Shen Zhixia is the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Zhenbei's household. Framed by her half-sister, she is driven from her home and nearly dies giving birth in the mountains.
As they flee on a stormy night, mother and daughter stumble into a cave and find fragments of an agricultural manual from a previous dynasty, setting them on the path to farming their way to success.
She is blessed with lucky fortune and escapes disaster every month. Her son, Xiaoman, was born with a blessed constitution: his cries make bees pollinate the crops, and his laughter makes the plants ripen.
They reclaim wasteland, irrigate with spirit spring water, brew wine, and make medicine. Before long, their mountain life begins to bring in gold.
Her former enemies keep trying to bring her down, but she strikes back against them all with her intelligence and good fortune. At last, she returns to the Marquis's household with a royal decree and uncovers the secrets of her birth.
From abandoned wife to farming goddess, mother and son use their own hands to sow a legend that will last a hundred years.
