Li Shaolan, a modern homemaker, transmigrates to ancient times and becomes the youngest daughter of a high-ranking official. As soon as she arrives, her father sends her to North Di for a political marriage.
The original owner, Shen Yucheng, was unloved by both parents and had been sent to a country estate as a child to fend for herself. When her father finally brought her back, it was only so he could use her marriage to secure a promotion.
Li Shaolan died a frustrated death in her previous life. Reborn, she is determined to live for herself this time. Fortunately, she has a System space. Taking on Shen Yucheng's identity, she uses the space to build roads and factories in North Di, bringing in a bumper harvest. Then she establishes schools, employs women, and brings electricity and trains to North Di. In just a few years, she ushers North Di into the industrial age. The emperor of Nanshao can't sit still, but it was his people who sent her there for the political marriage. It's too late to regret it now.
When Shen Yucheng firmly declares that she will never return to Nanshao, everyone there is filled with regret. Her terrible parents try to guilt-trip her with family ties. Shen Yucheng replies, "Sorry, we've already cut ties."
