After Marrying a Rugged Tribal Chief, I Became the Richest Woman in the North

As a transmigrator, Li Tangtang had thought she’d landed the script of a female lead. Instead, she was just a palace maid who swept the palace halls, sprinkling water and sweeping the floors day after day with nothing to do. Then one day, the alliance of Northern Frontier tribes came to pay tribute and asked to marry a woman from Great Qin as a sign of their surrender. Li Tangtang was chosen as one of the women sent to marry the Northern Frontier leader, Amuer. When she arrived, she discovered that her husband was desperately poor. Li Tangtang opened a drinks shop, developed local specialties like hot pot mutton and lamb spine, and made sauces. She experimented with recreating the heated brick beds of the Northeast, made warm clothing from fur, and bartered with the people living along the border. She also made clay-pot dishes, changed the local cooking habits, found a salt lake, and used modern methods to boil salt, making the people prosperous. She helped Amuer expose his elder brother’s plot, transformed the harsh living conditions of the Northern Frontier people, and won everyone’s support.
