In his previous life, Shen Zhaoning led his tribe to flee from famine, but ended up dying in the yellow sand outside Yumen Pass.
In this life, she returned to the three months before the natural disaster.
Drought is about to begin, food prices are rising, rivers are bottoming out, and the world is still living in ordinary times. Only Shen Zhaoning knows that what awaits them next is not only famine, but also refugees, plagues, bandits, and life-and-death barriers that have been pressed down along the way.
This time, she was no longer the Shen daughter who only tolerated things.
She first stopped her relatives from sucking blood, and then stocked up on food, medicine and seeds. She set off from her homeland with the whole family and headed west along the ancient road, passing through chaotic cities, crossing deserted slopes, avoiding official duties, and fighting rogue bandits. She forced herself to escape from the desolate road where there were starving people everywhere, trying to carve out a way for the whole family to survive.
When they arrived at Yumen Pass, everyone thought this was just the end of their escape.
Only Shen Zhaoning knows that the real way to survive is not to survive, but to build a city.
Wasteland must be opened, wells must be dug, grain must be planted, trade routes must be opened, and rules must be established.
What she wants is not just to protect her family, but to build a border town where ordinary people can survive in the yellow sand outside the pass.
Pei Yanzhou, a major general of the beleaguered frontier army, originally wanted to lend her a ride to survive, but later he watched step by step as this woman, soft on the outside and tough on the inside, gathered a group of refugees, tribesmen, craftsmen and wounded soldiers into a city, and turned the desolate ancient road into a way of life.
From escaping for survival to establishing a foothold in the pass;
From protecting the entire clan to defending a city.
In this life, Shen Zhaoning no longer wants to be the person crushed by the troubled times. She wants to be the person who lights up the fireworks of the world again at the end of the yellow sand.
Reader comments
First of all, I would like to give it a full star review. When I read it, I didn't know it was a new book. I was most afraid of catching up on the update [laughing]. However, the plot is still quite good. I like the heroine's decisive character. It's just that the second aunt always jumps out and criticizes people. I can't stand it. She has a stupid brain and a weak mouth, which is very annoying.
