The Little Farm Girl Flees Famine, Feeding Her Family Hearty Meals

Ying Qingci transmigrated into the body of a young farm girl from Yingjia Village, caught in the midst of a desperate flight from famine. Her family was out of food and ammunition, then bandits struck, leaving them homeless and scattered. Ying Qingci rolled up her sleeves. If life was hard, she’d find a way to make it better. After all, she possessed a vital essence that could bring all things back to life! She gathered wild fruit and brewed wine, made tofu, opened an embroidery shop, and took on apprentices. Life grew better by the day, and she grew more beautiful, too.

Rumors spread through the capital that the emperor’s eldest son had fallen for a lowborn farm girl, doting on her as if she were the apple of his eye. Everyone laughed and dismissed the tale as nonsense. Then, at the capital’s poetry gathering, a farm girl completed an unmatched couplet. At the Empress Dowager’s birthday banquet, she presented an exquisite double-sided, multicolored embroidery that stunned the entire Da Ling. At the assembly of ten thousand nations, she amazed the crowd with her skills and won three cities from a neighboring kingdom.

The neighboring prince said, “Your nation is rich in talent. This humble prince has fallen for the young lady at first sight.”

The elegant prince said, “What are you looking at? She’s my wife!”
