The Zhao family took in a live-in son-in-law named Zhou Mingyuan. He faced humiliation right at the wedding banquet and had rules laid down for him as soon as he entered the household. Yet instead of arguing with words, he set his sights on an unwanted saline-alkaline wasteland east of the village. While others mocked him for his wild imagination, he used homegrown methods, genuine skill, and sheer resilience to transform the barren land into fertile ground bit by bit. Can watermelons grow on the wasteland? Can Zhou Mingyuan secure his footing in the Zhao family? This battle for a turnaround has only just begun.
