Chen Jianqing is reborn in the womb and grows up in an isolated mountain village in the 1950s.
The shackles of favoring sons over daughters weigh heavily on rural girls. They are treated like commodities, married off in exchange for a bride price, and trapped for life between the fields and the kitchen stove.
All she wants is to escape this stifling place.
But after seeing countless rural girls trapped by fate, unable to learn to read or leave the mountains, she resolutely chooses to stay and does everything she can to forge a path to education for them.
After years of diligent study, she passes the imperial examination. She meets Xie Zehua, who shares her ideals, and the two work side by side, putting down roots in their homeland and striving together toward a brighter future.
