Very glad she doesn't have to live through the An Lushan rebellion. That revolt in 755 led to a truly brutal 8-year civil war, which in turn brought devastating famine. Censuses taken before and after show that the imperial population decreased by an absolutely terrifying two-thirds (although a lot of this might have more to do with large numbers of people being internally displaced and therefore not well accounted for by the census). In any case certainly one of the worst places and times to live in all of ancient history. Hope that lucky clover helps the second miss.
Edit: To put this in further perspective, World War I resulted in about 20 million military and civilian deaths at a time when the global population was around 1.7 billion (death rate ~1.2%). With the An Lushan rebellion, the difference in pre and post-war censuses amounts to 36 million at a time when the global population was around 210-220 million ("death" rate ~16.7%). Even if you try to take into account the very real limitations of the post war census (one historian estimates an actual death toll of 13 million), that leaves you with a global death rate of about 6%. Six percent of the world's current population is 486 million, meaning the entire populations of the United States and Russia could die and not even match the proportional death toll.
