After marriage and separation of the family, the two clear wasteland and hunt wild boars, get acquainted with wealthy merchant Li Bo, and get rich through herbs. Wu Tao, Wu Zhen, Zhao Jiaojiao, and Zhao Cheng repeatedly poison, destroy fields, adulterate, and seize land, all of which are seen through and counter-killed by Lin Yueru. In the end, the wicked suffer the consequences of their own actions, and the couple joins hands to lead the whole village in planting herbs to get rich, also burying the mystery of Wu Zheng's birth.
