Life in Dust Village is bitter and cold, and fate is as harsh as frost. From the moment Shen Ye was born, he was hidden inside a long-buried family secret. A secret concealed just beyond a wall, a lifetime raised without knowing the truth, and sudden demands from blood relatives tear cracks through his peaceful life.
Like a wild weed no one notices, he takes root in barren ground, battered by wind and rain, and sees the greed in human nature and the coldness of human relationships. His adoptive father gives him a lifetime of warm protection, while his blood relatives ensnare him in schemes and conflict.
He refuses the hothouse and will not bow to fate. He takes root in the mud and stands tall in the face of despair. Through a lifetime of ups and downs, he comes to understand the weed's laws of survival: being ordinary does not mean being insignificant, hardship does not mean surrender. Even when born in the dust, one can still break through the earth and grow with an unending strength.
