After an experimental accident, Lin Wei, a top student at the Agricultural University, accidentally transformed into a peasant girl "Panti" in Qingshi Village, a water town in the south of the Yangtze River during the fictional dynasty. As soon as she opened her eyes, she was in a thatched house with four bare walls. Facing her patriarchal grandmother, her honest and taciturn farmer father, her frail and sick mother, and her sister who also bore the name of "Zhao Di", the difficulties of survival came one after another.
As the second girl who is not expected, she not only has to endure her grandmother's difficulties and her uncle's schemes, but also faces the dilemma of the whole family not having enough to eat. But Lin Wei, who possesses modern knowledge, was not depressed. When she was three years old, she used the excuse of "revelation in a dream" to lead her family to the mountains to pick wild vegetables and improve the food with novel recipes such as shepherd's purse cakes and cold purslane. After discovering her mother's embroidery skills, she drew novel rose patterns and guided her mother to embroider best-selling embroidery, earning the family's first stable income.
When she discovered the idle lowland beside the village, she persuaded her father to open a lotus root field against all odds. She did everything from seed selection to irrigation. Not only did she harvest plump lotus roots, but she also made lotus leaves and flowers the new favorites of the market. As the lotus root fields harvested, she shared her planting techniques with the villagers without reservation, driving the whole village to develop the lotus root industry. At the same time, she improved rice planting methods and promoted techniques such as plant ash fertilization and farmyard manure decomposition, which greatly increased the food output of Qingshi Village.
