(Farming + post-apocalyptic queen + punishing scumbags + wish fulfillment + talent scouting)
Lou Qingchen, a talent-scouting queen who once ruled the post-apocalyptic world, transmigrates into the body of the most inconspicuous of the four fools in the impoverished Lou family of a rural village!
From the start, a village bully tries to force a marriage. Faced with the Lou siblings, trembling and barely able to stand up for themselves, she thinks, Damn it, I can't keep pretending to be a fool!
Not only is she gifted with special abilities and a knack for taking down scumbags, but she also uses hypnosis to leave all sorts of petty villains reeling. As she builds the family's fortune and leads them to prosperity, the post-apocalyptic queen returns to her old trade and raises the Lou siblings into pillars of the nation:
The timid eldest Lou daughter becomes the proprietress of a trading house, wealthy beyond measure.
The outgoing second Lou daughter becomes a culinary genius whose skills astonish everyone, earning her a place as the greatest chef in the world.
The simple-minded third Lou child eventually becomes a great general who defends the nation and its borders.
The taciturn fifth Lou child wins top honors in the imperial examination and becomes the top scholar.
…Even the timid, unambitious Lou matriarch becomes a first-rank noblewoman, welcomed into the halls of power.
But why does the prince she once saved in his hour of need still cling to her, his gaze burning like that of a wolf that can never be sated?
