Shen Jin, a graduate student at an agricultural university, transmigrates into the body of a poor farm girl. Her family has nothing, her father is ill, her mother is frail, and her awful relatives are waiting to bleed her dry.
Luckily, she has a Divine Farmer's Space with her: a spirit spring, fertile soil, and accelerated time. Whatever she plants grows in abundance.
When her first batch of bok choy sells for the astronomical price of thirty copper coins a jin, she crouches on the ground to count her money, grinning from ear to ear.
A sickly young man lives at the neighboring estate. He's handsome but surly, and when she delivers vegetables, he greets her with a cold face.
Only later does she learn he's the heir of a marquis's household from the capital, poisoned and fallen on hard times. The officials across the court all want him dead.
He offers her the entire marquis's household as his bride price, begging her to share a sip of the spirit spring from her space.
Shen Jin counts on her fingers. “You can have some spirit spring, but you have to help me deal with my awful relatives, fend off admirers, and look after the kids while you're at it.”
The man coughs up blood and smiles. “Deal.”
Later, his poison is cured, he reclaims his military power, and he almost gets the throne. But when it comes to her, he still plays the rascal: “I'll look after the kids, but you have to marry me first.”
