[Can't write anymore, taking a short break]
*Mainly set in ancient times
Jiang Yanning was adored from childhood. Pretty and clever, she was the most famous "perfect child" among the young ladies of the capital.
Then one day, she arrived in an unfamiliar world that left her bewildered:
Men no longer wore their hair long, women walked openly in the streets, and just about everyone received the respect they deserved.
At the same time, she discovered that she was living inside a transmigration romance novel. The hero pursued the heroine, who ran from him, while the hero's vicious first wife got in the way of their love.
Well, that vicious first wife was her.
The heroine had only just transmigrated, and this was the moment she was supposed to shine.
Jiang Yanning hadn't believed it, but after meeting the heroine, she realized it wasn't a dream.
First, she decided to use things she'd brought from the 21st century to win over the male lead, Xu Yuzhi, and make use of his connections and wealth.
Next, she'd persuade the heroine, Ruan Qingqing, to join her side. Together, they'd improve the technology.
After that, every ten days, she'd travel to the "21st century."
There, Jiang Yanning would bring ancient crafts and techniques to the modern world, setting off a wave of interest in traditional culture.
She'd also bring modern technology back and promote it with Ruan Qingqing, improving ordinary people's lives.
Years later, her modern-day career was thriving, while the era she lived in had been transformed beyond recognition.
Women who once had no books to read now wore scholars' robes and entered government service. A closer look revealed that they had all studied at the Jiang family's school.
After agricultural yields rose, the Jiang family's doorstep was nearly worn away by people coming to thank their lifesavers.
Carriages and horses passed along the road in front of the house, bringing rare goods from all over the country into ordinary people's homes. Everyone wanted to know who had accomplished such a feat. Before long, word spread that it was all thanks to the Jiang and Ruan young ladies.
The people of the capital marveled at who this Jiang young lady could be: she excelled at poetry, music, calligraphy, and painting, and was just as good at business and technological development.
Then one day, the first woman ever to become top scholar appeared out of nowhere and publicly thanked Jiang Yanning for her guidance.
At last, people realized that things had begun to change.
#People said that women appearing in public marked the worst of times.
But Jiang Yanning thought they were the best of times.
Everyone could grow in the sunlight and spend their youth as they pleased.#
