Su Wanwan, a graduate student at a modern agricultural university, transmigrates one day into a political intrigue novel as the disposable legal wife of the deposed crown prince, exiled alongside him to a barren wasteland.
In the original story, the deposed crown prince, Xiao Changyuan, endures endless torment in exile, undergoes a drastic change in temperament, and is eventually rescued by a loyal minister. He turns ruthless, takes revenge, and ascends the throne.
Unable to bear the hardship, the original owner elopes with someone and is ultimately sold into a brothel, where she dies a miserable death.
Looking at the desolate, godforsaken mountain before her and the future tyrant beside her, whose legs have been broken and who barely speaks, Su Wanwan decides to grow crops and feed herself before she gets killed off, then look for a chance to escape.
Who could have guessed that her fields would keep growing, her business would keep booming, and the future tyrant would look at her in increasingly unsettling ways?
