Also known as "I Rescued the Young Master from Peril"
(Ancient and modern worlds connected + exile + infrastructure development)
Xia Ning, a 21st-century novelist, discovered something incredible one day.
The porcelain basin in her home had come to life!
It could connect to another time and space. Even more amazingly, no matter how big or small an object was, anything placed on the basin could be transported to the other world.
And so, Xia Ning gained a pen pal from ancient times.
White jade? A ruby the size of an egg? Boxes and boxes of gold ingots?
Xia Ning's eyes widened. What should she do now that she'd gotten rich overnight?
Obviously, go on a wild shopping spree!
And as she kept receiving things, Xia Ning even received an ancient boyfriend.

Eastern Chu, the eighteenth year of Jiaming.
The most talked-about topic in the capital was undoubtedly the Protector General's residence. The Song men were brave and skilled in battle, and for generations they had joined the army. Yet the second young master of the household was a brilliant talent, as handsome as Song Yu, and at only seventeen, he had entered the Hanlin Academy as the top scholar.
But all the family's glory came to an end when the Song clan was exiled to a desolate land on charges of treason and selling out their country.
On the road to exile, the other convicts were cold and hungry, living miserable lives.
The Song family, meanwhile, wore warm clothes, ate beef rice balls, and even had afternoon tea and snacks from time to time. They were absolutely delighted.
What was there to fear about a desolate land?
They had their little fairy Ning Ning.
And so, buildings rose one after another from the barren land: a food-processing plant, a textile mill, a furniture factory, a paper mill...
The age of light industry had begun!
