Su Wantang has been reborn. In her previous life, her entire family was exiled to the bitterly cold northern lands, where more than half of them died or were injured. This time, she has returned twenty years earlier. The noble ladies of the capital laugh at her for heading toward certain death. Local strongmen in the border town squeeze her for even a single copper coin on every fish she sells. Her enemy, Wei Yunchang, pursues her all the way to the North, determined to destroy her last chance of survival. No one believes that the frozen wasteland, where even water turns to ice, is a land of gold in her eyes. The waters beneath the ice teem with endless fish, fine-wool sheep roam the mountains, and pine nuts and mushrooms are plentiful enough to serve as food. Leading her family, dressed in hemp clothes, she drills through the ice to catch fish, roasts pine nuts, and spins wool into cashmere. Step by step, she transforms herself from an exiled convict into the mastermind behind the northern trade routes. In this life, she will no longer fight her way back to the capital. She will fight her way to the top from the North...
