Main story complete. Extras updated according to the rankings.
Lin Si transmigrates into a book and becomes one of the male lead's harem members in a story about vying for supremacy, as well as the only surviving member of the Lin royal family from the previous dynasty.
Her role later on is even more pitiful, and she dies miserable and disillusioned.
Fortunately, Lin Si is only ten years old now. After the Imperial Astronomical Bureau predicts that her destiny clashes with the royal family, she is made a county princess and sent to a remote fief.
Lin Si is still wondering how to stay alive and keep away from the male lead, when four enormous words suddenly appear in her mind: Infrastructure System.
Lin Si: This is great! We have a golden finger, we're saved!

Ten years later, at the end of the Lin dynasty, the people are suffering terribly, driven from their homes and wandering the land.
At some point, a rumor starts spreading among the refugees: There is a place called Li County where people can eat their fill, get medical care, and find work. It's like a hidden paradise, and people flock there in droves.
The surviving officials, who managed to avoid being slaughtered by the male lead, also band together and seek refuge with Lin Si. They soon realize they have fallen behind the times.
What's cement? What's cotton? Why doesn't this pork smell gamey? It's delicious! And what is this newspaper? It's so fascinating.
Ahem, that's not why we're here. We nearly forgot the real reason.
"County Princess, please ascend the throne, punish the traitors, and restore order!"
The officials kneel as one, weeping as they beg Lin Si to inherit the rightful throne.
Lin Si protests with great difficulty: "You... What are you doing? What are you doing! Who put this dragon robe on me? Aren't you trying to get me killed?"
[Content warnings]
* The female lead has an extremely powerful golden finger.
* Very little romance.
* An alternate world with a mountain of original worldbuilding.
* A lighthearted infrastructure-building story.
* The female lead isn't an unambiguously good person. Among other things, she may persecute supporting characters to achieve her goals.
Coming soon: I'm Bringing 5G Coverage to the Cultivation World
Jiang Xixue, a lazy office worker, suddenly drops dead and transmigrates into a book as a cannon-fodder character responsible for imprisoning and torturing the villain.
She also gets bound to a System. The System is new to the job and cuts straight to the point.
"You. Cannon fodder. Torture the villain and make him wish he were dead. Got it?"
When she finds the villain, Shen Liuquan, in the underground palace, the youth in bloodstained white robes looks at her as if she's already dead. The future villain, who will become invincible and cut down the Three Realms with his sword, is currently like a cold piece of jade drenched in rain.
Jiang Xixue takes him back and carefully nurses him back to health, then tells him:
"I'm Jiang Xixue, and I'm here to enslave you. I order you to make cola, Wi-Fi, cell phones, games, the internet, short videos, and forums. Make my dreams of a lazy, decadent life come true!"
"You'll work around the clock, seven days a week. You have to come whenever I call, and I'll pay you once every three years!"
Jiang Xixue: These impossible tasks and endless overtime are sure to destroy his mental and physical health and make him wish he were dead!
Shen Liuquan: ?
Fine.

Three years later.
The Demon Realm has achieved full 5G coverage, and cultivators in the cultivation world are addicted to "Demon Realm Pinduoduo's Slash-a-Yuan Deal."
Disciples from cultivation sects post on the Demon Realm's forums every day: [Could people who name their swords "After Sneaking a Peek at My Master's Bath" have some shame?]
[The Hehuan Sect has successfully reinvented itself. The sect leader's livestream sales bring in tens of thousands of spirit stones a day.]
[The hottest new side gig for sword cultivators: Delivering takeout by flying sword. Always on time, 100% positive reviews!]
And Jiang Xixue finally gets to live the carefree life of a lazy immortal she'd always dreamed of.
Until one day, she suddenly remembers: Wait, it's been three years. I have to send him away!
So she pretends to be upset and says to Shen Liuquan, "I've treated you terribly these past three years, haven't I? You must hate me for ruining your mental and physical health. I'll let you leave the Demon Realm now and go do what you're supposed to do."
But Shen Liuquan doesn't leave. Instead, he leans in close, his long fingers resting against her waist.
"Young Lord, the work isn't finished yet."
Jiang Xixue: Dude, aren't you the ruthless villain who follows the path of the heartless sword? And what work is left? You've practically given the entire cultivation world 5G coverage already.
#Don't come any closer! A wage slave can't fall in love with an exploitative boss!#
#What should I do if the wage slave I exploited mercilessly fell in love with me? Asking for a friend, urgent.#

Ah, can there be an epitaph for Liang Nian?
