Shen Beizhi, a hunter's daughter, marries Pei Jingyan, the mild-mannered second son of the wealthiest family in the prefectural city, the Pei family, out of gratitude.
After enduring two years of mistreatment, she finally strikes back, gives her dreadful sister-in-law a thorough beating, and swiftly obtains a divorce decree.
But just as she steps out of the government office, the Pei family is implicated in a succession struggle and sentenced to execution or exile!
Faced with vicious officials arriving to confiscate the family's property, Shen Beizhi stays calm. She pulls out the divorce decree, the ink still wet, and exploits a legal loophole. "Officer, I just got divorced. There's no problem with me legally taking all the dowry and personal savings in this courtyard, right?"
With her natural strength and maxed-out survival skills, she decisively makes off with most of the family fortune and frantically stocks up on goods and grain.
On the road to exile, Pei Jingyan, shackled and expecting to freeze and starve to death, discovers that his ex-wife, who curses him every day, is riding a tall horse and hauling a cart piled with supplies, following the group and feeding them like a goddess come down from heaven.
The guards give them trouble? Beat them! Bandits block the road? Kill them! A scheming relative tries to steal their food? Break their legs!
Her once-weak ex-husband finally awakens on the road to exile, becoming a shrewd business genius who clings to her for dear life. "My lady, I was wrong. Please marry me again!"
Shen Beizhi sneers. "Remarry you? Let's see how well you do reclaiming wasteland, farming, and building walls and fortifications!"
Watch a heroine with overwhelming combat prowess carry her entire family as she builds up the frozen frontier, farms, and step by step creates an impregnable fortress wealthy enough to rival a nation!
