Exiled from the start + building infrastructure and farming + father and daughter carry each other to success + lighthearted wish fulfillment
After the Northern Pacification Prince’s manor was confiscated and the family exiled to the northern frontier, little Princess Su Manman awakened memories of her past life.
While the old prince was still miserably digging for wild greens, Su Manman had already turned the barren wilderness into a prosperous paradise.
For most people, exile means misery and hardship. For Su Manman, it means feasting, fun, and gathering followers along the way.
In just three years, she not only won over the fierce foreign tribes, but also built a city that never sleeps.
While others fought over a single steamed bun, Su Manman ate hotpot and sang with her father.
When the imperial court sent troops to crush her, Su Manman brought out cannons and elite cavalry.
Then one day, the old emperor wanted to offer amnesty to the bandit chief who had claimed a mountain as his own.
The owner of the biggest grain-trading business was the princess.
The head of the strongest weapons factory was the princess.
Even the goddess most revered by the neighboring kingdoms was the princess.
The people knew the King of the Northern Frontier, but not the emperor in the capital.
While her father was still worrying that his daughter would never find a husband,
Su Manman looked at the civil and military officials filling the city and thought that conquering the realm might not be so hard after all.
So she draped the imperial robes over her father and went to sleep atop her list of achievements.
Being an all-powerful retired empress sounded far more comfortable than being emperor.
