share time: 2025-11-08 00:32:28

Li Aniu, a notorious "chubby fool" in the village, loses his parents to famine and has his only half-acre field seized by the landlord. Desperate, he stumbles upon a spring in the back mountain荒地 and decides to reclaim land to survive. He faces landlord harassment, locust plagues, and meets Su Wanqing, a talented woman fleeing an aristocratic forced marriage—she admires Aniu's honesty and helps him improve seeds and guard the fields. Together, they grow a thousand acres of rice in the famine, saving the village and earning respect from those who once mocked him. But when the aristocrat comes to take Su Wanqing, Aniu is no longer the soft target he was—with his wisdom and prestige from farming, he protects his love and the home he built with his hands.
