Yang Xiang transmigrated.
And she transmigrated with her in-game body.
Before transmigrating, she had been fighting the opposing team. Then, in an instant, she was sent to a strange otherworld.
Her game character was a powerful female warrior who loved swinging a hammer: tall and shapely, with well-proportioned muscles and bronze skin, the very picture of a domineering, mature beauty.
She landed in a chaotic, lawless Warring States era, with no clothes and no money. Luckily, she had loved helping her grandmother make all kinds of pickles since she was a child.
She made several huge vats of pickles and set up a stall by the roadside. Their tangy, spicy aroma won over the people in no time, and the money rolled in.

One day, Yang Xiang was humming as she sold pickles, just like usual, when enemy soldiers charged in and overturned her stall!
Fury surged through Yang Xiang. She swung her giant hammer and single-handedly drove the enemy soldiers back.
Later, a great person summoned her and asked her to become a general and serve in the army.
Yang Xiang said she wanted to sell pickles. Selling pickles was her life's passion. The great person promised to hire someone to watch her stall and tried to tempt her with a hefty sum of money.
Yang Xiang figured she could take an assignment away from home, earn some money, then come back and sell pickles, so she enlisted.
The first thing she did after meeting her fellow soldiers was offer them the pickles she'd brought along.
As her comrades chewed the pickles with looks of bliss, she smiled amiably and opened her money pouch. "Fifty coins per catty. Thank you for your patronage."
Her comrades all froze, one thought passing through their minds: They'd heard this god of slaughter made her living selling pickles. So it was true.

1. This is a fictionalized setting based on the Eastern Zhou states, not the historical Warring States period. In this story, the Zhou dynasty lasted for 1,500 years.
2. Parallel universe! Parallel universe! Parallel universe!
3. Lots of original worldbuilding! Lots of original worldbuilding!
4. A chaotic mash-up of the Eastern Zhou states, not following the historical order of events. For example, Yue took 12 years to conquer Wu in history, but in this story it happens much faster. Twelve years is simply too long a time span, so just enjoy it as a playful take on history!
