From Peasant to Overlord: Rising in Rebellion with Billions in Supplies

Ye Sangwan, a modern medical professional, dies in an earthquake after inheriting a silk factory. She awakens in the body of a girl with the same name in the Tianshan Kingdom, a dynasty plagued by heavy taxes and conscription. The original owner was an orphan living in poverty with her younger sister Ye Sangyan, sister-in-law Xu Dani, and young brother Ye Chuan. They are abused by their greedy grandmother, Zhao Juhua, and her second son, Ye Dasheng, who stole the funeral money from Ye Sangwan’s father and elder brother, both of whom died in war. Ye Sangwan discovers she possesses a portable space containing her modern infirmary, stocked with infinite medicine and food, which she uses to stabilize her family’s dire situation.

Immediately after transmigrating, Ye Sangwan defends herself and her sister from two men attempting assault, using acupuncture needles and martial arts learned from her grandfather. She later saves her pregnant sister-in-law from a miscarriage using her medical skills. When Zhao Juhua steals their remaining resources, Ye Sangwan confronts her publicly, threatening violence to recover the stolen funeral silver. Her grandfather, Ye Wenzhu, finally intervenes, severing ties with Zhao and the rest of the extended family, allowing Ye Sangwan to establish an independent household. She discovers her fiancé, Yunheng, is alive despite rumors of his death, and learns he threw a stone to help her during the initial attack.

Ye Sangwan’s life changes when she travels to town to sell a hundred-year-old ginseng to fund the construction of a new home. On the way, she saves a nobleman’s son from choking using the Heimlich maneuver, earning the gratitude of Lady Ji. She successfully sells the ginseng for two thousand taels of silver to Lady Ji, who had been deceived by a rival clinic into believing it was fake. With this wealth, Ye Sangwan begins building a sturdy brick house and plans to introduce modern agricultural techniques, such as double-cropping and sweet potato cultivation, to improve the village’s food security.

Her new confidence attracts the attention of Yunheng, who begins to show interest in her, though he remains reserved. Ye Sangwan also faces hostility from Miao Miao, a village girl jealous of her relationship with Yunheng, and Mrs. Hua, the grandmother of a criminal Ye Sangwan had previously defeated. Mrs. Hua demands compensation for her grandson’s arrest, but Yunheng intimidates the family into paying Ye Sangwan for her injuries instead. As she settles into her new life, Ye Sangwan balances her role as a protector of her siblings, a skilled healer, and a woman navigating a complicated engagement with a man who harbors secrets of his own.

The story follows Ye Sangwan as she uses her modern knowledge and supernatural space to uplift her family from poverty. She faces ongoing challenges from greedy relatives and village rivals while building a business and improving her community. Her relationship with Yunheng evolves from awkward distance to mutual respect and budding affection, as he protects her and she aids him in ways he cannot refuse. The narrative highlights her determination to survive and thrive in a harsh historical setting, leveraging her unique advantages to create a secure future for herself and her loved ones.
