When the aloof herbalist Tao Youning crosses paths with the fiery-tempered mulberry farmer Lin Yunxiu, their professional bickering sparks chemistry!
She thinks the other is rigid, while the other laughs at her recklessness. Then one of them has an allergic reaction and the other stays up all night to help raise silkworms, while one is afraid of doctors but obediently lets the other treat her with moxibustion.
From trading barbs to staying up late brewing medicinal tea, from fighting over land deeds to clasping hands in court, their no-nonsense farming life suddenly turns heart-flutteringly sweet. Who cares about the best time to pick honeysuckle or the habits of mulberry moths? The warmth of her fingertips is far more fascinating to study.
Two stubborn women, one medicinal herb field. Who says farming can’t be sweeter than candied fruit?
(A friendly warning: Keep your diabetes medication handy while reading. This is unbearably sweet.)
