Du Ruo is just a sweeping maid in the outer courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion who eats too much, has too much strength, and is worthless.
The prime minister's daughter refused to marry Prince Heng Xiao Jiming, who was poisoned and had both legs disabled, so Du Ruo was pushed into a sedan chair and died for her.
On the wedding night, Xiao Jiming saw through her identity at a glance, but did not reveal her identity. He only asked: "Can you cook?"
Yes.
So, two people who had both been abandoned started a business to save each other's lives.
She is responsible for feeding the prince, and he is responsible for blocking the troubles in the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Imperial City for her. Unexpectedly, an imperial edict drove them to a deserted village on the border.
The dilapidated house is leaking, the food supply is at the bottom, there are only two servants left, and there is not even a pot.
Du Ruo demolished the door panels, built the stove, dug up the wasteland, and started from a pot of gruel to make this village, which was despised by everyone, into a home bit by bit.
She also discovered that she could understand the murmurs of cats, dogs, mice and birds - she just couldn't control them.
While Xiao Jiming was looking for a way out for her, he quietly deleted himself from her future.
Until old blood from the previous dynasty, real and fake daughters, palace poisoning bureaus and border wars came one after another.
This time, they don't just want to survive.
They have to keep a house, a piece of land, and the person who leaves food for them every day.
