Wu Zheng, the son of a wealthy merchant from the south of the Yangtze River, was framed by powerful officials and the fake daughter Lin Wanrou. After his family was destroyed, he was exiled to the bitter cold of the north. When he was on the verge of death, he activated the "All Things Growth" system, unlocking incredible abilities such as rapid crop growth, soil improvement, and natural disaster warning. With a tortoise character, he made steady progress, opened up wasteland, cultivated land, and built a house in Heishigou.
He recruited the refugees to work for relief, planted out-of-season crops through a system, built markets, built water conservancy projects, opened schools, and turned the barren land into a paradise. On the way, he encounters Lin Qingyi, a real daughter who was demoted due to the overthrow of her family. The fate of her former betrothed is intertwined. The two work together to resolve crises such as spring floods, locust plagues, and plagues, and fight against Lin Wanrou's repeated abuses and the plans of local powerful men.
From being alone to gathering into a town, from enduring hunger to being the richest man in the North, Wu Zheng relied on farming as his foundation and stood firm with wisdom and patience. He not only washed away his grievances, but also quietly rewrote the entire pattern of the North, planting his own piece of sky in the ice and snow.
