About this novel

In a daze, Su Ruojin underwent a transmigration into the body of the eldest daughter of an eighth-rank Doctor of the Imperial Academy in Bianjing City, the capital of the Great Yin Dynasty. She watched as her mother gave birth to a younger brother and then another, seeing their small civil servant household go from living frugally to borrowing money just to survive day by day.Show more

At six years old, the little head of the household had to stand on a small stool just to reach the stove. Eating one meal while worrying about the next—how was she supposed to live? No need to fear... no need to fear... Living in the super-metropolis of Bianjing, a city of prosperity and developed commerce, and arriving with the delicacies of a thousand years in the future—could she really starve to death? Impossible... absolutely impossible... The Imperial Academy, the Three Provinces, the Five 감독 (Supervisory Directorates), and the Nine Ministries—this was a gathering place for civil servants. Who wouldn't need breakfast? Then she would start with breakfast stalls: deep-fried dough sticks and sesame cakes paired with soy milk, or sesame balls and eight-treasure porridge. Still think her variety is lacking? Jianbing guozi, soup dumplings, pan-fried tofu pudding, pocket pancakes, and mutton soaked bread... searching for cotton, finding silk... oil mills, wine shops, grocery stores... suppressing riots and catching bandits... The money was endless... there was simply no end to it... With a pot in her left hand and a spatula in her right, she embraced the most vibrant colors of worldly life. To the super-prosperous Great Capital, this little lady is coming!
