After Marrying a Fool as a Stand-In Bride, My Wealthy In-Laws Spoiled Me Rotten

In the 1970s, Huang Rong, an adopted daughter, became a pawn her adoptive parents used to make money. They forced her to take the place of a foolish, wealthy young man in the provincial capital. When she refused, preferring death, they beat her brutally and locked her in a woodshed, leaving her on the brink of death. As she lay dying, her blood accidentally activated a rusty gourd, granting her the threefold inheritance of an ancestral healer: medicine, Taoist arts, and martial arts. Her injuries healed in an instant.

To escape hell, she pretended to be a fool and agreed to the marriage, entering a grand old family home. On their wedding night, she saw through her husband and realized he wasn’t truly foolish, but merely hiding his talents. Armed with peerless medical skills, she secretly treated his health and stepped in to resolve crises in his family. Her sincerity won her the love of her parents-in-law, who treated her as their own daughter.

Once discarded, she now turned her life around one step at a time, relying on her inherited skills during a turbulent era. She took on her awful relatives, exposed family conspiracies, and seized the opportunities of the times to rise from a country girl married off as a substitute to the backbone of the Gu family. This couple, both pretending to be fools, joined forces as equals. Married first, they fell in love later and chose each other wholeheartedly. See her master both medicine and martial arts, become the darling of a wealthy family, and write a legend for the ages!
