(A slice-of-life story with no transmigration or rebirth, interspersed with elements of household intrigue, farming, gourmet food, and life on the frontier.)
The female lead is a native of the ancient era, born and raised without any special advantages or “golden fingers.” Witness how Xie Linlang finds a way out of adversity and builds a vibrant and fulfilling life for herself.
Xie Linlang is the daughter of the Xie family, whose patriarch is the Vice Minister of Revenue. In a capital city teeming with nobility, she could be considered a young lady of high birth. However, fate dealt her a cruel hand; she was born to a concubine, and at the age of eight, her mother tragically died of consumption.
The main wife of the Xie family was a magnanimous and benevolent woman. Saying it was a pity for such a young child to lose her mother, she took the initiative to bring Linlang into her own courtyard to be raised alongside her own legitimate daughter, the eldest young lady, Xie Yurou.
Joining Xie Linlang was the second young lady, Xie Yujing, born to Concubine Hu. However, Xie Yujing had been sent to the main wife’s residence at Concubine Hu’s own behest.
