The physical book has been published. Shen Tang wakes up on her way to exile and discovers that this world is very unscientific. A divine stone fell from the sky, sparking a war among a hundred nations. Words that capture the heart, words that speak become truth. With martial prowess and courage, they can cleave mountains and sever seas. The pretty boy she thought he was, with a single word, "wielding a spear and leaping on horseback," instantly donned armor, spear in hand, becoming an army in one, capable of charging in and out of thousands of troops seven times over! In her eyes, the consumptive demon chanted "scattered like stars in a chessboard," describing the sky as a round canopy and the land as a chessboard, arranging troops and formations with ease! This can't even be considered unscientific! It's clear that science has been nailed to the ground by theology! And she— "My lord, there is a severe drought in the northern region. Why don't you have a good cry?" Shen Tang: "..." "My lord, the southern region is flooded. Why don't you laugh more?" Shen Tang: "..." Looking at the ten bowls of rice she had devoured, her pockets emptied of water, and a group of hungry, ill-intentioned villagers who were always causing trouble, the village chief Shen Tang, who seemed to be a reincarnation of a glutton and a true soul painter, had no choice but to give up his beloved paintbrush and was forced to embark on the path of applying for a position as a feudal lord.

She experienced the Battle of Changping, witnessing the massacre of hundreds of thousands. She led the Qin cavalry, vying for supremacy with the six other states. She saw the world divided into three, the land shattered. She also heard the lingering melodies of the Longzhong Qin. She reveled in the prosperous Zhenguan era, but how did that legendary empress live her life? She rode in fine clothes and spirited horses, and also wore a feather fan and a silk turban. She was a farmer and a teacher. Yet, no one knows that such a person lived for two thousand years. Well, this is a relatively light and leisurely historical novel. Due to personal reasons, it may not be entirely historically accurate or withstand rigorous scrutiny. But I will try my best to research all the relevant materials. This is my first time writing this kind of story, and I hope it will be interesting, haha. Finally, be warned, this is a single-player story.
