[Extreme cold disaster + replacement bride turned stepmother + comeback from desperate straits + building an underground refuge + powerful partnership]
She had just married into a remote mountain household as a replacement bride when a century’s worth of blizzards crushed the mountain ridges.
The family had only three days’ worth of food left when the clan’s bullies came with logs to smash down the door and seize their cave.
Pei Yunshu kicked a vicious servant to the ground and laid down a strict rule:
Want to live? Hand over your surplus food. Work to earn your meals. Disobey, and you go straight out into the snow!
An avalanche wiped out the village. She awakened an emotion System, trading emotions for blueprints and cold-weather supplies.
Her scarred husband stood by her side with a knife in hand, while three frozen little ones clung tightly to her. Together, the family trampled across the frozen river and made for a land of death.
The world was frozen solid, and the starving dead littered the land.
Yet the underground snow city she built with her own hands was filled with cooking smoke, its warm air never fading.
