Yan Huan was exploring a legacy site when she died. She opened her eyes to find herself a blond country girl in ancient times. Her figure was gone, but at least she still had her original face.
Her demonic spiritual power was gone, too. She nearly passed out on the spot. She had become a delicate female side character who couldn't lift a burden or carry a basket, spoiled into arrogance by her awful parents.
Why wasn't she a villainess? Well, it all goes back to a male-oriented novel about a hero competing for supremacy during a chaotic era of famine. She and her useless cousin were both part of his harem.
The joy of having a woman for each arm? Two beautiful sisters? Not a chance. She'd be the one to enjoy that!
Her golden finger, a National Fortune Point Allocation System, arrived late and slow. It asked her to listen to who she was. But she's just a country girl, so what national fortune could she possibly have anything to do with?
Just as Yan Huan got her bearings, she learned that the locust plague had passed and a drought was on its way.
The Yan family had no choice but to follow a whole village of people and flee their home.
Fighting over supplies, hunger, brawls, slaughter... Bandit raids, military unrest, floods, blizzards, fierce winds: disasters came one after another.
At least she had stat points for her physical constitution, a backpack space, and low-level magic. Otherwise, she really wouldn't have made it out of that bloody escape route.
Load up on the bandits' food! Load up on the horse bandits' silver! Load up on the traitors' storerooms! Even the imperial soldiers' weapons are fair game!
If she doesn't take it all, how will she get rich and build up her starting capital?
Unfortunately, the male lead seems pretty useless. The people she meets are always very different from the characters in the novel.
Pei Yun, the cool and elegant princess of the Prince of Zhenbei, who guards the frontier. She's one of the male lead's official consorts, but by a twist of fate, he doesn't rescue her. Yan Huan does.
Who doesn't like a beautiful woman? Yan Huan certainly does, and she's happy to have a brief affair with Pei Yun.
They both agreed that after their encounter, they'd go their separate ways and act like strangers if they met again.
But someone gripped her chin, teeth clenched, her phoenix eyes overflowing with anger and hurt.
"I'm not enough for you? Why do you still have to pursue someone else, Yan Huan? Do you have no heart?"
Yan Huan's long, slender fingernail traced her stormy features as she asked with a smile, "We got together by chance, enjoyed one night of pleasure, then went our separate ways. Wasn't that our agreement?"
"Princess, a promise is a promise."
Pei Yun caught her wrist, her fingertips stroking Yan Huan's cheek. Her voice was hoarse. "Yan Huan, I regret it."
"Oh!" Yan Huan couldn't care less. She was busy paying attention to all kinds of pretty young women.
The next day, Yan Huan was listless, red marks like plum blossoms scattered over her collarbone, and her waist ached. Was Pei Yun a dog or something? She needed a hug from a gentle beauty to recover.
"I'm all you need, aren't I, A-Huan?" Pei Yun murmured.
Yan Huan didn't want to talk. Couldn't she just focus on governing? She really had no time for romance. There were wars to fight, cities to build, and an industrial production line to set up. She was busy!
