In Republican-era Jiangnan, a pampered young lady of the Shen family is reduced to a beaten servant. After marrying into another family, she suffers gambling and domestic abuse, while even her father tells her to “accept her fate”!
She retrieves her father’s long-hidden medical texts and makes a place for herself in the waterside town with nothing but needles and medicine, only to stumble into the gentle trap of a kindhearted merchant.
When her scoundrel husband’s second wife flees with the family’s money and her father is left paralyzed by a stroke, she lets go of her deep-seated vendetta. Is she really going to bring her enemy home with her own hands?
