Lin Wei: From a hot-tempered transmigrant to someone who truly becomes part of the family, taking on the roles of Zhuzhu’s mother, Nannan’s mother, and the scholar’s wife. Her temper remains fiery, but she grows more responsible and wise. Her feelings for the children develop from a sense of duty into deep love; her attitude toward the scholar shifts from disdain to acceptance, admiration, and reliance. Her business acumen and leadership skills continue to grow.
Zhao Changqing: From an aloof, pedantic, down-on-his-luck scholar to a down-to-earth, responsible provincial graduate. He learns to respect his wife’s abilities and let go of pointless pride. He remains clumsy at farming and housework, but makes an effort to help. His feelings for Lin Wei progress from shock and fear to respect and deep love.
Zhuzhu & Nannan: From frail and fearful to healthy and lively. Their feelings for Lin Wei shift from fear to trust and deep love; they see her as their true mother. Zhuzhu may show the responsibility of a little man, while Nannan is a clever, mischievous child who brings joy to her parents.
