After tumbling down a barren mountain, Li Tian'er meets Lu Sui'an, a quiet and dependable hunter.
She thought she had escaped the mistreatment of her birth family and could finally live in peace.
But her greedy foster mother listens to malicious gossip and secretly schemes against her at every turn. Rumors spread through the village, and bucket after bucket of filth is thrown her way.
Lu Sui'an has sharp, cold features and a wild streak, yet he saves all his tenderness for her.
Together, the couple reclaim wasteland and stockpile grain, weathering trouble and hardship. In these turbulent years of famine, they protect their little courtyard and stay by each other's side year after year.
