[A tale of conquest and nation-building, set in an alternate world inspired by the late Han dynasty]
Xie Zhao, a veteran of the Federation who died in battle, spent ten years farming in the middle of nowhere in Ox-Horse Village. She'd already accepted the fact that she'd transmigrated from the interstellar age to ancient times.
Then one day, a group of glittering people descended from the heavens and called out for her. They said she was a long-lost prince, and that her parents, brothers, and sisters were all gathered at their ancestral graves. They urgently needed her to return and inherit the throne.
Xie Zhao was dumbfounded and pointed at herself.
"Me?"
"Yes, yes, you!"
The visitors wept and pleaded, saying that if Xie Zhao didn't return, no one would govern the vast nation, and countless treasures would be plundered.
With an excited heart and trembling hands, Xie Zhao took her ten copper coins and followed the envoy to the capital.
But...
Looking at a country that had been blown apart like popcorn, with a treasury marked as being in the red, Xie Zhao fell into deep thought and immediately declared she was quitting.
What vast territory? What countless treasures?
Brother, you're in deficit. You can't even afford a pair of pants, and you've got less than the ten copper coins I brought with me.
When they heard that their only heir didn't want the job, the entire court fell to its knees, wailing like something out of a level-ten horror movie. Xie Zhao was speechless.
Then one day, Xie Zhao suddenly realized...
That young master of the Shen family, rumored to be cursed with ill fortune, was exceptionally easy on the eyes...
So she sighed and rubbed her forehead. "I never meant to ascend the throne, but Your Highness is just so..." Beautiful.
Xie Zhao waved a hand and pointed to the countless territories on the map, making her declaration:
"We will wage war on the Northern Desert Kingdom!"
"We will wage war on the Eastern Jin Kingdom!"
"We will wage war on the Changzhe Kingdom!"
Back when she was farming, she'd thought the neighbors were rolling in wealth. Now she finally had the chance to fleece them!
P.S. SC, HE, the male lead doesn't get much page time.
