In the Year of Famine, I Sustain Millions of Ancient People with a Single Bowl
[Exiled Prince vs. Radiant Fake Noble Daughter] [Connecting Ancient and Modern Times + Stockpiling During Famine + Infrastructure and Farming + Family Drama]
After being kicked out by her adoptive parents, Jiang Zhenyu accidentally discovers that her cat's bowl can connect to another world. Through this, she befriends an exiled prince from ancient times.
In the ancient world, a three-year drought has caused a severe famine, with rivers dried up and people starving. The exiled prince, framed by treacherous officials, is banished to the barren north with his clan. On their journey, they face severe shortages of water, food, and medicine. The prince sends gold ingots to Jiang Zhenyu, requesting supplies. Jiang Zhenyu readily agrees, providing them with bread, dried meat, fruits, canned seafood, and mineral water. While others struggle to survive, the prince and his people enjoy abundant food and drink.
Facing drought, famine, plague, and earthquakes, Jiang Zhenyu helps the prince build irrigation systems, greenhouses, and develops agriculture and livestock. She provides medicine, aids in post-disaster reconstruction, and ensures the clan's survival.
With neighboring countries threatening war, Jiang Zhenyu prepares by stockpiling grain, fortifying defenses, and supplying weapons and resources. She even uses modern machinery to bolster their forces, driving the enemy away.
As the prince rises to power, noble families crumble, and seven nations unite under his rule. Officials and generals vie for his favor. Jiang Zhenyu's former fiancé regrets his past actions, and her adoptive family begs for forgiveness. She becomes a wealthy antique dealer, using her knowledge of ancient conveniences to restore artifacts and expand her mentor's legacy.
One day, the prince whispers in her ear, his voice hoarse, "Love me one more time."
