Synopsis

Complete, with bonus chapters still updating... [Female-led power struggle] [A parallel world made up on the fly]

The fifth year of the Xiping era.

Yang Qiu was reborn as a child in a peasant family at the end of the Eastern Han dynasty.

Then she started gathering pigweed and raising pigs, working the fields and pulling weeds, pounding grain to remove the husks, hauling manure to fertilize the land...

If you’re asking about Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, Cao Cao, Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, and the rest...

They had nothing to do with her. There was endless farmwork to do, and she never got enough to eat.

You needed travel documents just to leave home, and everything cost money. They paid taxes all year round and could barely afford to eat. What did the famous Three Kingdoms figures have to do with her?

Better set a small goal first: eat your fill!

So Yang Qiu farmed, farmed, and farmed some more...

And then her miserable life began. No matter how much grain she grew, the landlords and powerful families would snatch it all away!

After watching the people in her village starve to death, and the people of her county die after being bullied and abused by officials,

she looked at her own small, frail body and this hopeless world.

Yang Qiu decided to rebel against the bastards!

Please note:

1. The author is making everything up. Just enjoy the story.

2. The author's IQ is average, so please don't be too harsh if the writing isn't great.

3. There is a golden finger, and it's a very, very powerful one.

4. I haven't thought of anything else yet. I'll add more if I do.

Theme: Stand on your own two feet and be self-reliant

Women-Centered Political Intrigue and Power Struggles

No CP or very little romance, with farming, infrastructure-building, political intrigue, and power struggles. No woman-on-woman rivalry or male gaze, and plenty of female characters. The logic holds together throughout, with few plot holes.

Infrastructure-Building Fiction

Kingdom-building stories, and I like ones that are satisfying and not frustrating. After all, reading is for relaxing. Updates are painfully slow, and it feels like there are so few good kingdom-building stories.

Three Kingdoms: Female-Led Stories

I've suddenly gotten really into these lately, so I'm making a list~ (There are so few novels told from a female protagonist's perspective during the Three Kingdoms era. A lot were written ages ago, and there are even fewer about fighting for supremacy.)
