An alternate future + divine right of kings + nation-building + Fourth Calamity
Su Xianyu ascends the throne and becomes the powerless emperor of Lin.
Just as she's preparing to flee, the nation's luck takes the form of a chubby-cheeked, baby-faced toddler, who sneaks out and says it needs to be fed the nation's fortune to grow tall and strong. A nation-building System also appears and urges her to set a lofty goal: “Five years of construction, three years to prosperity.”
To raise the little one better, Su Xianyu slaps the dragon throne and decides to work herself to the bone.

Su Xianyu sharpens her scythe and goes after the weeds. When her back aches and her body is sore, she remembers her powerful cheat: the StarNet.
In this era of interstellar integration, all you have to do is dare to ask, and every need can be met.
All she wants is to free up her hands, and suddenly she has a versatile gardening robot from a technological civilization, a magical scythe from a magical civilization, and a vast selection of land-clearing tools from civilizations at every level of development.
Su Xianyu empties the state treasury, forms a land-clearing team, and takes the first step in building her nation.
At last, The Other Shore, hailed as a groundbreaking full-dive game, drops onto the StarNet homepage as a pinned ad, attracting the attention of countless StarNet users.
Players selected one in ten thousand excitedly flood into The Other Shore, only to find there's no beginner's village, no tutorial NPC, and no map. From the start, they can only wander around blindly, while furious players square off against the developers online.
Su Xianyu, who moonlights as a game planner, smiles with menacing kindness and grants them the “Game Developer's Goodwill” buff.
A lucky player is suddenly rammed out of the beginner's village by a wild boar, beginning an entirely different gaming experience.
She completes quests to raise the little one, while the players complete quests to build the nation. They all have a bright future ahead √
