"You scholar, you have stepped on my roots!"
On the night of the full moon, Hongyao, a carrot practitioner who has been practicing for three hundred years, transformed into a human form and met Shen Yanqing, a poor scholar who had fallen into disgrace for the third time.
She doesn't understand the rules of the world and can only clumsily please: helping him grow vegetables, grinding ink for him, and using her own juice to heal his seriously ill sister.
He never believed in ghosts and gods, but he was warmed up by her little by little.
However, the human-monster took a different path, was punished by heaven's rules, and was hunted down by monks - when she exhausted her cultivation and turned back into a seed, this scholar who only read the books of sages searched through the world's classics and found a way for her to sprout again:
Three years of hard work.
"I've finally... Been planted in your heart."
