Her husband Xin Yan is wholeheartedly devoted to her, and Cheng Jungui has just one thought: This time, let me protect you. [Xin Yan's Story] Xin Yan is the only military officer in a family of scholars. As a child, he fell for Cheng Jungui, the youngest daughter of the Cheng family, over a single osmanthus candy.

At eighteen, he risked the death penalty for deceiving the emperor to bring the girl he loved home as his beautiful bride. But their happy days didn't last. Villains turned their friends and family against them, and a lawsuit dragged them into court. Both the Xin and Cheng families fell into ruin. On the day he died, Xin Yan could see neither his parents nor his closest friend, and least of all the wife he held in his heart. He was unexpectedly reborn, with everything back at the beginning.

She has to raise her younger brother and sister. At the time, the village is so poor that even thieves leave money behind when they pass through. Crows fly overhead and call it an ill omen. And Ning Cen, who looks like she could be blown over by a breeze, is one of the few able-bodied workers left in the village. Ning Cen: ??? When Heaven is about to entrust someone with a great task, it first gives them a golden finger. With the farm game System that came along when she transmigrated, Ning Cen clears wasteland, grows crops, repairs mountain roads, and builds a school. Along the way, she hires a handsome man with incredible martial arts skills as her bodyguard. Later, the bodyguard goes from guarding her to entering her bedroom and becoming her groom. One day, an inspection team from the capital arrives. They think they've been forced into the assignment, but the moment they get there, they're stunned by the flourishing sights. They rub their eyes and flip through their records, unable to believe this is the "backwater wilderness" they know. When they step into Ning Cen's courtyard, they see the man they remember as the mighty, ruthless Regent sitting obediently on a little stool, shelling chestnuts. Then the woman beside him, reclining on a chaise and reading a storybook, says sweetly: "Shell them carefully. If you ruin them, I won't eat them."
