Bai Anning was setting up a stall at a night market when a criminal gang took her hostage. After being tortured to death, she opened her eyes in an alternate world as an orphan with a serious eye condition.
Her nearsightedness blurred the daylight, while night blindness swallowed up the dark. Before she could adjust to her impaired vision, her greedy fiancé’s family traded her for a wild boar and threw her into the arms of Lu Ye, a hunter infamous for his fearsome reputation.
Rumor had it that the burly man with the full beard killed without blinking. But when she stumbled through the darkness, and famine drove people to the brink, the cold-faced hunter’s long-hidden, burning love for her finally came to life.
He was a silent protector and a loyal, devoted hound. His hunting bow kept wolves and jackals at bay, while his broad chest shielded her from wind and rain.
Yet just as she was coming back to life in the arms of this rugged man, a terrible drought swept the land, leaving the dead strewn everywhere. Every step of their journey to escape famine was fraught with danger.
The fiancé who had abandoned her was now consumed with jealousy.
Hiding behind the pretense of childhood sweethearts, he schemed to cause trouble, hoping to reclaim the woman he had once treated as worthless.
With wilderness survival and emotional battles intertwined, can this “mismatched couple” hold tight to each other in the face of despair, overcome famine and conspiracy, and plant the seeds of hope in a new land, building a life filled with warmth and wonder?
