Unlike other books, the female lead doesn't run her business secretly. She takes a different approach, leading the whole village in the business. She not only makes money but also wins people's hearts. The male lead is someone she married into the family for 200 yuan. He's a homebody, a former researcher who's good at inventing. 2.
