Full of Smoke

Luo Xiaoan, a doctor from a famous university, gave up his teaching position and went to Mantang Village in northern Guangdong. In the smoke in the mountains, he met Zheng Yue, a girl who protects the intangible cultural heritage craftsmanship. The two fell in love at first sight and met to renovate the ancient village, revitalize the old houses, tea mountains and traditional handicrafts, and work together to create a characteristic cultural tourism village. Starting a business is difficult every step of the way. With funds in short supply and infrastructure blocked, Gu Yu, the daughter of a family friend, brought resources into the game and spent ten years waiting for the marriage contract that the two families had tacitly agreed to. A family debt crisis suddenly struck, with a shortfall of 50 million pushing the Luo family to the brink of collapse. The Gu family made a condition: marriage and an investment of 100 million. Luo's mother Xia Xin knelt down and begged Zheng Yue to let go. Zheng Yue couldn't bear to drag down her lover, so she went away to a foreign country without any news. Luo Xiaoan refused to exchange marriage for salvation, sold his property and moved his family to Mantang Village. Her mother, Xia Xin, has transformed from a noble lady of Xiguan into a pastoral anchor with millions of fans. She sells goods to pay off debts and revitalize the village's intangible heritage industry. His career was successful, but Luo Xiaoan was empty for three years. He traveled deep into the mountains in search of the person, and finally met Zheng Yue on the podium in a dilapidated primary school. Thousands of words turned into one sentence: "You have lost weight." The mountains of tea hide deep feelings, and the fireworks show the original intention. There is the hard work and passion for rural revitalization, the warmth and inheritance of intangible cultural heritage skills, and the most heart-wrenching part of love - it's not that you don't love, it's that you can't love. There is no flat good or evil in the book: Zheng Yue never relies on others, Gu Yu is sober and relieved, and her mother Xia Xin is also full of pain. The protagonists do not rely on compromise in exchange for shortcuts. They each survive the ordeal of separation, stick to their ideals and sincerity through hard work, and wait for a happy reunion among the tea mountains and smoke.
