Set in the fictional ancient Great Jing Dynasty, where agriculture is prized over commerce and aristocratic families place great importance on lineage and the distinction between legitimate and concubine-born children. The heroine, Lin Wanxing, comes from a modern agricultural university and is skilled in modern farming techniques and business management. The hero, Gu Yanci, is the heir of the prestigious Gu family in the capital. Outwardly gentle, aloof, and sickly, he is actually meticulous and quietly making plans. He has withdrawn to the countryside to avoid a family power struggle.
Lin Wanxing
Before transmigrating, she was a modern agricultural technician: independent, practical, capable, resilient, and adaptable. After transmigrating, she becomes a concubine-born daughter of the Lin family. Her original self was timid and weak, bullied by others. Her birth mother died young, her father ignored her, and her stepmother and legitimate elder sister withheld food and clothing, leaving her in dire straits.
Gu Yanci
The heir of the Gu family is slender and refined in appearance, often dressed in plain robes. He seems indifferent to worldly affairs, but secretly keeps a close eye on rural life and has access to considerable connections and resources. Due to his health, he is temporarily staying at a villa in the outskirts of the city. He happens upon Lin Wanxing’s “unusual” qualities and is drawn to her resilience and intelligence, quietly offering her help.
