Sang Zhixia was once a doctoral graduate in agricultural science with a promising future. After a fall, she becomes a miserable shu daughter forced into a substitute marriage! On her wedding day, the groom rushes into the bridal chamber and throws a Divorce Letter in her face.
But an imperial edict to confiscate their property follows close behind. Sang Zhixia can only watch helplessly as a eunuch, bribed by her di eldest sister, tears up the Divorce Letter that represented her freedom. With tears in her eyes, she embarks on a three-thousand-li journey of exile with her dandy husband.
The northwestern countryside is bitterly cold. The roof of their shed lets in the wind by day and the rain by night. To make matters worse, she also has to deal with a bunch of bizarre, pseudo-aristocratic relatives who can’t get used to their change in social status.
Life is so hard… But to survive, she must first farm. When it comes to tilling the land, sowing seeds, and getting rich, who could a distinguished agricultural science PhD possibly fear? The most delightful crops grow from the black soil of the northwest, and the most dazzling flowers bloom in the freezing winds.
As the bitter cold recedes, a spring breeze belonging solely to Sang Zhixia blows in.
But as she looks at her affectionate dandy husband, she’s bewildered: “Didn’t we agree I was just a substitute bride?” Why is he saying the white moonlight was me all along???
