I Got Transmigrated, But I Became a Huge Joke

[Historical · Slice of Life · Comedy]

A non-mainstream Spring and Autumn Period founding-and-building novel with a power-struggle backdrop. Early on it is told from the perspective of commoners, focuses on farming, and has an extremely slow, everyday pace; the struggle for dominance comes later.

No CP. Female lead with brute strength and hands-on skills.

Jiang He transmigrates, and her starting identity is: a wild person. That is, one of the lowest commoners who farm for the ruler outside the towns and are not allowed to join the army or hold any political power, mocked by the nobles as "the people of the borderlands."

Most villagers in her village have no surnames and do not know who the ruler is, nor what the current reign title is. They only know their village is called Dong Village.

Jiang He is bewildered, but the family is penniless and the stomach is empty. They eat two meals a day, each a limited bowl of huogeng made from a large amount of bean leaves and a small amount of millet. It is the kind of food that feels no different from not eating at all.

To fill her stomach, she has no choice but to roll up her sleeves and work hard, asking only to eat her fill.

Next to Dong Village is Xi Village, where there is a beauty famous far and wide. People say that when she washes silk by the stream, the fish see her and immediately sink to the bottom.

When Jiang He hears that, she thinks: fish sink at the sight of a woman washing silk—then that must be Xi Shi! So this is actually the late Spring and Autumn Period.

At last she knows the era she has transmigrated into. From Xi Shi’s name, she can also tell she is in Zhuji.

She originally thought she was just some random passerby who transmigrated here, but in the very next moment she learns that she is actually also a famous figure in history.

Only, ah! Why is she a comic-relief character?!
