I Built the World's First City

Currently wrapping up the ending. I'm a little stuck, so updates are irregular. Please add my upcoming novel to your reading list: "(1950s) After Waking Up as the Villainess, I Spend Money Like Water in Hong Kong." Visit my author page to see the blurb! Xi Wanning was born into an aristocratic family whose history stretched back hundreds of years. Countless members of her clan had been ennobled or appointed to high office, and she was the sole direct heir of her generation. Even amid the turmoil of the 1950s, she enjoyed a life of luxury beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Yet she fell for a poor young man from a fishing village. For him, she turned against her parents and let all her family's resources slip away, becoming so obsessed she was unrecognizable as the Xi family's jewel. All because she was a supporting female character in a male-oriented novel. Her family's wealth, her beauty, her personality, everything about her existed solely for the male lead. Whenever he needed something, she was expected to give it all up for him. In the original story, once her resources had been drained, she would die taking a bullet for the male lead. But one day, she suddenly woke up. After learning that her life had been scripted for her, Xi Wanning sneered and tore the book to shreds. Go to hell! She would be the one to rule her own life. Who did some lousy book think it was, trying to control her? Looking at the scumbag before her, she slapped him without hesitation and tore up his boat ticket to Hong Kong. She had no intention of wasting words on him. The gap between them was so vast, she could take him out with a flick of her wrist. She urged her parents to go to Hong Kong. There, she built factories, opened mines, and bought land, all while making money and using her resources to support her homeland's development. That was the path she chose for herself! P.S.: 1. I'm not rich, so my vision of an affluent lifestyle may be limited. 2. This is a fictional world, not entirely equivalent to reality. 3. A light, feel-good novel. Please be kind if it's not your thing. Blurb: Wen Qingqing, who was terrible at games, found the game of her dreams: "Dream o Town." She played day and night, pushing herself to the limit. At last, she reached level 100, then everything went black and she fainted. Luckily, a friend arrived in time and got her to the hospital, saving her from becoming a headline. When she got home and settled down to admire her beloved "Dream o Town," she discovered the game had been upgraded, and its app had moved into her brain. [Host, greetings.

Here, you can build the world's first city.] [Claim your starter gift pack: 100,000 plots of land, each 1 mu; one elegant little villa.] For Wen Qingqing, who loved management and building games most of all, this was like gold raining down from the sky! It was land! A hundred thousand mu of it! Wen Qingqing sharpened her tools and set to work on the land, beginning her journey to build the "World's First City." ** The livestreaming world gained a lifestyle blogger. No big deal. But when this blogger's daily routine involved building a farm one day and a zoo the next, that was big news! Wen Qingqing introduced her stream: My livestream is mainly about daily life at my rural farm. Welcome, everyone! Her viewers: Give us a break! What kind of rural farm has a zoo, and even keeps giant pandas? If you've got something that good, share it with us! From an obscure newcomer to a sensation known across the globe, Wen Qingqing was simply tending her 100,000 mu of land, one step at a time. At first, she did it for fun. Later, it became her responsibility. Let this place of hers become a paradise on Earth in the twenty-first century! All names and places in this story are fictional, and the setting is imaginary. Any resemblance is purely coincidental. My next upcoming novel: "An Only Daughter's Carefree Life in the 1970s" Jiang Xiyue was reborn, returning to the year she was sixteen. Looking back on her previous life, Jiang Xiyue could only describe it as a complete mess. She was an only child. Both her parents had steady jobs, her grandfather was a housing bureau official, and her grandmother worked for a performing arts troupe. Even in the impoverished 1970s, her life could be called privileged. That good family and comfortable life had spoiled her, leaving her foolish and unable to judge people. At nineteen, she got into university. But after listening to a classmate who claimed doing business offered better prospects, she resolutely applied to drop out and went into business. Her first venture was in food. She'd grown up without ever lifting a finger in the kitchen. Her cooking was edible, but not tasty, and the business failed. Her second venture was selling clothes. She came from a comfortable family and had seen plenty of fashionable styles. Her outfits were well received, and she finally made some money. But when she decided to expand her stock, someone jealous of her set fire to it all. The goods were gone, and the money she'd earned went up in flames too. After two business failures in a row, she lost heart. She had already dropped out of school and had nowhere to go, so she stayed home. Later, when a matchmaker came by, she simply found someone and got married. He had seemed like an honest man, but after they married, she couldn't have children, so he found someone else. Her parents heard about it and came over to confront him, only to discover that he was the one who was incapable. After the divorce, Jiang Xiyue couldn't bear the neighborhood gossip, so she went far away to the northwest to teach in a rural area. Looking back on her life, every decision she'd made had been wrong. Now that Heaven had given her the chance to start over, she absolutely wouldn't waste it! She would get into a better university, find a better job, earn more money, and sleep with the best man! She would live more brilliantly than anyone, and make everyone envy her parents! Theme: With enough effort, even an iron rod can be ground into a needle
