[Quick Guide]

1. To be clear, this is not a matriarchal or female-led story. It's about a young couple supporting each other and leveling up as they struggle to earn a living.

2. The heroine will ascend the throne. Whether the hero or heroine becomes emperor depends on who is better suited and what the situation calls for. The couple rules the empire together.

3. Farming and everyday life. Both leads grow over time and have their flaws.

4. Dual perspectives. The male lead farms and builds up the country in the early story, so his perspective is more prominent then. Later, the heroine rides out to conquer territory, so her perspective takes the lead.

5. There are countless great stories on Jinjiang. If this one isn't for you, just move on. Please don't come to the comments to insult the author. It wastes everyone's time and energy.
