Crossing Lanxi's Green Fields

Two female leads & ABO & focuses on the main couple early on, with more of an ensemble cast later & includes a male-female romance

Please steer clear if that bothers you.

Quiet, steady farm girl, a Qianyuan, × a cool, reserved healer hiding a secret, a Kunze

What she found was no delicate flower, but the fuse that would destroy a family.

What she held was no herb hoe, but the key to a bloody reckoning.

Su Yulan, an orphan from Qinghe Village, is a seven-foot-tall Qianyuan with a strength that does little more than turn the soil. Before the frozen ground has thawed after Jingzhe, she finds a half-dead Kunze in an abandoned field: Liu Qingxi.

A medicine shopkeeper’s daughter from the city? She seems as delicate as a willow in early spring.

But the ugly ligature marks around her ankles, the icy silver needles hidden in her sleeve, and the half-burnt map kept close to her body... all show that she is no helpless woman fleeing disaster.

They take shelter in a thatched hut and seal their arrangement with a written contract.

Su teaches her to guide the plow, read the soil, and tend the fields with care.

Liu teaches her to identify herbs and use needles to heal the sick.

Amid bamboo shadows and curling cooking smoke, the cool scents of mint and mugwort quietly mingle with the wheat fields after the rain.

There’s mystery and political intrigue, as well as the everyday warmth of ordinary life; there are bloody clashes and tender affection for the plants and trees around them.
