Ren Kai only wanted a quiet plant some tomatoes, raise a few crabs, maybe hold Chu Meiyun’s hand under the grape arbor. Instead, he somehow ended up leasing ten greenhouses, raising an army of overfed sparrows as his security guards, and turning river crabs into monsters big enough to need a bolt-cutter just to eat.
Between negotiating with hotel heirs, humbling shady antique dealers with his Spiritual Qi, and coaxing his parents not to panic every time he spends “too much money,” Ren Kai’s so-called farm style life is anything but. Still, the fields grow greener, the vegetables sweeter, and his relationship with Meiyun blossoms into something as real as the soil beneath his feet.
Of course, every idyllic farm life hides its weeds. For every neighbor who cheers him on, there’s a rival scheming in the shadows. And while Ren Kai might laugh off fake walnuts and corrupt chefs, even he can feel it—the world is bigger, stranger, and far more dangerous than his little mountain village lets on.
