameless!

Wen Zhi: I wanted to follow a farming storyline. Why did I end up in a palace-intrigue one?

Using the knowledge in her pocket dimension to secure advantages for herself, she somehow turns the story into a pseudo-cultivation tale.

The emperor: Fine, fine. If you think you can do better, then go ahead.

Wen Zhi: I must have transmigrated into a fake ancient world. Where are all the veiled threats, schemes, and frame-ups I was promised?

From the inner household to the imperial court, Wen Zhi works hard and fights for what she wants, ultimately taking her fate into her own hands and rising to the top.

Enter with caution if you need a morally pure romance! The male lead isn't a virgin! The heroine isn't his only woman! This isn't a romance. Please treat it as a no-CP, golden-finger power fantasy with no need to think!

In response to my lovely readers' requests, I'll try to post two chapters every Monday and Thursday from now on, at eight in the morning and six in the evening, barring unforeseen circumstances. Also, I'm working hard to build up a stockpile for my new novel, The Noble Houses' Beloved Couple. Please add it to your wish list!

So, apparently this novel is going into reverse chronological order on June 23, which should be a Saturday. The chapters moving behind the paywall will be 24 through 35. This hopelessly inexperienced author is about to cry over how hopelessly clueless she is.

If you've already read those chapters, please don't buy them again! I'll post three chapters when it goes premium.
