In the fourteenth year of the Daqi era, rivers overflowed, war dragged on, and blades clashed across the land.
Lin Yun transmigrated into the body of a peasant girl in the countryside. Her father had died years ago, and her brother, who had joined the army, was nowhere to be found. The only family she had left was her half-blind widowed mother.
With her skill at identifying medicinal herbs and a Water-Control System bound to her, Lin Yun held her precarious family together as a woman, put the village bully in his place, built waterworks, and expanded her business empire.
All she wanted was to work hard and make money. She never expected to meet a certain God of War regent who had fallen on hard times in the countryside, much less be recruited as an advisor in his tent.
To change the course of a chaotic age, Lin Yun devised strategies to repel the enemy on the battlefield, then reclaimed wasteland and controlled floods when the fighting was over. At last, the nation prospered, its people lived in peace, and the realm was united. Lin Yun planned to retire after accomplishing all that and continue as the richest merchant in the land. But the man who had become emperor stopped her with ease, his dark eyes fixed on her. "There is still one person missing by my side. Would you give yourself to me?"
"What kind of person?"
"My beloved."
Yan Chishen vowed to become a man who ruled the world and wielded supreme power.
