In the far north, wind and snow rage without end. Her parents die unjustly, leaving behind a dilapidated clothing shop and a pair of hungry younger siblings who depend on one another to survive. The whole family is exiled to the frontier.
The eldest daughter, Zhen Renyu, welcomes guests from every corner beyond the border with a soft leather measuring tape in hand and a smile on her face.
Measure a general's chest, and she can uncover the truth about the concealed armor beneath his clothes.
Measure a person's height, and she can calculate how much grain and pay they transport.

When chaos engulfs the border and rival clans rise, everyone discovers to their horror that the tiny clothing shop, fragrant with wheat and warmed by its stove, has long since taken control of the lifeline and throat of the entire fortress city.
