Shu Yan transmigrates into the body of a pitiful girl whose parents have both died. She has a little brother to care for, grandparents who don't lift a finger, and cruel uncle and aunt.

Her uncle and aunt want to sell her off to pay their son's gambling debts. She throws herself against a wall, winning the chance for herself and her brother to sever ties with the Shu family, but at the cost of twenty taels of silver.

She has no money, so she has no choice but to sell herself to Feng Jing'an, the village scholar, and become his little wife.

Feng Jing'an is brilliant at his studies but clueless about everyday life, and he's particularly pampered. The Feng family has only one house to shelter them from wind and rain.

The vegetable garden is overgrown, the fields lie fallow, the kitchen has not a single grain of rice, and there isn't even a pot, bowl, or ladle in sight.

Shu Yan is worried. They have nothing, her husband can't do a thing, and she has a frail little brother to raise. How are they supposed to survive?

She can only roll up her sleeves, clear the weeds, break new ground, plant crops, and earn money, working hard to make their lives better.

Fortunately, her husband Feng Jing'an proves himself worthy of her efforts. First he passes the county-level examination, then he keeps advancing until he becomes a local magistrate.

Some people look down on her, saying that Magistrate Feng's wife is a merchant who reeks of money.

Feng Jing'an beams with pride: "My wife is wonderful, my wife is amazing. There isn't a woman in the world better than my wife."
