Exiled from the Start, the Black Lotus Overturns the Dynasty Through Farming

[A powerful partnership + System + farming and infrastructure + political intrigue + satisfying power fantasy] After transmigrating into the role of a vicious supporting female character, Shen Miao wakes up already on the road to exile. At long last, she binds herself to a System, only to find it’s a farming System with no offensive abilities whatsoever. Faced with the original heroine, who is eyeing her life, and the harsh conditions of the northern frontier, Shen Miao turns her attention to Xiao Lin, heir to the Marquis of Zhenbei. Perfect. I’m the villainess, you’re the antagonist. We’re made for each other. How about we... “Work together. I’ll make sure your army of a hundred thousand never runs short of provisions.” And so, high-yield wheat, soybeans, and cotton are grown in the bitterly cold, barren lands of Youzhou. Iron and coal are mined from the desolate plains. Crossbows and armor are improved, and even black powder is developed. Tall cannons rise above Youzhou’s city walls. Every household enjoys a bountiful harvest, with granaries packed full. Soldiers and civilians alike wear warm cotton clothes. The people of this remote border town find themselves living even more prosperously than those in Jiangnan. An enemy invasion? Perfect. We’ll take back the lands that once belonged to the Han people! The emperor is unjust? Shen Miao looks at the army of two hundred thousand behind her. How did this imperial robe end up on me by itself? Tyrannical rule and crushing taxes leave the people destitute. The Xiongnu invade from the north, and rebellions erupt everywhere. The age of chaos is upon us. Everyone, join me in battle!
