✨ Story Summary
Zhao Xiaochun, a pig-raising girl, takes on a task from the Lu family to “bear a child for the sick young master” in order to earn three hundred taels of silver and a pig farm. However, she finds that the frail Lu Yanzhi resists all closeness. On the night she discusses a “backup plan” with a local young man, Lu Yanzhi unexpectedly initiates intimacy. When Zhao Xiaochun becomes pregnant and believes she can secure her status through the child, she hears news of Lu Yanzhi’s impending marriage and senses danger. This transaction, begun for mutual benefit, hides far more secrets than she imagined.
✨ Character Introductions

Zhao Xiaochun: A straightforward, practical girl from the countryside, skilled in daily tasks and chosen by the Lu family for her reputed fertility. Initially motivated by money and the pig farm, she gradually develops feelings for Lu Yanzhi. When danger arises, she decisively escapes and eventually establishes her own ranch in Wuzhou—a woman who dares to love and hate, staying true to herself.

Lu Yanzhi: Young master of the wealthy Lu family in Liangzhou, outwardly frail and gentle, yet deeply thoughtful, patient, and cunning. Having been targeted by his stepmother’s schemes, he selects Zhao Xiaochun not only to secure an heir but also out of love at first sight. Protective in his own way, he ultimately abandons some of his power to live on the grasslands, remaining by her side—a soft exterior masking a calculating heart.

Madam Lu (Stepmother): Lu Yanzhi’s stepmother, ambitious and treacherous. She schemes to control the Lu family fortune, even poisoning Lu Yanzhi and using Zhao Xiaochun for her own ends. Her plans exposed, she falls from power—a key antagonist driving the story’s conflict.

Yun Feng: Son of Yun, the Wuzhou ranch owner. Honest, passionate, and straightforward, he admires Zhao Xiaochun’s talent and character, teaching her to ride and pursuing her sincerely. Though rejected, he genuinely wishes her well—a warm, sunny presence on the grasslands.

Lu Nianchun: Son of Zhao Xiaochun and Lu Yanzhi. Active, clever, and lively, he grows up on the grasslands. Though mischievous, he is sensible and serves as a vital emotional link between his parents, helping Zhao Xiaochun experience the softer side of motherhood.
