The Village Head's Self-Cultivation

80% anti-piracy threshold, with a 48-hour lockout. Thanks for your support, darlings! Blurb: Before transmigrating, Ge Ge loved playing all kinds of city-building and strategy games. In the games, she built international metropolises, married a tall, rich, and handsome man (not really), and rose to the top of the world. After transmigrating, Ge Ge took over as village head. With just one tael, four qian, and seven fen to her name, she led a village of forty-six households full of the old, the weak, women, and children. Every day brought gossip between neighbors, people to discipline, money to earn, and a giant tiger to catch. From the start, it felt like the game was heading straight for its end. Fortunately, she was randomly given a "Tremble, Ancients!" golden finger System when she transmigrated. With her golden finger to back her up, Ge Ge, a darling with a seventh-degree rank in sanda, became a cool-headed Chun-Li. One punch, one tree. As long as she punched fast enough, there wasn't a villager she couldn't beat into submission. Thanks to her outstanding personal charm (not really), Ge Ge made a name for herself beyond Huadong Village, earning fame throughout the town, the city, and eventually the whole nation. She even received the highest honor, when the emperor himself declared, "The foremost village head in Daye, a model for educating women among the people." Years later, Huadong Village had become Huadong County. When the county records were preparing a biography of Daye's first female village head, the villagers finally learned that the secrets to a village head's self-cultivation were a cold heart, a ruthless hand, and a need to save face! Coming next: the historical transmigration farming story "After Transmigrating, I Must Support Fourteen Mothers." Blurb: Blurb One: Gu Yao, a modern office drone, worked overtime for a whole month straight, then dropped dead and transmigrated. She became Gu Yueyao, the eldest daughter of a wealthy landowner in Ding'an County, Huaizhou Prefecture, Yuanjia. Her father, the rich landlord Gu, had taken thirteen concubines, but in the end it was the first madam, an older woman who'd conceived against all odds, who gave birth to his one and only child. Unfortunately, Gu Yao hadn't arrived at a good time. She showed up just as Gu, the wealthy landowner, breathed his last, leaving the first madam and his thirteen delicate concubines to be thrown out of their home by a bully who'd seized the Gu family's property. The original owner's bright pearl had fallen into the dust. After a serious illness, someone else had taken her place. Sitting on a wooden bed that creaked from the woodworm damage, gazing at the various beauties crowding half the room and sobbing uncontrollably, Gu Yueyao decided she could still turn things around. After all, all those years as an office drone hadn't been for nothing! Blurb Two: The fourteen women of the Gu household, newly widowed, noticed that ever since their daughter, their eldest girl, had been seriously ill, her brain seemed to have burned out. The evidence was as follows: Before, the sight of a tiny bug was enough to make the eldest girl lose her composure. The day before yesterday, she calmly swung a broom and beat a huge rat to death! Before, the eldest girl ate no more than a little bird. Yesterday, she grabbed a big bowl and wolfed down a whole bowl of coarse-grain rice! Before, people always fooled the eldest girl, and she never fooled anyone. Today, she managed to squeeze a huge sum of money out of her former fiancé and her former close friend, who'd become her sworn enemy! And she even had the nerve to call it compensation for her lost youth? The eldest girl had changed so much that her fourteen mothers thought she was possessed. They nervously prepared to ask a master to exorcise her. After the exorcism, the eldest girl, shrouded in smoke, let out a world-weary puff and said, "I guess this is just the inevitable path from being a little cotton-padded jacket to becoming a military greatcoat..." The mothers were pleased: "It's good that she's grown up! She knows how to behave!" But why did growing up mean she wanted them to entertain clients? And why did she want them to remarry?! Wasn't she the one who'd said, 'In life, you'll belong to the Gu family; in death, you'll be its ghost'? No, they wouldn't marry again! Much later, Gu Yueyao had become Yuanjia's most famous female tycoon. In an interview with a small Beijing newspaper, she reminisced about her fourteen mothers, who'd once cried so hard: "I owe it all to the encouragement and support of my fourteen mothers, and the devoted love of my thirteen live-in sons-in-law."
