Su Zhi, a female doctor of modern infrastructure engineering, encountered an accident at a foreign aid construction site, and her soul transmigrated into Princess Pingyang, who was sent from Daliang to Beidi for marriage. The marriage team was ambushed as soon as they entered Beidi territory. When everyone was wiped out, she was rescued by Xiao Han, the king of Dingbei who happened to be passing by.
Xiao Han, the only king with a different surname in Daliang, guarded the northern border for ten years and used 30,000 cavalry to fight against Beidi's 100,000-strong army. He was the "living king of hell" who frightened enemy countries. However, the Shuozhou City he guarded was an abandoned son in the eyes of the imperial court - military pay was withheld, there was a constant shortage of food and grass, the city walls had not been repaired for ten years, and the people were not fully clothed. He can fight, but he is helpless in managing domestic affairs.
Su Zhi stayed in the name of "repaying kindness", but in fact she stayed in order to survive. When she saw the crumbling earthen walls, the hungry soldiers, and the uncultivated wasteland all over the mountains and plains, the infrastructure spirit in her bones awoke. Starting from the most basic rammed earth technology, she led the soldiers and civilians to burn lime, improve farm tools, build water conservancy, and raise livestock... Step by step, she built this dangerous border city into a fortress in the south of the Yangtze River.
And Xiao Han went from being wary and using her at the beginning to being conquered by her little by little. He kept this peace for her so that she could work on construction with peace of mind; she solved his worries so that he could win the war without any worries. When the imperial court finally remembered this border town, when the Beidi army pressed on the border again, and when all the forces were eyeing this piece of fat, they discovered that——
The forgotten Shuozhou is no longer a soft persimmon.
