I Sparked a Retro Craze Across the Stars

Jiang Pan transmigrates from ancient times straight into the interstellar age.

From the start, she finds herself on a barren garbage planet, the only human on the entire world.

Jiang Pan: No matter how hard things get, I have to keep trying. I’ll make sure I survive, and do my best to maintain a decent quality of life!

She scavenges through the trash for useful resources and outsmarts the animals on the garbage planet. While figuring out how to keep herself fed, she also uses salvaged fabric to make herself several beautiful outfits. Seeds are too precious to waste, so she finds a place to plant them!

The interstellar viewers watching it all through the livestream: "Wow~"

At first, Jiang Pan couldn’t care less about the tips from her livestream viewers. That is, until she realized how important money was.

Jiang Pan: "...There’s no way I’m selling my watermelons. I don’t even have enough for myself. Let’s auction off the seeds instead!"

Later, to develop the garbage planet, Jiang Pan enrolls in the Federal Military Academy and competes in the Interstellar Military Academy Tournament.

At the tournament, everyone is stunned to discover that she is the long-missing marshal of the Empire.

The imperial prince asks her with red-rimmed eyes: "Do you still remember me?"

The Federation’s future commander shields her, his gaze sharp: "She’s a senior cultural consultant for the Federation, and she’s with me."

All the viewers watching the drama unfold: "Wow!!!"

Jiang Pan: "Uh, sorry to interrupt with an ad. The only planet in the entire interstellar world with a purely ancient Huaxia aesthetic welcomes you! You can buy beautiful traditional outfits made by yours truly, and enjoy all sorts of exclusive delicacies, too."

One more thing.

Wake up! The insectoid tide is coming!!!

Reader’s guide:

2. The main setting features the Empire and the Federation, two opposing powers that coexist. The insectoids are just insectoids, the kind that can be beaten up.

3. There are mechs, companions, competitions, world-building, and farming. Ahem, it’s a bit of a mixed bag...

4. The heroine is the strongest, and ends up number one in the entire interstellar world. There is romance, but no melodrama.

Blurb for The Max-Level Expert Only Wants to Retire:

The female marshal of the Empire, Jiang Pan, has 3S-level mental strength. One day, she transmigrates into the body of a lonely young girl in an ancient village.

The girl is also named Jiang Pan. Her only family, her grandmother, has just passed away, and her relatives are already fighting over the two plots of land and the ramshackle house she left behind.

They even want to marry sixteen-year-old Jiang Pan off to a forty-year-old cripple in the neighboring village to collect the bride price.

After a lifetime of military service, Jiang Pan is already sick of fighting. As it happens, she wants a different kind of life.

I’m keeping the land and the house. I’m going to retire and farm.

At first, the villagers all wait to see her make a fool of herself. She’s just a little girl, spoiled by her grandmother as she grew up. She can’t survive on her own, and won’t last a month before giving in.

Later, the villagers wonder: How did she grow potatoes that big? How did she build such a beautiful house? Where did she find such a handsome husband who’s also a wonderful cook?

Not only does she build a thriving life that everyone envies, she also saves the lives of the entire village and leaves behind a new legend in this world.

Jiang Pan: ...I only wanted to retire.

System No. 1437 is a farming System. To keep its ranking from dropping any further, it diligently searches for Hosts and guides them in farming to earn points.

But this Host is a little strange...

Hiding deep in Jiang Pan’s mind, No. 1437 says, "Ahem. Anyway, you have to listen to me. You have to do whatever I tell you, or else..."

Jiang Pan, who easily locates 1437 with her mental strength, raises her gun and sneers. "Or else what?"

1437 sees Jiang Pan standing in front of it, her mental strength made corporeal, and immediately drops to its knees in a perfectly executed surrender. "Boss, I was wrong! As long as it doesn’t break the rules, I’ll do whatever you tell me!"
