Jinbao, once a little zombie king in her previous life, transmigrates into a weak, helpless child who gets beaten by an aunt and uncle with no blood ties to her.
By chance, she is bought by the loyal Marquis’s wife. One moment she becomes the marquis’s legitimate daughter; the next, the whole household is gone, arrested and exiled.
Jinbao awakens a random Heavenly Eye that lets her see the past and the future.
On the road to exile, everyone else gnaws on bark and eats grass roots.
The people of the marquis’s household find gold, dig up ginseng, and eat steamed buns made from fine flour with roasted meat.
The road to exile is full of danger: assassinations, ambushes, plagues, swamps…
Guided by Jinbao’s Heavenly Eye, they quietly overcome every threat, then turn around and give their enemies a surprise gift package.
Everyone believes the frigid Northern Frontier is a barren wasteland.
Jinbao leads her family in building a city, reclaiming farmland, opening trade routes, and training troops.
When chaos engulfs the land and people suffer, the world finally realizes that the mighty city on the Northern Frontier, once dismissed as a savage wilderness, has become the only haven left in the world.
