About This Novel

Chen Ming, a student of modern history, accidentally traveled to the Yong Dynasty during the Wanli period. At that time, the government was corrupt, famines were widespread, refugees were everywhere, the smell of wine and meat in wealthy families, and people freezing to death on the roads opened up before his eyes the cruelest picture of troubled times. With a wealth of historical knowledge but no ability to tie a chicken, he started out as a refugee and met Shen Luoyan, the daughter of a medical officer, in a desperate situation. One understands modern agricultural technology, the other has a benevolent medical skill. The two met in Liulin Town. In order to protect themselves and the people, Chen Ming took out the "future" knowledge at the bottom of his box - teaching rural farmers to grow potatoes, modify farm tools, build river embankments, and dig deep wells, trying to plant hope for survival in this barren land. But there is never peace in troubled times. Corrupt inspections, ruthless tax collectors, eyeing refugees, the undercurrent of distant courts, and layers of crises like turbid waves crashing on the shore. Chen Ming not only had to fight wits and courage with the officials, protect the potato fields that had just sprouted, but also had to struggle to survive in famine and epidemics. He also had to face his status as a "foreigner" and his confusion about the future. Shen Luoyan's firmness and gentleness are his light in troubled times; the fresh green in the fields is his confidence to fight against the torrent. When modern wisdom collides with a decadent dynasty, and when a person's glimmer of light meets the great wheel of the times, can they plant a piece of their own vitality in this troubled world where the setting sun is as bloody as blood? This is a story about survival, perseverance and hope - in the darkest times, there are always people who try their best to survive for a full meal, an acre of fertile land, and a person worth protecting.
