Ten years ago, when Shen He took off her embroidered shoes and jumped into the glacier to rescue Zhou Yan who fell into the water, she never expected that the young master Mi Xing who was protected in her arms would become her "happy husband" ten years later; nor did she expect that ten years later his clan elder would slap the table and scold him, "I have nothing to do, so let's get divorced." The day she took her adopted daughter back to her parents' home, she only had a torn-up copy of "Nongsang Notes" in her arms - which were peasant proverbs from various places that she secretly memorized when she was punished by her mother-in-law to kneel down. The clan members thought she was unlucky, so she planted ten miles of fragrant rice on the barren slope; her uncles were in a bloody dispute over the harvest, so she used the length of the rice ears to calculate the fairest division. It wasn't until Zhou Yan was forced to lose all her family wealth by the Shang Dynasty and squatted in her newly built thatched shed to watch her teach Ah Li to identify seedlings that she suddenly remembered: when he was huddled in the woodshed and starving, this house-filling lady, who was always mistreated, secretly left a bowl of hot porridge for him.
