Lin Zhiyi, a PhD in agricultural science, transmigrates one day and becomes an orphaned girl fleeing famine, sold off for two sacks of moldy rice. While everyone else fleeing famine chews on clay and grows so hungry they can barely see straight, she puts her expertise to work, breeding hybrid wild vegetables to solve the food shortage and using ecological methods to stop the locust plague. Against all odds, she turns a desperate situation into a farming operation.
When the news reaches the emperor, he is so astonished that he personally comes to beg her for the secret to high yields. But she turns to her prince husband beside her, troubled. “My Farming System was only meant to help me survive. I never expected it to cause such a commotion. How about... handing it over to the state?”
