Character setup: On the surface, he's gentle and understanding, but in truth, he's a cunning, flirtatious beauty of a man. In the early stages, he's honest and blindly devoted to his family; later, he's devoted only to his husband, a rugged man who protects his wife.
Plot: Face-slapping and personal growth, with farming as the main focus.
Mu Jin lives in the Mu family village in Qingshui Town, under the Qi Dynasty. When he was three, his mother couldn't take his father's beatings anymore and ran off with a traveling peddler.
His father married a new husband and had another son, growing to resent Mu Jin even more for being the child from his first marriage who had brought him so much shame.
Life at home grew increasingly difficult for Mu Jin. His stepfather was a great actor who treated every moment of life like a scene on a stage. The people of Mu family village all thought he was a good man who treated Mu Jin no worse than his own son.
And so Mu Jin grew up, reaching the age of eighteen and the time to marry.
To protect the reputation he'd spent years cultivating, his stepfather didn't pick a lame, blind, or old man for him to marry. Instead, he chose an honest, dutiful man who was very devoted to his family.
Mu Jin had thought his stepfather had finally treated him well after all these years of pretending. He'd met the man, too, and found him handsome and powerfully built. He was quite pleased.
But after the wedding, he learned that this man was the family's workhorse. He never complained, yet no one in his family had a kind word for him.
Mu Jin was furious. He might not have learned much else during all those years with the Mu family, but he'd picked up every bit of his stepfather's cunning charm. Since he was already married, and his husband did have some good qualities, he'd just have to see how he could change this blindly devoted man!
You expect me to do laundry, cook, and serve your whole family? No way!
Your elder brother-in-law is pregnant, so you want me to wait on him? Dream on!
Mu Jin schemed to split the household, but his mother-in-law still wouldn't leave them alone, and Zhou Lin kept doing endless chores just as before.
Now that we'd split the household, they still look down on my husband and treat him like a workhorse? Just watch me use my charms to win his whole heart!
Zhou Lin had never been loved and didn't know what love was. Wrapped in Mu Jin's affection, he gradually escaped the cage of self-doubt his family had put him in.
From careful scheming at first to offering his true heart, he endured until they could split the household. Together, the married couple worked hard, and their lives grew better and more prosperous by the day.
