Lin Yuan wakes amid the agonizing pain of a laboratory explosion, only to find himself in ancient times as Zhang Heng, the son of a farming family.
The original owner died of shame after failing to force himself on his husband, leaving behind a dilapidated house, a mountain of debt, and Chu Qingyan, a husband as cold as ice.
Watching his husband perform every household chore to perfection while treating him like he doesn't exist, Lin Yuan draws a line down the middle of the rice jar.
“Keeping out of each other's way? Works for me.” Lin Yuan shoulders a rusty hoe and heads for the wasteland.
Chu Qingyan shuts the door and sneers. “Putting on an act.”
Then he learns that Lin Yuan has improved the farming tools and brought in a bumper harvest. The creditors turn all smiles, and the neighbor's daughter blushes as she offers Lin Yuan a handkerchief...
Chu Qingyan crushes the medicine bowl. “How did this scoundrel turn into a completely different person?”
