But he followed her anyway, which in the end cause his legs to get worse, and pretty much meant double the work for her as she had to take him down and the heavy food and come back another day

So sad when both of FL and ML had to ran away because she was accused as devil and about to be burnt by villagers

i was a bit confused, though, when FL told other people about this to shooing them away. Like, isn't it like a supersecret secret? Why you tell everyone that easily?!

The novel itself is plainly written, a very slowly moving slice of life, no cheats, just two poor teenagers married to each other trying to not starve to death, not to freeze to death, not to be burned on stake to death. Just because the transmigrated FL introduced a new crop, potatoes and saved lives in the midst of locust invasion and famine, but never mentioned about how to prevent solanine poisoning. So within days there was a death from eating green potato in the village.

Both the FL and the ML are very likeable characters with nice personalities, good brains and a beautiful love story which is actually at the center of that plotline.

She is a physician by trade and he is, unfortunately, a prince. They never really grew roots in that small village which never became a home for either of them, both of them being orphans, having no attachments, nor possessions, they flee that place together when the mob accused the FL of being a witch in ch 166. They flee that godforsaken rural place to a faraway town in ch 172 after the ML who is far from being a weak scholar, he is a superb martial artist, flies in and saves the FL. So, that is the end of the first arc.

Second arc is their hand painted silk business in town, and becoming big landowners in order to reinvest earnings from silk sales, buying their first mansion and s*aves (heartbreaking scenes of children selling themselves or being sold by their parents...). Someone malicious in the capital recognises six petaled plum flowers on silk cloth as the signature trademark of the ML who had been missing for a while. The ML was painting six petals on plum flowers since he was a child.

From chapter 286 on, once the ML's evil brother discovers his whereabouts and the FL's empoverished parents, now that she is wealthy, found her and want to reconnect, the novel loses its mild, nice character of easy life, good people, good business. The ML ruthlessly kills several FL's relatives (to protect her), tells the FL that he is Second Prince of Bai Kingdom and more difficult times begin because now they are too wealthy and too noticeable and noble families from the capital want a cut of their cash flow. Extreme cruelty is depicted.
