Lu Ning was reborn on the eve of her marquis household being seized and her family exiled.
In her previous life, she trusted her stepmother and was betrayed and manipulated. She died in the jaws of wolves during the exile.
This time, she proceeds with caution, cuts ties without mercy, and personally sends her enemies to a painful end.
On the road to exile, natural disasters are impossible to avoid, and man-made calamities are hard to escape.
But she emptied her enemies' storehouses long in advance, so she never goes hungry along the way.
When danger comes, she finds a way through; when disaster strikes, she overcomes it.
She believes the only dependable support she can count on is herself.
In the bitterly cold wasteland of northern Cangzhou, where everyone sees only desolation and ruin,
she starts growing cotton and improving production methods.
From a convict slave whose life was worth less than grass, she rises to become a wealthy magnate in prosperous northern Cangzhou.
She establishes schools for girls, builds workshops, opens clinics, and repairs roads.
The busiest street in the northern wilderness is alive with teahouses and taverns, and her name is sung everywhere.
She once thought Jiang Yan was no more than a husband bound to her by imperial decree,
a resentful couple destined to loathe one another yet unable to part.
She never expected that he had long since engraved her in his very bones and would protect her with all his heart.
In every lifetime, his love remains steadfast and silent.
When a peaceful life and power and status are laid before them, she chooses a quiet life in the countryside, and he chooses her.
Jiang Yan: "My dear, to meet you again in this life is already a blessing from Heaven. Wherever you are, that's where I'll be."
