Exiled Three Thousand Miles? The Noblewoman Builds an Oasis in the North

“A substitute bride sent into exile? Thanks for asking. Claiming land in Mobei and building it up is the real deal!”

Li Jinyu, a wilderness survival blogger, transmigrates into the body of a Marquis's manor's substitute bride.

She has barely finished the wedding ceremony when the Imperial Guards burst in: “The Northern Pacification Marquis's household has committed treason. They are to be exiled three thousand li at once!”

Still in her wedding dress, Li Jinyu surveys the wreckage: her husband is an heir who has become a living corpse after being poisoned; her mother-in-law is coughing blood and clinging to life; her young siblings-in-law are terrified and helpless; and their clan's wolves are sharpening their claws.

She brings out her space's spirit spring water:

Save the heir: She gives him medicinal broth, but once he wakes, he grabs her around the waist. “My lady, I can only repay you for saving my life by giving myself to you...”

Take on the clan: She throws a vicious relative over her shoulder into a thicket of thorns. “I hear thorns flourish when watered with blood. Uncle, your contribution is immeasurable.”

Build an oasis: She teaches the people to tame sand foxes, improves their farming tools, channels snowmelt into underground canals, and plants rows of poplar trees to form a green barrier around the oasis!

When the Xiongnu cavalry raises a sandstorm, the once-bedridden heir stands with his sword before the poplar grove she planted. His black armor cuts through the smoke of war. “Whoever destroys even one of my wife's saplings will pay with his life...”

She smiles and raises her improved crossbow, standing with the countless people behind her to defend their homeland. “I'll wager the jade pendant at your waist. Let's see who can take the enemy general's head first!”

This thousand li of sandy wasteland will become the Jiangnan of the frontier, filled with the ringing of camel bells...
