[This story was abandoned before its ending] After an accident, Lin Xi, a scholar from a once-prosperous family fallen on hard times, collapses in a dilapidated temple in the wilderness. With a storm raging and his life hanging by a thread,
a moment of kindness leads Qin Ye, a taciturn hunter, to take the drenched, shivering “little trouble” home.
And so it begins: from being useless at chores and knowing nothing about farming, Lin Xi learns to till the land, raise chickens, and cook; from watching coldly and meeting everything with silence, Qin Ye clumsily learns to care for him and quietly grows attached.
In this secluded mountain village, a poor but resilient hunter and a scholar, too weak to harm a chicken yet sharp-minded and thoughtful, begin their life under one roof.
It starts with a hot meal and a warm coat. As they spend day after day together, small acts of tenderness quietly take root. They clear land, farm, build a house, and go into business, facing natural disasters, human calamities, and everyday family troubles together, turning their hard lives into something richer and more enjoyable.
This is a story of two lonely souls who find warmth and support in each other amid mountains, rivers, and fields. Together, they build a cozy home and nurture a love that grows steadily over time.
