When she opens her eyes, medical doctorate Su Niantang has become a newlywed bride in a remote mountain village in Northeast China in the 1980s, “traded” for two hundred jin of grain.
Her family has nothing, creditors are at the door, and her bargain-bin husband is cold and hard-hearted. She also gets saddled with his younger siblings and a sickly grandfather.
Facing this hellish start, Su Niantang gives a cold laugh. “What's there to fear? I've got a medical space and a healing spring!”
She grows medicinal herbs, makes medicinal meals, puts the worst people in their place, punishes the scumbags, and leads the whole family to quietly build a fortune!
But they agreed to just share a life together, so why is her taciturn, rugged husband looking at her with an increasingly heated gaze?
“Wife, I'll beat up anyone who bullies you!”
“Wife... The kang is warm. Don't sleep at the other end.”
Su Niantang clutches her aching waist and grits her teeth. “Wait! We agreed to fall in love after getting married. Who said you could take things all the way to the bedroom already?”
This is a sweet romance about a modern woman with a doctorate who builds a career in the 1980s while taming a loyal, rugged husband and turning a life of hardship into something vibrant and fulfilling.
