Working hand in hand with Xiao Ce, she rises from the Prince's manor to the center of power and helps the young emperor usher in a golden age.
In their daily life, she teaches her children to grow up and take responsibility, while she and Xiao Ce lovingly bicker. Even after retiring, she remains devoted to the people, using her wisdom to solve problems in the community. At the age of 98, she passes away peacefully beside a wheat field. The people remember her achievements, and her life leaves behind the legend that "farming can change the world."
