He was once the dazzling president of a conglomerate, then became a castoff in a prosperous city. Now he is the backbone of the remote mountains of the southwest. A buried past, and a redemption shared by one man and an entire era.
Lin Qianfeng's life came crashing down at its peak in Shencheng. Used by the lover he trusted, he became the “legal representative” who was sent to prison. After his release, disgraced and with nothing left, he dragged his shattered soul back to the poor mountain village he had once fought so hard to escape.
He was met with wary stares and the label of “released convict.” At his most desperate, He Xiaotang, a technician assigned to the village, brought him his first touch of human warmth. She was not only a beacon of hope sent by the agricultural academy, but also the light that helped him regain his faith during his darkest years.
The villagers' ridicule, seeds of hatred, the arrival of his son, his rival's frame-up... The road to being reborn was a hard one.
Twenty years passed in a flash. The barren hills of old had become ten thousand mu of fragrant medicinal fields through the hard work of Lin Qianfeng and He Xiaotang.

See how he rises from the mud, using hands once stained by disgrace to hold up a whole new world, and ultimately finds the answer to life through the mutual redemption he shares with the land.
A rural novel blending the depth of reality with the power of emotion, dedicated to everyone who still chooses to rebuild their dreams amid life's ruins.
