There are countless good women in the world: some excel at needlework, some are skilled at managing a household and cooking, and others are accomplished in virtue, appearance, speech, and needlework.
Years later, a busybody asks Lin Xiaoniang, now a first-rank lady: “What can you do?”
Lin Xiaoniang answers confidently: “I’ve got fists!”
Her long-suffering little son runs to his father, who has just returned from the government office, and sighs with practiced familiarity. “Dad, Mom just beat up the Duchess of Cheng'en again!”
P.S. This is the story of a female war goddess who transmigrates into the body of a farming family’s daughter, leads her family through a famine migration, builds their fortune, and supports her husband as he rises from humble beginnings through the imperial examinations to become a first-rank noblewoman.
