The On-Screen Comments Teach Me to Become a Queen (Nation-Building)

Jiang Zhen was raised by a wealthy merchant family to be a bride sacrificed to the River God. Two days before the sacrifice, an extraordinary stranger arrived in the village, someone who knew everything from astronomy to geography. This was an even better sacrifice than Jiang Zhen, so, after being tricked and coaxed, the stranger was sacrificed to the River God along with her. After Jiang Zhen saved herself, she tried to rescue the stranger too, but all she managed to grab was a beam of light. From then on, a transparent bullet-screen panel appeared before her. [Huh, the livestream System fell into a native's hands? The transmigrator in this world is so useless. They only survived two days. Still, livestreaming the lives of ancient people sounds pretty fun.] [This little girl has never survived in the wild before. She can't even find her way. Just follow the river and you'll find a village.] Jiang Zhen: I was just sitting down for a rest. Who said I couldn't find my way? And I'm a transmigrator too, okay? After resting on a rock for a few minutes, Jiang Zhen glanced at the bullet screen and started walking along the river. Her expression and actions gave her away, and the bullet screen instantly erupted. [This ancient person can see the comments. Looks like the livestream System must be bound to them. Wow, big news!] Just before nightfall, she finally spotted cooking smoke. But before she could enter the village, she fainted by the riverbank from exhaustion. When she woke up, the first thing she saw was the transparent panel before her, covered from top to bottom with messages: [Pretend you've lost your memory] [Hurry up and pretend you've lost your memory] [We know you can see the comments. Just pretend you've lost your memory] [The beautiful woman who saved you used to be a maid to the King of Jiang. Her daughter died, and she wants someone to pass off as her daughter.] [You'll be pretending to be a princess, too. I hear princesses had high status during the ancient kingdoms' wars. It's a bargain you can't pass up.] Jiang Zhen dutifully pretended to have lost her memory. Just like that, she went from an orphan to the princess of Jiang, and its only child. On her first day back in the capital, the King of Jiang introduced her to his ministers. They all chattered away until he was so angry he nearly spat blood. [Hurry, draw your sword and stab that old man. He's the one talking the most.] Jiang Zhen: ??? Are these interstellar commenters a little too reckless? [We're not lying. It's recorded in the history books. On the first day the princess of Jiang returned, she stabbed an important minister with her sword. The King of Jiang wasn't angry at all. He even praised his child for having the bearing of a ruler.] Well, they studied different versions of history. Jiang Zhen did as they said, and promptly received two chests of gold, silver, and jewels. On her second day back at the palace, Jiang Zhen's cousin came to pick a fight with her. [Ignore him. He's a little good-for-nothing. We can start by figuring out how to make paper.] [Right, and soap and glass! Let's get the basic infrastructure going first.] [I heard the King of Jiang only has six or seven years left. Little Jiang Zhen, you'd better hurry up and take the throne. We've already made a promise on your behalf: if you don't unite the kingdoms and expand overseas before you die, we'll lose face.] Jiang Zhen: This is the first time I've felt like uniting the world is so easy. Reader's Guide: This story has a massive golden finger. The broad setting is the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, but my setting is very loose, and the plot takes priority over logic. The romance is in the background. Also, the official version is only on Jinjiang. The author is not responsible for pirated copies. Thank you! Theme: Build your own country
