Overnight, Mu Tingchun transmigrated into the daughter of a powerful canal gang leader. She learned that in the future, she would fail in her bid for power, suffer a leg injury that left her unable to walk properly, be married off by her stepmother to a useless husband, and die in misery amid the turmoil of war.
Mu Tingchun: ...I'm mad. Let's do this! Ladies, it's time to fight!
But with troubled times approaching, success would be difficult. Fortunately, she had a water conservancy System as her golden finger.
When people questioned her knowledge of shipping, she silently brought out her improved ship designs.
When they mocked her for being incapable of running a business, she sold off the cement, glass, and high-grade steel left over from shipbuilding and made a fortune.
As floods ravaged the land and the court and martial world were too busy looking after themselves, Mu Tingchun alone stepped forward to fight the floods and save people. She forced the authorities to stop releasing floodwaters and provide disaster relief, and she fought for the people's interests.
The people who had sneered at the new canal gang leader for being a woman clutched their stinging faces and wept with gratitude. "Chief Mu, can we still join the canal gang? We know we were wrong!"
Mu Tingchun sighed and shook her head. "You still don't get it. I'm rich enough to rival a nation, command tens of thousands of troops, and have the people's support, yet you won't even call me Your Majesty."
Theme: Stand on your own two feet and grow stronger
If the story has a particularly good setting, it would be best to give the heroine enough time to prepare.
