Lin Wan, an independent modern woman, unexpectedly transmigrates to Qingxi Village, a fictional dynasty, and becomes a farmer's daughter from a family with nothing to its name and barely enough to eat. Her parents are honest and hardworking, and the family survives on just a few poor plots of land.
Faced with poverty, demanding neighbors, frequent natural and man-made disasters, and pitfalls in the marketplace, Lin Wan draws on her modern agricultural knowledge and business acumen. Starting by improving the fields and making the most of the vegetable garden, she gradually moves into street food stalls, shopkeeping, and agricultural processing, eventually building the Lin's agricultural brand, which serves both town and country.
Along the way, she meets Xie Jingheng, the legitimate heir to a prominent capital family who lives in hiding in the countryside and harbors a secret. From testing one another to helping each other, they grow to understand and cherish one another. Together, they overcome obstacles ranging from harassment by their neighbors to business rivals and official oppression. They not only lead their family and neighbors out of poverty and toward prosperity, but also write a sweet romance in another world, where farming and commerce flourish side by side and life is peaceful and content.
