The Corporate Drone Takes the Royal Seed to the Wasteland

After pulling an all-nighter revising a proposal at her 996 job, overworked office worker Su Qingyan suddenly dies. When she opens her eyes, she has become a peasant girl in ancient times, with a house bare of everything and a “sickly” husband, Xiao Jue. The original owner worked herself to death fleeing famine, leaving Su Qingyan with a mess that makes her want to cry: waist-high weeds cover three mu of poor farmland, greedy neighbors covet the family’s property, and grasping relatives show up to bleed them dry. In this desperate situation, Su Qingyan puts her modern skills to use. She applies workplace PowerPoint thinking to plan her farming, uses her chemistry knowledge to improve the soil, and relies on marketing to sell specialty produce. She gathers wild vegetables to make dumplings and sell at a stall, then designs new farming tools to boost efficiency. Before long, high-yield crops are growing in the wasteland, and their lives gradually begin to improve. But her “sickly” husband, Xiao Jue, grows increasingly strange. He knows military strategy, is nimble in a fight, and always seems to complement her modern ideas perfectly. When Su Qingyan earns her first fortune from greenhouse vegetables and draws the county magistrate’s ire, Xiao Jue suddenly reveals his true identity: he is actually a prince who was framed and forced to live among commoners! The revelation sends shockwaves through their lives, as pursuers and political enemies arrive one after another. With the resilience of an overworked office worker, Su Qingyan tackles each challenge as it comes. She uses modern agricultural technology to help Xiao Jue solve a military food crisis, and workplace negotiation tactics to settle court disputes. From a married couple struggling together to cultivate wasteland, they become allies standing side by side in a chaotic age, carving out a future of their own in ancient times.
