Tang Ye Returns Home

Su Wantang, the legitimate daughter of a marquis's household, grows weary of the scheming and infighting in the inner courtyards of the nobility. She resolutely gives up her life of luxury and fine clothing, bids farewell to the marquis's estate, and heads to the countryside to settle down. Arriving at Qingxi Village, she must face a dilapidated old house, natural disasters, the suspicions of the villagers, and gossip and criticism—yet she remains resilient and unyielding throughout, clearing wasteland and farming with her own two hands and mastering the craft of making pickled vegetables to earn a living. Along the way she meets Lu Yan, a kindred spirit, and the two support each other, working hand in hand to weather business turmoil and treating their neighbors with sincerity and kindness. Faced with the lingering ties of her old estate in the capital, Su Wantang makes peace with the knots of her past. Unattached to vanity and true to herself, she finds warmth and stability amid the smoke and fire of pastoral life, living out a free and easy life of her own.
