My Mother Is Raising an Army

When my mother raises an army, I handle logistics;

when she fights, I farm;

when she becomes emperor, I become crown princess;

a mother and daughter united can make even the throne theirs.

I transmigrated. My father lost his bid for the throne, was stripped of his status and reduced to a commoner, and our whole family was exiled to the borderlands.

After half a year on the road, we finally arrived, only for my father to die. Then cavalry from the grasslands invaded. The officials fled at the first sign of trouble, abandoning the city's people, old and young, along with the remaining soldiers.

Xiao Sanniang: Don't panic. I am the daughter of the Great General Who Guards the West. I went to battle at thirteen and beheaded an enemy commander at fifteen. Everyone, take up your shields, raise your blades, draw your bows, drive back the invaders, and defend the city, our families, and our cattle and sheep.

As we fought the cavalry from the grasslands, we acquired horses, then cavalry, and our ranks grew. Then we ran short of food.

Xiao Yan: Don't panic. Mother, you just focus on fighting. I'll clear the land, grow the grain, and make the weapons.

The emperor died, the realm descended into chaos, and rebellions erupted everywhere.

Xiao Yan: Mother, we have strong troops, fine horses, money, and grain. How about starting a rebellion of our own?

Xiao Sanniang: Then let's start one.

Xiao Sanniang: Daughter of a military family → Princess Consort of Zhao → Exile → Hero who repelled the enemy → Warlord ruling her own territory → Rebel leader → King of Sheng → Founding Emperor of the Great Sheng Dynasty. I was born in the far northwest, married into the capital, exiled to the far north, then fought my way back to the capital, from the capital to the south, and from the south to the west. My greatest achievement? Of course, it's my daughter.

The chancellor asks: Your Majesty, whom do you intend to name as heir?

Xiao Sanniang: That's the wrong question. You should ask when my daughter is going to ascend the throne.

Opening this as a pre-release. I'll write this after finishing "Demoness, Draw Your Sword!"
