Synopsis

[Transmigration + alternate setting + 1950s + master of traditional Chinese medicine + spirited heroine and roguishly handsome hero + patriotism + decisive action] Fu Yao, an employee of the transmigration bureau, awakens in the body of a cannon-fodder heiress in 1950s Hong Kong. From the start, she’s kidnapped and set adrift at sea, with the sharks about to get her... Fu Yao flashes a wicked smile. “We’ll see who turns out to be cannon fodder!” She makes short work of the kidnappers, returns safely to land, and even picks up a loyal dog along the way. Only when she gets home does she discover why her life as cannon fodder was inevitable. Just look at her love-struck mother, her blind-to-the-truth father, and her missing older brother... Fu Yao cuts off her long hair and kicks everyone into line. From today on, she’ll kill any god or ghost that gets in her way! Her love-struck mother inspires her to build a career. Once she has one, who needs a man? Her father is blind to the truth, so she’ll give him a reality check and make him see what’s black and what’s white, and whether he can still be saved! What? Her missing brother is actually working undercover for the country. Then she’ll support him with all her might and clear every obstacle in his way! In this era, Fu Yao makes a name for herself with her extraordinary medical skills. She moves easily between the underworld and respectable society, and piles up gold and silver... She has a loving family, a kindred spirit who understands her, and partners who never abandon her. But she happens to notice that her partner is getting clingier by the day, and that she’s beginning to care more and more about him... One day, her partner blocks her way, his eyes red. “I’m going crazy because I like you so much... How do you feel about me?” A little bonus scene: At one point, someone mistakes her older brother, whose identity is a secret, for a romantic rival. After seeing Fu Yao risk her life for him again, he loses his mind... Gripping her waist and blocking her lips, he demands, “Who do you love? I’m not some toy you play with when you’re bored!” Fu Yao: “He’s my brother!”
