Blue Bull

Pei Qin, upon transmigration, was instantaneously drenched in a basin of misery.
The Scholar father was murdered on his way to the exams, and eldest uncle Jian Shen had two households.
There was a son from the second wife, but neither grandparents nor villagers liked him, and he was also a thorn in the side of eldest aunt.
Valuing sons over daughters, they wanted to sell her to buy land.
Malnourished and poorly clad, her mother and siblings toiled like beasts of burden.
Before she could strive for a better life, that already deceased Scholar father came back to life.
He'd married a rich man's daughter? Sired two sons?
Life was so hard, yet it drove his wife to her death.
Pei Qin looked at her emaciated younger siblings, her hands trembling: To the mountains!!
————————
Lived in caves, built a hut, ate wild vegetables, gathered wild fruits.
In poverty-stricken days, Pei Qin led her siblings to quietly amass wealth and silently prosper.
Just as they were about to thrive, another wave of misfortune was thrown their way!
Pei Qin with hands on hips: If you want to play the scoundrel, I'll make sure you're reduced to nothing!

The Eldest Daughter of a Rural Family

"Death penalty might be spared, but the living penalty is hard to escape! Even the women who were deceived by her will hate her to death, seeking revenge!" Qian Wanxiu gnashed her teeth in anger, determined to thoroughly investigate the matter at hand.


Pei Qin didn't seek any rewards this time; she simply requested to resign her post. With Mo Heng working for The Imperial Court, that was enough. She wouldn't abandon the Manufacturing Bureau either, and would continue to oversee the production of firearms and invent new types of weapons.


"Emperor! A full moon wanes, water overflows when it's too full, and extremes lead to rebellion... Uh... did I use the wrong metaphor? Anyway, just let me resign! Otherwise, one day someone might take a dislike to me, pin a capital crime on me, and then where would I stand—dead or alive!?"


Emperor Yongle frowned, "The Imperial Court can't do without you now, and as long as I am here, who would dare sentence you to death?!"
