After Being Taken to an Enemy Country, I Built a City with the Refugees

After her father was falsely accused, Shen Zhaoxue was sent to an enemy state. During the journey, someone burned the grain records right in front of her, but she recognized her father's military seal on a torn page.

She escaped to Yanhui with the surviving accounts, a border town where refugees were barred from entering while starving people waited for the granaries to open. To survive and uncover the truth about her father's old case, she started with two dou of life-saving grain and a pot of porridge, then recruited people, repaired the dikes, and fought for grain routes, carving out a place for those with nowhere else to go.

But the grain merchants refused to make way, the powerful demanded that she hand over the accounts, and Pei Shuo, the enemy general who had surrendered and traveled with her, was hiding secrets about the military grain case from that year.

How many more days of life could a torn account buy? She had to see this city through the winter.
