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

Shen Taotao, a construction worker who died suddenly from working overtime, opened her eyes to find herself the daughter of a convicted official being exiled to Ningguta! From the start, the prison cart leaked snow, and her whole family was starving until they were skin and bones. Her mother stuffed the last half of a bran cake into her mouth, while her eldest brother used his own back to shield her from the biting wind. Faced with a hellish start, she brought out the fiery temper of a Northeast native and taught her family to dig up squirrels’ food and build windproof shelters, saving all six of their lives in temperatures of minus thirty degrees. As soon as she arrived in Ningguta, she built a hand pump well, and the other exiles fell to their knees, calling her a living immortal. She even built a traditional Northeast heated kang with her own hands! The night the heated stone bed warmed them through, her whole family cried until they shook with sobs. The icy prince Xie Yunjing talked himself into believing, “She touched my chest. She must have feelings for me!” Shen Taotao: “With muscles like these, you’d make a sturdy 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 bitterly cold wasteland? No, it was the new great granary of the North! When the old emperor came looking, frail with illness, he saw only this: roe deer felled with clubs, fish scooped up with ladles, and pheasants flying straight into cooking pots!
