In the forty-three years of Wanli's reign, in Qinggeng Village in northern Jiangsu, a peasant girl, Shen Qinghe, was living in poverty. Her husband, Lin Yan, became disabled and dementia due to an attack by bandits, and was regarded as a "fool." After an accident, Lin Yan suddenly woke up and claimed to be Lin Yan, an agricultural engineer who traveled through time in 2023 and was possessed here due to an experimental accident.
Shen Qinghe was dubious at first, but Lin Yan gradually won trust by using modern agricultural technology to transform dry land, plant high-yielding sweet potatoes, make sesame candy, and improve looms. Shen Qinghe used wisdom and tenacity to conceal his identity, resolve disputes, and support innovation. Lin Yan also went from being out of place to integrating into the countryside, leading the villagers to fight the drought and get rich, build schools and workshops, and feed back the land.
The two fought side by side in drought, oppression by powerful people and conflicts of ideas. She protects her homeland with ancient survival wisdom, and he breaks through with scientific knowledge. From strangers to acquaintances, from self-rescue to progress together, they completed each other's redemption and deep love.
This is a two-way journey across time and space. There is no unilateral rescue, only mutual illumination. In the soil of Qinggeng Village, they have planted a peaceful world where technology and warmth coexist.
