During the Jinghe period of the Dayin Dynasty, the trend of focusing on agriculture and suppressing business prevailed. Lin Wanfu, the youngest daughter of the Lin family in a fishing village in the south of the Yangtze River, was exterminated because her family embezzled official money. Only she was rescued by her aunt and struggled to survive in the market. Above the court, the old and new parties are fighting fiercely, and there are undercurrents of forces from all sides.
After the Lin family was wiped out, Lin Wanfu married Shen Zhaoci, who was suffering from a hidden illness, to repay her kindness. On their wedding night, she discovered that her husband was not as weak as he appeared. Faced with the difficulties caused by her husband's family and the calculations of the court forces, Lin Wanfu relied on her medical and organizational skills to resolve the crisis, and also helped Shen Zhao resign from the imperial examination and become an official. As their relationship heats up, they work together to uncover the truth behind the Lin family's annihilation. Accompanied by Lin Wanfu, Shen Zhaoci gradually realizes his ambition, from a scholar to the chief minister of the court, and the couple writes a legendary life together.
