Wen Ruo, a farm girl who gains weight even from drinking water, was sold by her adoptive parents for a single coin to serve as a prop for traveling performers. Unable to afford to keep her, they abandoned her in the wilderness, where she accidentally fell to her death.
In her previous life, she was an old maid with exceptional skills in integrated Chinese and Western medicine. After drowning, she transmigrates into the body of the overweight Wen Ruo. Unable to accept the vast difference between her past and present lives, she tries to end her life in every way she can think of. Just as she is about to throw herself into a river, she rescues Hua Yan, a handsome young man with a disabled leg.
Both are fallen souls, and it turns out they are both abandoned members of the imperial family. After meeting, they support each other and persevere through hardship, ultimately winning the realm.
