The Shen family guarded Yanmen Pass for forty years, but they were not killed by the Xiongnu sword, but fell into a trap of collusion with the enemy.
The legitimate daughter Shen Zhiwei's parents died violently, and she was exiled to Beishuo with her three sick siblings. Snow leaked from the dilapidated earthen house, grain bags were bottomed out, evil neighbors seized the grain, and local gangsters blackmailed them. The whole village was betting that the guilty minister would not be able to survive the first winter.
No one thought that she could make a living by running an army.
The ancestral jade pendant is stained with blood and oozes out the delicate spiritual spring. Combined with the ancient border guard sauce method passed down by the grandfather, a jar of scallion sauce is fragrant throughout the village. She established rules, left evidence, and set up counter-attacks. She convinced the shrews and ruffians one by one. She went from selling goods in the village to long-term contracts for military supplies for the border army. She suddenly turned a small workshop on the border into a new business star in the northwest.
As the trade routes opened up, old scores surfaced: the father's crime was the result of a death set by a giant beetle in the court.
Pei Yanzhi, the supervisory censor who was ordered to investigate corruption, was the person she should avoid most on her way to overturn the case - he was investigating old cases of the Shen family, but he was protecting the orphan girl of the Shen family. Cold-eyed to the point of standing side by side, with an iron face and an ice-hearted heart, he finally opens the way for Zhongliang.
From a sinful slave to a wealthy businessman, what she wanted was never wealth.
It is the Shen family that is innocent, and it is the brothers and sisters who are upright and return to Yanmen Pass.
