The moment Shen Yueniang opens her eyes, she finds herself as an orphan in ancient times.
Her father is dead, her mother has run off with a peddler, and she's been left with a five-tael debt. Now the creditor is at the door to take her house.
The original owner was meek and only knew how to cry when bullied. Shen Yueniang says, "Can crying put food on the table?"
She rolls up her sleeves and heads for the hills. Spring bamboo shoots, mulberries, wild fruit, mushrooms... The ordinary mountain produce that others take for granted can all become delicious food in her hands.
Drunken bamboo shoots leave the county's wealthy patrons craving more. The maids from rich households scramble to buy her mulberry jam. Open a tea stall, and making a fortune every day is no dream.
The debt is paid, the house is fixed, and life is flourishing. Even the strong, taciturn hunter next door has started looking at her differently.
Shi Dun: "You're my betrothed. Of course I should manage the money I earn for you."
Shen Yueniang: "...When did I agree to marry you?"
Shi Dun: "The clan chief witnessed it. You can't deny it."
