A Tycoon's Daughter Goes to the Countryside

He Xue, the only daughter of the richest man in Tiannan Province, has an impeccable résumé but a temperament as cold as ice. Haunted by deep-seated trauma, she keeps her distance from the circles of the powerful and resists any man who tries to get close. Then an order of “exile” sends her from the clouds down to Tongxing Town in remote, impoverished Heyun County. Her father is determined to toughen up his sole heir.

The small town is surrounded by green hills and clear waters, but its backwardness and isolation are impossible to hide. There, she meets Huang Yun, the first person from town to attend a top university, who nevertheless chose to return home. His heart belongs to his community, and his eyes shine with lofty ideals, making him the opposite of her polished self-interest. Their first meeting ends badly.

She thinks he’s provincial, stubborn, and idealistic; he finds her spoiled, arrogant, and out of touch with ordinary life. Arguments, misunderstandings, and confrontations play out again and again in the isolated town, like ice clashing with fire. Yet as they are repeatedly thrown together and face hardships side by side, an inexplicable affection quietly takes root, stubbornly breaking through their defenses.

But the rifts run deep. They break up four times and reunite four times. His entrepreneurial ventures suffer one blow after another, while her world suddenly crumbles: her family business is caught in a bankruptcy crisis, and its former splendor teeters on the brink. Two formidable rivals also appear in succession, one domineering and forceful, the other tender and affectionate, making their relationship even more tumultuous.
