I Quit My Job and Went Back to the Village to Farm, Then the Mayor Set His Sights on Me

A medical report flagging her dangerously high heart rate pronounces the death sentence on Mu Yao's career. Struggling to keep up with her credit card payments and exorbitant rent, she watches her urban dream shatter completely. Carrying her only piece of luggage, a Pixiu pendant she picked up at a street stall, she flees back to the southern mountain village she had always wanted to escape.

But this is where fate takes a turn. A drop of blood awakens the pendant and leads her into a hidden realm she can carry with her: a bubbling spirit spring, fertile black soil, and immortal ginseng and lingzhi mushrooms growing on their own. This long-awaited golden finger is the only lifeline she has in her darkest hour.

She thinks her story will be nothing more than farming, retiring in peace, and quietly making a fortune. That is, until the refined and noble mayor, sent to the countryside for experience, starts showing up in her life again and again by “coincidence.”
