[Ancient Young General x Bai Fumei: Bridging Past and Present + Resource Stockpiling + Infrastructure + Famine]
Ye Mumu discovered that her family’s ancestral vase had mysteriously come to life, creating a connection to the world two thousand years ago. Through this mysterious vase, she befriended a young general from ancient times.
This general guarded a crucial border city, surrounded by a 300,000-strong barbarian army. A severe drought had struck the land, drying up riverbeds and decimating the population. Of the original 200,000 civilians, only 80,000 remained alive, the rest having perished from hunger.
Desperate and out of options, the general prayed to the gods for water and food, hoping to save his people from certain doom.
Ye Mumu waved her hand and granted his wish!
She stockpiled a large amount of supplies to feed the soldiers and civilians. Steamed buns, mantou, flower rolls, and roujiamo – she introduced a different modern delicacy each day, giving the ancient people a taste of modern cuisine.
Beyond food, she sent military manuals, stockpiled grain, aided in recruiting soldiers, and helped establish factories and arsenals – offering the ancient world a glimpse of modern military might and strategy.
When she was deceived and her inherited family business faced bankruptcy, the general, to repay her kindness, sent her large amounts of money, paintings, antiques, and priceless porcelain…
Using these valuable artifacts, she not only saved her family’s business but transformed it, becoming the wealthiest woman in the land and reaching the pinnacle of success!
Meanwhile, armed with the modern military equipment and knowledge provided by Ye Mumu, the young general defeated the barbarians, reclaimed the nine provinces, pacified the six kingdoms, and ultimately unified the entire realm.
He promised to build a temple in her honor, where she would be worshiped for generations to come.
Then…
The great general sent a marriage proposal letter:
「With the mountains and rivers as witness, I await the day when the seas are clear and the rivers are calm, when we can finally meet.」
Beneath the proposal letter lay a phoenix crown and bridal attire.
Ah, young general, so this was your plan all along!
…
T/N:
1: ‘白富美’ (Bái fùměi): white, rich and beautiful.
2: ‘when the seas are clear and the rivers are calm’ means that the world is in order, suggesting good governance and peaceful times.
