Lin Wan, a modern medical student trained in both Chinese and Western medicine, transmigrates after a laboratory accident and becomes the bride brought in to bring good fortune to the crippled, brooding legitimate son of the Marquis of the Xie household in the Great Jing dynasty, Xie Linyuan. The original owner of her body was treated cruelly. Using her ability to heal Xie Linyuan’s leg as leverage, Lin Wan secures a chance to survive. With her superb medical skills, she treats him and guides his rehabilitation, and the two gradually fall in love.
Lin Wan opens the Wanyuan Clinic, caring for the sick and taking in orphans, and wins the people’s affection. After Xie Linyuan recovers, the couple joins forces to face a crisis. They expose the Minister of Personnel, Li Song, and the Third Prince for poisoning and framing them, then use the spring plowing ceremony to reveal the evidence and bring them down. They also settle accounts with Xie Linfeng, Xie Linyuan’s illegitimate younger brother, who took part in the plot, clearing away trouble within the family.
With his achievements and talent, Xie Linyuan steadily rises to become Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, and devotes his entire life to Lin Wan alone. Lin Wan stays true to her calling as a physician and becomes the Great Jing’s foremost doctor, earning the title “Lady Protector of the Nation.” He reforms the court and ushers in a golden age, while she heals with skill and compassion, bringing blessings to the people. With children of their own and grandchildren at their knees, they write an enduring tale of healing the world and pledging themselves to one another for life.
