Hue of Buckwheat in Deep Woods

Hue of Buckwheat in Deep Woods Plot:

Su Qiao, a botany博士, returns to her late grandmother's mountain village to search for the endangered wild golden buckwheat, only to be firmly blocked by Gu Shen, the forest ranger, who forbids her from approaching her grandmother's former buckwheat field. Gu Shen's wariness hides a 20-year-old secret—little Gu Shen, who got lost in the woods, was saved by Qiao's grandmother, who taught him to recognize buckwheat and said, "This forest is waiting for someone to take the buckwheat home." When Qiao finds her grandmother's notebook with Gu Shen's childhood photo among the buckwheat flowers, and when genetic testing confirms that this golden buckwheat is the last seed source preserved by her grandmother, they finally understand: Gu Shen was guarding not just his grandmother's last wish, but also the intention of waiting for "her" to come back; what Qiao was looking for wasn't just buckwheat, but the "unspoken concern" her grandmother hid in the woods.
