Late Ming Dynasty / Farming in the early chapters, infrastructure building in the later chapters / Career-driven heroine
1.
After transmigrating into an ancient village, Xie Fangcao pretends to be a sweet, helpless little white lotus. Just when she's finally grown up, she overhears her paternal grandmother planning to sell her to a human trafficker for eight taels of silver.
A wicked granny, a blindly obedient father, a mother who only knows how to cry when things go wrong, and a grandfather who favors boys over girls. Xie Fangcao, a human resources director who worked herself and her entire company to the bone in her previous life, looks at the family and smiles. "Great. I'll take this challenge."
#A shaman trafficking girls? I'll send her straight to jail!
#My granny keeps stirring up trouble? I'll make her a laughingstock in the whole village!
#Girls aren't allowed to go to school? I'll pose as a child prodigy and genius. I'm going to that private school!
#We're so poor we can't afford a single new outfit? I'll make traditional handicrafts, grow crops, and start a business!

Xie Fangcao thought she'd already won this round, but fate sprang a huge surprise on her: she'd transmigrated to the late Ming Dynasty?!
Drought, taxes, war, conscription... one disaster after another came crashing down.
In the tenth year of Chongzhen's reign, locusts swept through the land, leaving no crops to grow. Xiaoji Village became a wasteland, with only the old, the sick, the disabled, and the girls abandoned to die left behind!
"Fangcao, we girls just want a safe place to shelter. We just want to support ourselves. We just want to live with dignity."
No money! No power! No soldiers! In this brutal world, it was harder than reaching the heavens for a woman to survive!
How could Xie Fangcao stand by and watch these women suffer? Let's see whether this world will make room for us women to live!

#On the night bound feet are wrapped around their necks, literacy classes kindle bonfires like little stars
#When the men fall one after another along the road to escape famine, the women build the first granary
Later, the New Women's Newspaper spreads across thirteen provinces, and women artisans graduate from trade schools.
In the stories passed around among the noblewomen of the capital, the heroine always wears a crane-feather cloak and carries a jade ruler
just like Xie, the head of the academy, who built a women's school amid the chaos of war.
"The world slanders me, bullies me, humiliates me. So what?"
The woman in blue smashes the ancestral hall's plaque beneath her feet. Behind her, countless women raise their sleeves like clouds:
"We'll tear down their temples, flip their chessboard, and let heaven and earth bear witness, "
"We were always the wildfire, the sweetgrass that cannot be broken!"
