Pact of the Earth Spirits

Lin Man transmigrates into the body of a farm girl sold to pay off a debt. The moment she opens her eyes, she hears the earth crying. She can talk to the land and make a pact with it. Barren soil yields gold, and the land spirits pledge their loyalty. The village women call her a land-cursing jinx. She ignores them and gets to work, turning a drought-stricken field that no one has wanted for thirty years into the pride of the whole village. Only Shen Yan, the newly arrived river worker, ever seems to notice her. With a cool expression, he hands her an umbrella, assigns her a hoe, and quietly puts the land deeds she wants and the favors she needs within her reach, one by one. Others can ask him ten times and get nowhere. She asks once, and he takes care of it. Before long, everyone is saying that Lord Shen's land recognizes Lin Man, and so does his heart: she is the only one it belongs to. This novel and its characters are entirely fictional.
