Exiled After Her Family Is Confiscated, the Bold Legitimate Daughter Builds a Tower at the Border!

After dying suddenly from overwork, construction worker Shen Taotao opened her eyes to find herself the daughter of a disgraced official, exiled to Ningguta! From the start, snow blew through the prison cart, and her family was starving until they were as thin as paper. Her mother stuffed the last half of a bran cake into her mouth, while her eldest brother used his own body to shield her from the biting wind. Faced with a hellish start, she brought out the tough temper of a Northeast native and taught her family to dig up squirrels’ food stores and carve out windproof shelters. They kept all six of them alive in temperatures of minus thirty degrees. As soon as she arrived in Ningguta, she built a suction well, and the other exiles knelt down and called her a living goddess. She even built a heated kang bed with her bare hands! The night the warm stones were heated, her whole family sobbed until they could barely breathe. The icy prince Xie Yunjing convinced himself, “She touched my chest. She must have feelings for me!” Shen Taotao thought, “These muscles are sturdy enough to hold up a roof beam!” He gritted his teeth and offered her a gold hairpin as a hint at a betrothal gift. Her eyes lit up. “Can I melt it down to make a pickaxe?” She led everyone in building houses and digging coal mines, transforming Ningguta into a prosperous land. A frozen wasteland? No, it was the new granary of the north! When the ailing old emperor finally came looking for them, he saw pheasants flying into cooking pots, fish scooped from rivers, and roe deer brought down with sticks!
