Coming soon: The Little Grass Girl's Rise to Prosperity

[Female Lead's Perspective]

With a father who didn't care for her and a mother who didn't love her, Jiang Xiaocao scraped by until she was fourteen.

A storm sent her far from home aboard a fishing boat, where she found a new family.

From the little fish and shrimp in the river to delicacies fit for the imperial dining table,

from the most ordinary medicinal herbs in the mountains to becoming the capital's biggest supplier of medicinal materials,

Jiang Xiaocao worked her way up, step by step, from a poor fisher girl to the capital's leading shopkeeper.

[Male Lead's Perspective]

Before meeting Jiang Xiaocao, Xie Yuanbao was just the most insignificant little beggar in a heap of mud.

His biggest concern each day was how to get his next meal.

But after meeting Xiaocao, he realized that life held all kinds of possibilities.

She pulled him out of the mud and gave him the name "Yuanbao."

"I hope you'll be rich and honored in the future, and never have to worry about money again."

But the girl didn't know that what he would strive for all his life

was not gold and silver, not fame or status.

It would always be that distant glimpse of a figure who seemed to glow.

"Though wildfires may burn it down, the spring breeze brings it back to life."
