Bai Lan had just finished a girl group survival show and successfully debuted. Then a photo of her waiting outside an actor's home went viral, and the whole internet turned against her.

Burdened with a five-million-yuan breach-of-contract penalty, Bai Lan leaves the entertainment industry and returns to Phoenix Village, where her maternal grandparents live.
Phoenix Village lies between the sea and the mountains. Its people are blessed, and it's famous across Qizhou in Zhongxia for its long-lived residents.
While digging for bamboo shoots on her family's mountain, Bai Lan falls and bumps into a piece of jade.
The jade contains spiritual energy. With its help, Bai Lan grows vegetables and fruit, raises chickens and rabbits, and cooks delicious food.
She livestreams her farming, mountain hikes, beachcombing, and product sales. Her little business flourishes, and she helps the village elders find buyers for their agricultural products.

A top-tier star boy band comes to the mountains to film, and they eat nothing but her home-cooked meals for all three meals a day.
The disgraced actor comes to his senses and writes a ten-thousand-word apology just to get a taste of the creamy little strawberries in her garden.
The moms and aunties in her livestream chat love to drop by the Phoenix Village farmstay for a meal with their friends.
The dads and uncles even hold business meetings on the little beach in Phoenix Village!
What no one could have imagined was that one of these fatherly fans was actually her biological father!
And her biological father was a world-famous mega-billionaire!
Waaah, why did I only find out I was a rich heiress after making so much money myself!

Reporter: Are you still single?
Bai Lan: Single. Busy getting rich. Don't ask!

#After leaving showbiz, I worked hard to get rich, and helped Phoenix Village get rich too#
#I'm a rich heiress, but I'm out here selling vegetables in the countryside. It's so hard, I can barely keep count of the money in my bank account#

Reader's Guide:
1. A goofy story about working hard to make money. The female lead only cares about making money, money, money, money.
2. She doesn't become a celebrity, but she is an influencer. She livestreams, posts videos, and occasionally acts in guest roles (very rarely).
3. The countryside is the main setting: farming, opening a private restaurant, food processing, farmstays, and tourism development.
4. A spiritual-energy golden finger: anything infused with spiritual energy boosts health and lifts your spirits when eaten.
5. The female lead is straightforward and kind, a hopelessly oblivious woman with a tiny bit of a delay, and hopeless at romance.
6. It's a silly, feel-good story with no particular logic. Hahaha, don't hate on it. If you do, you're right!
