Modern economics and political science master’s graduate Su Qing transmigrates into the body of Lin Wan, the legitimate daughter of a general’s family who has been exiled. Starting out in a freezing wasteland, she uses modern knowledge to improve agriculture, establish schools, and fight epidemics, gradually building an independent community. As she navigates the competing forces surrounding her, including the scheming Prince Xiao Chen and Lin Zhao, the son of a minister, she outmaneuvers them with economic strategies and an intelligence network. In the end, she joins forces with Xiao Chen to topple a corrupt dynasty amid the chaos of war, ushering in a new era that values people’s livelihoods and guarantees development through knowledge and institutions.
