[A business elite transmigrates into a grain thief? Watch her grow a fortune in the famine years!]
Modern businesswoman Shen Xinglan wakes from a deep sleep to discover she has become a “grain thief” being denounced in the 1960s or 70s. Faced with hungry villagers, a vicious antagonist, and a destitute mountain village, she gives a cold laugh. If she could master the capital markets in her previous life, she can grow gold in the famine years in this one!
She improves farm tools, develops preserved fruit, and establishes a cooperative. Leading a team of widows, she weaves a bright future, while joining forces with a brilliant young intellectual to spark a technological revolution. As outdated ideas clash fiercely with the tides of change, and business acumen runs up against the constraints of a turbulent era, Shen Xinglan rises above the rumors and transforms a poor village, step by step, into a “little Jiangnan” that everyone envies.
The aloof and proud young intellectual Chen Yuze goes from clashing with her at every turn to being willing to take the blame and go to prison for her. The strange art books belonging to the mysterious painter Lin Yuanshan conceal secrets that span time and space... Amid the era’s stormy waves, can she rewrite her fate and find a new beginning on this land?
“In this life, I won’t just survive. I’ll make sure everyone sees the light.”
