In her previous life, Gu Mingtang didn’t see the truth until she died on the road to exile.
Her father was wrongfully executed, and most of the Gu family were killed. Yet her stepmother, Lady Liu, took the family fortune and lived in luxury with her younger sister, who walked over the Gu family’s corpses. Even the credit for saving Shen Du at the risk of her life was stolen by her sister.
When Gu Mingtang opens her eyes again, she is back three days before the family’s assets are confiscated. The green jade bangle her grandmother left her has also gained a pocket dimension with a magical spring.
In three days, Gu Mingtang clears out the gold, silver, and medicine, takes every last grain from the full granaries, and leaves none of the Gu family’s prized weapons for her enemies. When the soldiers break in, all they find are three empty storehouses and chaff scattered across the floor.
Forged letters, ambushes on the road to exile, secret changes to orders…
Her enemies’ deadly schemes come one after another, but she leads her clan north and tears a path to survival out of what should have been certain death.
But why is the man who should be far away on the northern frontier following her all the way with a merchant caravan?
By the campfire, Shen Du pushes the Gu family military dagger back toward her. “Miss Gu, what will you trade for your life?”
Gu Mingtang looks up. “Food, weapons, and a city that can help you defend the northern frontier. Is that enough?”
