Shen Qingci, a modern food scientist, opens her eyes to find herself a farm girl in ancient times. No sooner has she escaped from a burlap sack than her aunt tries to sell her as a second wife to a sixty-year-old landowner. Her family considers her a burden, and her fiancé thinks she's ugly. Faced with such a desperate situation, Shen Qingci lets out a cold laugh. With fermentation techniques in one hand and the art of seed cultivation in the other, she starts with a moldy bean and creates delicacies fit for the gods, then cultivates thousands of acres of fertile farmland. Those who once bullied, humiliated, and betrayed her will eventually kneel before her vast fortune and look up at the legend that is Shen Qingci.
