Su Yao was a top chef in the modern world, but overnight, she transmigrated into the body of a little girl in ancient times. The girl's family had offended a local tyrant, who seized their only small plot of land. Her father died with a grudge, her mother wasted away in sorrow, and her older brother vanished under mysterious circumstances. She herself had been tricked into falling into a river, allowing Su Yao to take over her body. When Su Yao awoke and saw the shabby house, she was filled with worry. But just when things seemed hopeless, she discovered she had a mysterious space of her own. It maintained a constant temperature all year round and contained a spirit spring and spiritual soil, producing crops of extraordinary quality.
Su Yao decided to use the space to improve their lives. First, she planted seeds she had gathered in the wild, and soon harvested a batch of high-quality vegetables. She took them to market, where they were snapped up in an instant for their fresh, delicious taste. She also befriended a kind vegetable seller, Uncle Zhang. With her first earnings, Su Yao bought back her family's old land. Then, with help from the spirit spring, she made the soil incredibly fertile.
But their good fortune didn't last long before the local tyrant came calling again. He wanted to seize the land Su Yao had bought back and take her as his concubine. Su Yao refused to give in. While dealing with the tyrant, she met Feng Yichen, a cold and aloof swordsman passing through the area. After observing her, Feng Yichen saw that Su Yao was clever, quick-witted, and kindhearted, so he helped her drive the tyrant away. However, Su Yao keenly sensed that Feng Yichen seemed to be hiding from someone. As they spent time together, he gradually grew fond of her and decided to stay in the village to protect her.
