Their marriage begins as an obligation, yet gradually opens the door to genuine affection. Ellie’s remarkable luck in the mountains brings her rare mushrooms and ancient ginseng, giving the struggling family a chance to prosper. As their fortunes improve, she grows from a pitied bride into a confident woman with a powerful place in the camp.
