Su He transmigrates to the 1970s, where she finds her birth family trying to sell her off to pay their debts. She is forced to take her younger sister’s place as the bride of Lu Yanchuan, a rough-hewn, disabled veteran.
The whole village expects her to fall into poverty and be dragged down by her in-laws.
Su He strikes back by signing a document severing ties with her bloodsucking family!
With no magic pocket dimension or lucky windfall, she relies on modern agricultural techniques to reclaim barren hills, improve poor soil, and grow specialty crops.
Toxic relatives won’t leave her alone? She kicks them out.
Villagers scheme against her? She won’t let them get away with it.
The gloomy, rough-hewn Lu Yanchuan, feared by everyone, is cold and distant to the outside world, but gives her his wholehearted support.
Old wounds and inner demons have trapped him for half his life, until Su He arrives and brings him warmth and light.
Together, the couple clear wasteland and work the fields, weather one crisis after another, and seize the opportunities of the times to carve out a path to prosperity in Qingshan Village.
Gold from barren earth, warmth in the evening breeze. After hardship comes sweetness, and year after year, they stay by each other’s side.
