· The heroine was kidnapped at six and escaped home on her own at sixteen. Ten years in captivity made her a consummate fighter, skilled in hand-to-hand combat, evasion, close-quarters fighting, and wilderness survival. She is calm, patient, fiercely protective of her own, and not someone to cross.
· She awakens a personal space: a spiritual spring, ten thousand mu of spirit fields, and a temperature-controlled warehouse stocked with grain, medicine, fabric, farm tools, cash, and ration coupons. Time stands still inside, and nothing spoils.
· She looks slender and gentle, but is ruthless and decisive within. She is merciless to her enemies and soft-hearted with her family.
Male lead: Lu Zheng
· At seventeen, with his parents dead early and no one to keep him in line, he is the Hongqi Commune’s number-one delinquent. He fights dirty, runs fast, has a sharp tongue and a soft heart, and is possessive.
· He seems unruly but is loyal and has principles. He bows his head only to Su Wan, becoming her devoted guard dog and fiercely protective husband.
Later, Su Wan wins him over and sets him straight. He becomes her strongest support.
Setting: 1982, in the early days of reform and opening up. Rural work-point systems, scarce supplies, ration coupons, and simple country folk coexist with awful relatives and neighborhood feuds.
