The bandits were already on their way. Lin Zhixia didn't want to be abused by the bandits, so she called on the whole village to pack up and head to an island to survive. They made salt, soap, and white sugar... Before they knew it, the whole village had escaped poverty. More and more refugees came to Lin Zhixia for help. They made glass, gunpowder, and warships... Before she knew it, she'd lifted everyone up. * Then she took in another group of soldiers. Lin Zhixia: "No, there are too many soldiers already. We can't take in any more." Later Lin Zhixia woke up in her dreams wearing the imperial robes, forced into rebellion. Thanks to her ability to understand animals, she accidentally became an empress. Lin Zhixia led tens of thousands of elite troops to lay siege to a city. The city lord threw open the gates and begged Lin Zhixia to absorb them into her ranks. It couldn't be helped.
