Xiao Yan, a modern agricultural scientist, traveled through time and became an exiled concubine of the Jing Dynasty. He was bound to the ecological laboratory system. In a desperate situation of poverty and powerful enemies, he used modern technology and wisdom to integrate the power of three women, Chu Xiang, a troubled official lady, Yue Luo, a Miao witch, and Leng Yan, a retired secret guard. He led the tenant farmers of the manor who were on the verge of collapse through cup seedling breeding and scientific research. Through a series of methods such as learning to fertilize, domesticating ducks, and using lime to repel enemies, they not only withstood repeated attacks by bandits in Heiyun Village, but also struggled to survive in the horrifying man-made locust plague. In the end, they revealed the collusion between officials and bandits and the family conspiracy hidden behind the disaster. They transformed from a lamb to be slaughtered to a force that cannot be ignored, laying the foundation for the subsequent struggle.
