A life of round-the-clock work in her previous life, now backbreaking farm labor.
Lu Qingqing dies from overwork and wakes up as the legitimate daughter of a general’s household, framed and exiled. Her grandmother is gravely ill, her little brother is frail, and the family lives in a drafty mud hut with barely enough food to get through the day.
No problem. She used to work in the vegetable supply chain, and this fertile southern land is her new workplace.
She builds greenhouses, grows out-of-season vegetables, opens a hotpot restaurant, and starts a clothing shop. What others see as a barren wasteland becomes a money-printing machine in her hands.
But there’s something off about the hunter who’s always helping her with the work.
Then one night, the neighboring kingdom’s prince arrives with his retinue kneeling across the entire mountainside. Standing before her, he says:
“I don’t want the throne. Just save me a share in the hotpot restaurant.”
Years later, people in both kingdoms say, “That woman from the Lu family grew vegetables and built a business empire.”
