Qi Shuhua graduated from an agricultural university, but couldn't find work in her field, so she ended up stuck at home.
She helped her farmer parents work the fields, and then one day opened and closed her eyes to find herself transmigrated as Yin Zhen's principal consort, the fourth prince of the Kangxi Emperor's Qing Dynasty. She was also the future Empress Xiaojingxian, Ulanara Shuhua, and had a “Farming System.”
Looking at the dazzling variety of seeds and tools in the System's shop, Shuhua could hardly contain herself.
If she could take all these things home, she'd be rich!
System: I have a way to get you home.
Shuhua: What way?
System: ...
Shuhua: Can I take these things back with me?
System: ...
Shuhua: Say something!
System: ...
Shuhua: Are you mute?
System: This feature will unlock after an upgrade.
Shuhua: ...
Upgrading required farming, so Ulanara Shuhua started cultivating the land in her own backyard.
Until...
Yin Zhen: Where did these rice seeds with such big, plump grains come from?
Shuhua: I saved them myself. (They came with the starter pack.)
Yin Zhen: Where did this incredibly effective fertilizer come from?
Shuhua: I made it myself. (I bought it in the System's shop.)
Yin Zhen: Where did this huge greenhouse and all the strange things inside it come from? Don't tell me you built it yourself.
Shuhua: Uh... I got someone to do it? (The System directed them.)
Yin Zhen: ...
From then on, fields of green turned golden.
Yin Zhen's perspective
For thousands of years, food has been the people's first priority, and agriculture the foundation of the nation.
Yet for all those millennia, no dynasty ever truly brought peace and prosperity to its people.
That is, until I met Shuhua.
The superior seeds she developed could ensure that no one in the land would ever starve again. The techniques she offered could bring peace and stability to the realm.
And yet, when her work was done, she brushed off her sleeves and vanished without a trace.
Even after becoming empress, she still bent over the fields, hoping only to harvest one more shi of grain.
I, Yin Zhen, have never admired anyone. But when I look at Shuhua, I can't help but admire her from the bottom of my heart.
But one day, she must leave. Can I make her stay?
