Synopsis

For the story after the unification of the Six Kingdoms: I've opened pre-registration for Poverty Alleviation Cadre Builds Great Qin. Feel free to follow it.

This book should end with the unification of the Six Kingdoms. I'll cover the full story of Great Qin in this one.

Unable to find her way back and with no way to leave, she had no choice but to lead the primitive village in building roads, farming, and laying the foundations for development.

Strong Female Leads

Absolutely female-led! I only read works where the narrative focus is on women. I'm not interested in men's stories, and only accept men as supportive, stay-at-home husbands in the background.
