Shen Mengxi, the legitimate daughter of the Marquis’s household, is framed by her half-sister and fiancé for colluding with the enemy, stripped of her status, and exiled. Bandits ambush her on the way, but she is rescued by Ling Feng, a fallen war god who is being exiled along the same route. In the bitter cold of the frontier, she unexpectedly awakens the power to make plants grow. She coaxes crops from frozen soil and heals wounds with medicinal herbs. The war god recovers from his old injuries and takes command of the army once more, his iron cavalry smashing through enemy lines. She secretly builds a network of trade routes and informants, gathering proof of their crimes. When he arrives at the city gates with his army, her scoundrel ex-fiancé and half-sister will be on their knees begging for mercy. She smiles faintly. “My crops raised my king.” Two strong leads who dote on each other, with satisfying twists from beginning to end. She thinks she’s just farming, never realizing she has already laid a deadly trap.
