Jiang Yuan transmigrated as the second daughter of a peasant family in ancient times. Not long after arriving, she found herself facing a mountain of family debt, an injured father, and a debt of three taels of silver for medical expenses that had been paid by putting her up as collateral. If she couldn't repay it in three months, she'd be forced to marry a sickly man on the verge of death to bring him good fortune.
Jiang Yuan: I'm tearing my hair out...
With no other choice, she returned to her old profession as an agricultural researcher: farming. Ancient tools were primitive, planting techniques were underdeveloped, and people were entirely at the mercy of the weather. She had planned to use modern agricultural knowledge to build a fortune, but reality dealt her a harsh blow. Resources were scarce and her family was poor. She was full of theories, but had no means to put them into practice.
Then she discovered that she'd been bound to a Farming System.
[Use science to advance agriculture and bring prosperity and abundant grain to the people. Cultivate 0.33 mu of land to gain 1 Farming Point. You haven't met the draw requirement. Keep it up!]
Overjoyed at getting a cheat, Jiang Yuan experimented repeatedly and discovered that the Farming System let her earn Farming Points by farming, and that she could use those points to draw cards.
Nanyou No. 2, China's first male-sterile line of indica rice; Weiliangyou 8612, a super hybrid rice that yields over a thousand kilograms per mu; Zhonghuang 35, a high-yield, high-oil soybean variety; Xiangzamian No. 7; Zhongshu No. 2; and many more... She could draw them all!
With the System at her side, Jiang Yuan buys fertile fields, grows rice, improves farming tools, builds agricultural research bases, and writes farming guides. Step by step, she becomes a renowned grain merchant across Jiangsu and Zhejiang. She has houses, money, and a fortune to her name, and is enjoying boundless wealth when her mother threatens to take her own life unless Jiang Yuan gets married.
Unable to bear the harassment any longer, Jiang Yuan announces that she's looking for a live-in son-in-law!
But can someone explain why, after just one night, the crowds of eager suitors have nearly trampled her doorstep flat?
Have people really gotten this eager to live off a woman's fortune these days?
