Shen Xingye, the "Iron Lady" of venture capital, collapses from overwork. Waking up to the dried wild vegetables her late grandmother sun-dried—her childhood sweet, given after being wiped clean with an apron while squatting on field ridges—she goes incognito to a western Zhejiang village to find that taste. There, she stumbles into Lin Shen's garden, the "Wild Vegetable King": this man in rough cloth has turned wild greens into the village's treasure, and always smiles as he brushes dirt off her suit. When the investment bank calls her back to the battlefield, she stares at the muddy wild vegetables in her hand, tears welling—all those years climbing up, she lost not just wild vegetables, but the warmth that grounds her heart.
