    The female protagonist, Lin Jie, is a cog in the machine, discarded by urban development. The male protagonist, He Jianshen, is a true young master from a mining family, driving an SUV and wearing an expensive watch. One relies on her intuition about the land, the other uses cutting-edge technology to build the Smart Shennong System, together transforming a poor mountain village into a popular, prosperous one! On a frosty night at -7°C, she risks her life to retrieve twelve priceless mother plants, and the agricultural miracle begins here! The jade pendant in Lin Jie's palm is burning hot as she snatches a sliver of life from the jaws of death. This is a two-way race between land and technology, and also a pastoral idyll of passionate entrepreneurship. [Friendly Reminder] The first 29 chapters lay the foundation for the entrepreneurial journey, and the 30th chapter, "The Frosty Night," marks the beginning of a series of explosive climaxes. Reading this is definitely worthwhile!

    A lighthearted, humorous ancient-era time-travel story featuring farming and infrastructure development. The writing style is rustic, the female lead isn't naive, and it's incredibly relaxing and stress-relieving. No romantic pairing, no system, no cheat codes, and no spatial abilities. Highly recommended for those who enjoy this genre!
