Lin Xiaoman, a destitute peasant farmer, barely scrapes by on a small patch of infertile land. One day, he receives a notice from the county yamen: the imperial court has launched a welfare marriage policy, distributing brides to single farmers according to their household registration. Thinking he would get a plain rural girl, he instead receives a scarred former general's wife hiding a shocking secret. Forced into a contract marriage, Lin just wants to muddle through, but he ends up opening up wastelands, improving farming tools with his wife, turning barren land into granaries, uncovering the conspiracy that framed the general's family, and rising from a village farmer to a respected local gentry while gaining true love.
