After Pampering My Beautiful, Powerful, Tragic Ancestor, This Couch Potato Has to Work Hard to Win

She might look delicate, but she was sharp and fierce. She was intermittently lazy, and if she couldn’t win a fight, she’d launch a sneak attack. If that failed, she’d tell on them. No matter who she ran into or what trouble came her way, she never let herself be the one to lose out. One day, a rich classmate locked her in a cold-storage room and bullied her. Her ancestral jade pendant began to glow and heat up. It could not only let her and her ancestors send supplies to each other, but also let living people travel back and forth. Trading goods between past and present could make her rich fast, but the antiques from the Jingkang era came with some seriously harsh penalties. Three years minimum, meals and lodging included. She quickly found a different approach. She collected leftover food from the cafeteria, traded in near-expiry groceries, and bought up scrap yards, turning scrap metal into something useful. She helped her ancestor earn merit, defend the country, and drive out the enemy. She arranged for disabled soldiers to learn traditional crafts, helped widows sell their embroidery, and funded war orphans so they could study science and culture. Building waterworks, digging canals, forging sharp blades, building city walls, making fertilizer, and stockpiling grain… She rebuilt the backbone of the Song Dynasty and became a national treasure.
