Lin Wanning, a top modern surgeon, sacrificed herself to save someone during an earthquake and unexpectedly transmigrated into the body of Su Qianyue, an unfavored concubine-born daughter of the Prime Minister’s household. She was also betrothed to Xiao Yihan, the Marquis Who Guards the Nation, a general paralyzed in bed by a deadly poison.
Everyone thought the crippled prince was beyond saving, but combining her modern medical knowledge with traditional medicine, Su Qianyue immediately identified the “Nine Netherworld Poison” in Xiao Yihan’s body. She navigated the Prime Minister’s family’s schemes, secured precious medicinal ingredients, and carefully prepared an antidote. She even forced the medicine down his throat, and at last the poison began to recede.
As she treated him, Su Qianyue restored the crumbling General’s Manor, outwitted a mole in the household, and investigated the missing funds. Meanwhile, Xiao Yihan was gradually moved by her intelligence and kindness, and love quietly blossomed between them. Together, they ventured into the streets and uncovered, from the tiniest clues, the traitorous official Wang Chengye, who had colluded with the enemy and betrayed his country. After protecting each other through life-and-death ordeals and countless dangers, they finally brought the truth to light and cleared Xiao Yihan’s name.
When the border was in danger, Xiao Yihan led the army into battle. Su Qianyue went with the troops, setting up a medical tent in the camp to treat the wounded and donning armor to defend the camp at a critical moment. After their triumphant return, they were showered with honors, but their hearts remained with the people. They opened the Benevolent Heart Clinic and established the Xinglin Academy, spreading compassion and medical skill throughout the land.
From supporting each other to devoting themselves to one another, Su Qianyue and Xiao Yihan weathered political intrigue and the upheavals of a troubled age, writing a sweet legend that began with saving a life and grew into love: two hearts together for a lifetime, and no one else.
