Huo Rang, a modern graduate student in agricultural science, unexpectedly travels back to the Western Han dynasty. Empress Dowager Dou has just died, Emperor Wu of Han has only recently taken power, and undercurrents are stirring across the land.
In Pingyang, she and the cautious Huo Guang rely on each other, bringing humor to their modest life.
In Chang’an, Huo Qubing protects her, Huo Guang helps conceal her secrets, and Emperor Wu also takes a liking to her because of his fondness for Huo Qubing. Huo Rang tries to keep a low profile, but her agricultural instincts are impossible to hide. She improves farming tools, tests new crops, and promotes composting, quietly transforming the fields of the Han dynasty. She breaks deadlocks with humor and builds connections through her warmth. Amid Huo Qubing’s glory after his victory at Langjuxu and Huo Guang’s careful political maneuvering, she remains firmly rooted in the land. This is an epic tale with a sprawling cast, capturing the young general’s passion and the politicians’ deep schemes, while telling of a transmigrated woman who writes an extraordinary life in the Han dynasty with her wisdom and laughter.
