When Lin Wanyi opened her eyes, she became a peasant woman who was about to starve to death in a deserted village in the northern border of the Great Yan Dynasty. Her mother-in-law is mean, her sister-in-law is scheming, and even her husband despises her as a "coward". Facing famine and malice, her only reliance is a soul-bound modern knowledge base and a bag of sweet potato seeds. When the whole village ran out of food, the sweet potatoes in her backyard saved her life, but also attracted the greedy Rizheng (villain agent). In order to keep her secrets and vitality alive, Lin Wanyi was forced to form an alliance with Lu Chen, a taciturn and unknown hunter in the village. She didn't know that Lu Chen was actually General Zhenbei, who was seriously injured and lost his memory due to a palace coup, and was living here. He was responsible for the fatal secret that overthrew the dynasty.
One of the two provided agricultural and infrastructure knowledge that transcended the times, and the other relied on the remaining military skills and force to provide protection. Starting from improving farm tools and building water conservancy, they built the deserted village into a paradise in troubled times. However, the exploitation of the old forces (environmental hostility and social oppression) follows closely: the greedy county magistrate wants to seize the achievements, the hostile aristocratic families regard him as a threat, and the spies from the capital are gradually approaching Lu Chen's true identity. They must build up enough strength to protect themselves before the food harvest (countdown threat), and make a dilemma: should they stay in a corner and protect this peace, or should they use this new foundation as a fire to get involved in the world's struggle and change this decadent dynasty? Their choice will determine whether this land becomes a paradise or the cornerstone of a new era.
