[Slow Pace] [Female-Oriented Farming] [System Space] [Single Male Lead]
Yun Shu was the youngest assistant researcher at the provincial academy of agricultural sciences. The day she transmigrated into a peasant girl during a famine, the original owner had already starved to death on the ridge of her family's field.
The original owner's parents were both dead, leaving behind an elderly grandmother and a twelve-year-old younger brother, as well as three mu of poor farmland. Two mu were saline-alkali soil where everything planted grew a crust of salt.
On the day she arrived, she bound herself to a Spirit Spring Space: three drops a day, and every crop she managed to grow would double the space.
Yun Shu glanced at the thin porridge in her bowl, watery enough to reflect her face, then at the cracked, saline earth before her. She said, "First, I'll farm."
The villagers all waited to laugh at her. During a famine, even able-bodied men were fleeing to find food. What could a seventeen-year-old girl possibly grow?
But her vegetables matured in seven days. When the apothecary tried to slash her price in half, she countered point by point on quality, age, and medicinal effects, leaving him speechless. The grain merchant's daughter bought everything on the spot at double the price.
County Registrar Zhou Wenyuan was consumed with envy. He sent people to steal her soil, water, and seeds and took them back to study, but they learned nothing.
So Zhou Wenyuan changed tactics. Claiming "there's a problem with the land deed," he tried to take her land back.
He searched through every record in Qingyang County, overlooking just one thing:
The land deed in Yun Shu's hands bore the seal of the Marquis of Zhenbei's residence.
And what Zhou Wenyuan knew even less was that the Spirit Spring in Yun Shu's space could now irrigate a second granary.
