[Farming + Transmigration + Medicine + Building Wealth + Food]
Other people transmigrate as princesses or noble ladies. Bai Wei transmigrates... straight into a freshly sealed grave.
A top pharmaceutical sciences PhD, she has barely opened her eyes when she hears grave robbers outside discussing, "This newly dead widow has a pretty face. We can sell her for five taels in a ghost marriage!"
Bai Wei kicks the coffin lid aside, scrambles out of the grave on all fours, and scares the thieves into wetting themselves.
Back at the dilapidated house, what she sees is even more heartbreaking.
Her two children are so starved they're gaunt, clutching cold buns and timidly calling her "Mother." Her ten-year-old brother-in-law grips a woodcutter's knife and says through gritted teeth, "Sister-in-law, don't be afraid. I'll protect you all."
The house is bare, the rice jar is almost empty, and they owe money to the village bully.
Bai Wei smiles.
Poor? What's there to be afraid of!
The medicinal herbs in the mountains are her natural pharmacy, and wildflowers by the road can be turned into fragrant oils worth their weight in gold.
Using modern medicine, she saves a cow struggling to give birth. One dose cures a coughing-up-blood illness that has stumped three doctors, and one jar of ointment restores the county magistrate's wife's scarred face to smoothness.
From a mountain village to the provincial capital, from a roadside medicine stall to the imperial palace's official supplier, Bai Wei's medical skills astonish the world as she leads the entire village toward prosperity.
Then one day, news arrives of a great victory at the border, and her husband, supposedly "killed in battle," comes home alive.
His bloodstained armor gleams, and a mighty retinue of soldiers follows behind him. But his run-down house has become a grand residence, his children are dressed in brocade, and his wife, who was supposed to be frail and helpless, is...
Surrounded by a crowd of noble young masters and master physicians begging her for guidance, she raises an eyebrow lazily. "General, please take a number if you want to see the doctor."
