Lin Wei, the chief palace maid in charge of the Princess’s residence, grew up in the inner palace and became deeply versed in construction, budgeting, building, and matters of livelihood. She managed every infrastructure project at the Princess’s residence with a meticulous mind and a steady hand.
Then, in an accident, her soul crossed into a desolate wilderness. She found herself in a primitive tribe with no food to eat and nowhere to call home.
The people of the Shizi Tribe were weak and timid, surrounded by wild beasts. They had no shelter for the winter, and their grain harvests had failed year after year.
Armed with a millennium of construction knowledge from her days in the inner palace, Lin Wei set out to tame the wilderness and build from the ground up!
She dug canals, built earthen homes, fired pottery kilns, raised tall walls, cultivated millet fields, and set traps to defend against ferocious beasts. She brought water to the fields, stockpiled provisions, and taught the people to farm and weave, one step at a time.
While others still lived on raw meat and blood, she had already built a sprawling village and sturdy double-layered defensive walls. While the tribe had spent years wandering, she single-handedly cultivated vast fields and developed a pottery industry.
Ferocious beasts, covetous neighboring tribes, natural disasters, and bitter winters came one after another. Lin Wei stayed calm and made her plans, defending her people with a short blade and building a civilization for the wilderness, one step at a time.
