Modern-day office worker Xia An'an dies suddenly from working overtime. When she opens her eyes, she has transmigrated into the body of Xia Yi'an, an overlooked daughter in a poor family in ancient times.
Her father is a hidebound village tutor who insists that “a woman’s virtue lies in having no talent.” He is deeply partial to sons and cares only about his late eldest son, the family’s “glory.” Her mother is a timid woman trapped by feudal rules.

He is a rough-hewn country man, unloved by both parents; she is a girl with no place in her family, rejected by her father and mother. Both have suffered neglect in their families of origin, and on the barren ridges of their fields, they unexpectedly find warmth and understanding in each other.
He chops wood and carries water for her, keeping her safe, while she teaches him to improve crops and plan their livelihood. Seeds from her space begin to sprout, and the smoke rising from their fields warms their hearts. The two people who once drifted through life alone finally find the warmth of home in each other.
When they face the harassment of greedy relatives and the contempt of their neighbors, they join hands and fight side by side. Using modern knowledge, they grow high-yield
