I Somehow Became the Founding Empress

--- Blurb ---

Su Wenjun realizes she has transmigrated.

The good news: this world doesn't have strange creatures that can kill you at any moment.

The bad news: she's become a peasant girl living in a remote mountain village on the frontier, in an unknown dynasty in another world.

Her mother is timid, her father is a mama's boy, her eldest sister was sent to the city to work as a servant, and her second sister and she are so skinny they look like monkeys. Even the family dog is all skin and bones.

Faced with such a disastrous start, Su Wenjun can only fight back.

Without a good family background, is it easy to get bullied when you go out into the world?

No worries. You can give yourself whatever status you want.

So she builds an estate in the mountains, gives herself the title of "Young Sect Master," and takes in a group of people fleeing the ravages of war.

Before long, there are too many people to fit in the mountains.

To give them a stable place to live, she has no choice but to expand their territory. Before she knows it, she has become the founding empress.

PS: The female lead isn't lovesick.

The story starts off a little slow, but later she gets fierce and ruthless.

After healing her injured demonic soul, Li Xingwei plans to travel with Chen Xuanyue to see the "modern world Jiang Jinyu talked about." But while transmigrating through time and space, she gets hit by an unknown object. When her senses return, she finds her demonic soul inhabiting the body of a widow from a farming family. An unknown object calling itself the "Merit System" has also appeared in her mind, and Chen Xuanyue is nowhere to be found.

The widow is not only sharp-tongued and unpleasant, but also a bully in Songyang Brigade. Whenever someone in the village crosses her, she takes her four children and sits outside their house, crying and making a scene until they pay her compensation.

Faced with four human children gathered by the bed, numbered one, two, three, and four...

Li Xingwei: ????

As she stands there in a daze, the thing in her mind called the "Merit System" speaks up.

System: If you raise the children the original owner left behind, you can exchange merit for news about the person you love.

Li Xingwei: No need. Xuanyue and I formed a Heart-Linking Curse. I can find him myself through it.

System: Merit points can also be converted into the demonic power you need. The more merit points you have, the more demonic power you can convert.

Li Xingwei (confidently): I don't need that. I am already the strongest in the Demon Realm.

System (in a very certain tone): You do need it. Don't believe me? Feel for yourself.

Li Xingwei checks the demonic power in her body and discovers there's barely any left. In a chilly voice, she says: Why didn't you say so sooner?
