Working from dawn to dusk in the fields isn't frightening.
What's frightening is losing your freedom and becoming a hereditary servant on a farm.
Overnight, Yan Wu became a hereditary servant on a farm owned by the wealthy and powerful Ding'an Marquis household. She felt utterly miserable.
She lived in a low mud hut dug into the fields and ate coarse rice and tree roots.
Most importantly, she had no future at all.
They worked all year long and could barely keep themselves fed and clothed.
Even with the memories of two lifetimes, Yan Wu was a hero without a discerning patron, unable to put her talents to use.
All she could do was struggle in the dirt day after day alongside the older generation.
To make matters worse, the Ding'an Marquis died, and his estate was about to be divided up. Everyone on the farm was terrified.
At that moment, the widowed mother and orphaned child of the Marquis household's third branch inherited the farm.

and set off for the estate with his mother and all their belongings.
Xiao Boyan had planned to die young, but later discovered
that he was living longer and better than ever.
