Lin Wanqiu, the concubine of a tea merchant in the capital, married into the prince's house as an abandoned concubine to celebrate the death of Lord Shen Yan, who was seriously ill. Staying alone in her empty house for three years, she silently studied the ancient tea books left by her mother and developed a unique tea-making skill. However, she only received a disparagement from her husband for "too much craftsmanship", which was in stark contrast to the meticulous care she gave to her cousin Su Waner.
During the dispute over the tea ceremony at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, the lost tea products that were carefully restored in late autumn were subcontracted and destroyed in public. Shen Yanzhi sneered in public: "If I had known this, it would be better to let Wan'er prepare it." Frustrated, she handed over a piece of paper and a letter of departure, resolutely left the Hou Mansion, rented a mountain field and started over.
With her photographic memory, the secrets of ancient books and her original "tea making method based on the four solar terms", the tea she grew made a sensation in the capital. With the help of Wenrun tea merchant Ji Qingfeng, she jointly founded the "Late Autumn Tea House" and became world-famous with her series of twenty-four solar terms tea.
And when Shen Yanzhi personally tasted the "Frost Pekoe" that he had despised at the imperial tea party, he was shocked to realize that the fragrance of the soothing tea that had been in his study for the past three years, the medicinal and dietary prescriptions he quietly prepared during his illness, and even the miracle of his recovery from a serious illness, all came from those hands that he had never looked at.
The abandoned concubine in the past has become the royal "Tea Fragrance Lady", but he put aside his figure as a marquis and clumsily learned the art, burning his hands with blisters, just to hold a cup of tea he made for her to taste. She lowered her eyes and whispered: "The fire is still lacking, but the intention can be learned."
From the abandoned daughter of a noble family to the world's tea master, her value does not need to be defined by anyone. This time, it's his turn to travel across mountains and rivers to learn how to love someone who is truly worthy.
