When she opened her eyes, she was no longer in her modern apartment.
She had transmigrated into the body of a notorious village girl—poor, hated, and known as the “wicked girl” of the village.
Everyone expected her to fail.
But then she saw the sea.
While the villagers struggled to survive by farming, she remembered something they had forgotten: the ocean was a treasure chest.
She walked along the shore and discovered wild seaweed, shellfish, crabs, fish, and precious sea products that nobody knew how to process properly.
“Why waste all this?” she whispered.
Using knowledge from her previous life, she taught the villagers how to preserve fish, dry seafood, make seaweed products, and turn their harvest into goods that merchants would pay a fortune for.
At first, nobody believed her.
Then the first merchant arrived.
He bought everything.
The village earned more money in one day than they had seen in months.
Soon, carts came from neighboring towns. Families who once went hungry could afford rice, new houses, and their children’s education.
The girl everyone called wicked had become the village’s greatest hope.
But just as their fortune began to grow, wealthy outsiders noticed the mysterious source of their prosperity.
And they wanted the sea for themselves.
