Top traditional Chinese medicine practitioner An Yue is reborn as An Bao, a three-and-a-half-year-old girl in the 1970s.
From the start, her father is declared dead, and she and her frail, beautiful mother are thrown out by her vicious grandmother. Their home is bare, and they have no food left.
Everyone says the two of them won't survive the winter.
An Bao pouts. This isn't how the story is supposed to go!
Her wicked grandmother comes to seize the compensation money? An Bao points a tiny finger at her. “Grandma's bad, tummy hurts, doesn't it?”
The next moment, her evil grandmother is clutching her stomach and rolling on the ground.
No rice to cook at home? An Bao makes one trip up the mountain, pulls up a century-old ginseng root like a carrot, and feeds rare medicinal herbs to the chicks!
Her frail mother can't stop coughing up blood? An Bao speaks in her baby voice. “Don't be scared, Mommy. Your baby is a little miracle doctor!” After a few doses of herbal medicine, her beautiful mother is glowing with health!
Gu Ye, the toughest man in the village, finds something strange about the little girl he once helped on a whim.
While other children are still playing in the dirt, she is already helping her mother earn money and build a new house.
Gu Ye: “Baby, don't play with that broken bowl. You might cut your hand.”
An Bao: “Uncle, this is Chenghua doucai porcelain. It's worth a lot of money!”
Gu Ye: “...”
He quietly dotes on her and protects her, deciding to take both the beautiful mother and daughter under his wing.
Then one day, a wealthy family from the capital shows up, grabs the hand of her supposedly “dead” father, and calls him “Young Master”!
Gu Ye shields the mother and daughter behind him and sneers, “They're mine. Who dares take them away?”
