After the divorce, he settled in Northwest China and became a Shennong (a legendary Chinese farmer).

On the day of his divorce, Gu Tong hit rock bottom. Left with no car, no house, no children, and barely any savings, a recruitment advertisement offering land and a homestead in the vast Northwest became his last resort. With nothing left to lose, Gu Tong packed his bags and embraced the quiet frontier beneath the snow-capped mountains. Armed with determination and an unexpected system, he set out to cultivate the rugged earth. What begins as a desperate escape soon transforms into a legendary agricultural journey: turning barren saline-alkali soil into lush pastures, breaking historical harvest records with his crops, and mastering farming techniques that astonish modern experts. From a broken-hearted divorcee to a revered modern-day Shennong, Gu Tong discovers that true wealth and peace are found not in the bustling city, but in the rich, endless soil of the Northwest.
