[Disguised as a man + plot-focused + love grows over time + devoted couple]
A down-and-out, humble craftswoman vs. a cool-headed, scheming new powerbroker
Ye Zi is someone so lowly she seems to have been ground into the dirt.
In the prime of her life as a woman, she can only go on living as a man.
She becomes a widower and shovels manure.
Out of regard for his old friend's memory, Lu Xi has no choice but to look after his clansmen.
But why does this man, who looks like a little black stick, cling to him like a plaster?
He can't stand her. She's just a responsibility he's been forced to shoulder.
Still, the more he sees of this little black stick, the more agreeable and delicate she seems.
Little by little, he gets used to her, and even finds himself looking forward to seeing her.
Only when he dreams of the little black stick dressed as a woman does he realize something is terribly wrong...
