Shen Banxia, the last direct disciple of the former dynasty's Grand Minister of Agriculture, possesses cutting-edge modern agricultural knowledge. Caught in political infighting at court, she is exiled to the remote Yunshui Village. As soon as she arrives, the powerful heir of a marquis's household publicly breaks off their engagement. Everyone expects this fallen noblewoman to kneel and beg for mercy. Instead, she immediately signs the agreement to end the engagement and boldly trades her last two acres of prime paddy fields for a barren, rocky hillside that everyone despises. What others see as worthless wasteland, she recognizes as a priceless treasure trove of fertile black soil.
