My General Store Connects Past and Present: The Prince I Raised Is Now Emperor

[Ancient and Modern Worlds Connected + Infrastructure and Farming + Sweet Romance] After her startup fails, Sang Jueqian inherits her grandfather's general store, only to discover that its window looks out onto the ancient past! On the first day of business, she opens the window and sees not the familiar moat, but a handsome prince with a deathly pale face. He tells her that Tingzhou has suffered three years of drought, countless people have starved to death, families have resorted to selling their children to buy food, and disease is rampant. He wants to buy water and food from her. Sang Jueqian spreads her arms. “Take whatever you like from the store! Great quality, low prices!” Sang Jueqian also teaches the prince how to build greenhouses, helps him buy solar panels, teaches him to dig deep wells for water, and gets him drought-resistant grain seeds... As Sang Jueqian becomes engrossed in her farming game brought to life, things gradually take an unexpected turn.

“Qianqian, vegetables have grown in the greenhouse you taught me to build. Will you try some?”

“Qianqian, the well you taught me to dig has brought up warm water. Will you give it a try?”

“Qianqian, the weapons built from your designs are ingenious and incredibly powerful. I've already used them to conquer the realm. Would you come and see?”

*My name is Li Junyan. In the spring of the thirtieth year of Wandao, I was exiled to Tingzhou. At the time, Tingzhou was in the midst of a three-year drought. Not a single crop had been harvested, and corpses littered the land. It was hell on earth. On the day I arrived in Tingzhou, I was sitting in a dilapidated, dusty study when a pair of fair, slender hands suddenly pushed open the window before me. They offered me clean, clear water, ending Tingzhou's drought and nourishing my withered heart. From that day on, I dug wells and farmed, stockpiled grain and recruited talent, raised troops and gathered horses, then returned to Chang'an and seized the throne. I would make the whole realm pay tribute, and welcome Qianqian to my side.*
