In the troubled times of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, floods destroyed the village. Lin Zhihe, a young girl, carried half a bag of wheat seeds and carried out her grandmother's last wish, embarking on a lonely journey across Qingchuan in search of fertile soil. She uses farming skills as a tool to teach the refugees to raise seedlings in the mountains, revive fertile fields in deserted towns, and use a seedling to light up hope in desperate situations; she encounters Jiang Chuan, the son of a fisherman who has a family feud.
Crossing dangerous rivers, fighting mountain bandits, overcoming suspicions, and building homes, Lin Zhihe led everyone to reclaim wasteland, build water conservancy projects, and transform the barren land on the south bank into a new village where people can live and work in peace and contentment. There is no earth-shattering plot in the story, but only the gift of land and the glimmer of humanity; there is no passionate love, but there is a two-way rush of "you grow the grain, and I protect the country."
Follow the footsteps of Lin Zhihe and Jiang Chuan, and see ordinary people using perseverance as the seed and protection as the soil in troubled times, allowing hope to take root and sprout, and watching for peace in the wind and rain.
