After transmigrating into a book, Ruan Zhi became a fallen young lady whose family had been stripped of its possessions and exiled. Her horrible fiancé came to break off the engagement, holding her indenture and hoping to grind her into the dirt. Ruan Zhi tore up the marriage contract, took the compensation money, and headed straight for the place of exile without another word!
From the start, she had three shabby, leaky thatched huts and two sickly younger siblings who were little more than wolf cubs on the brink of death. Ruan Zhi sneered and awakened a Spiritual Spring, medical skills, and a pocket dimension! She swung a hoe to clear the land, planted angelica at Jingzhe, and harvested saposhnikovia at Guyu. With her peerless golden-needle technique, she brought people back from the brink of death.
While seeking a cure, she happened to find a stunning invalid on the back mountain, his martial arts completely crippled and rumored to be impotent, and put him to work as a laborer. When her business took off and a local bully tried to force her to become his concubine, she grabbed the invalid and used him as a shield. “I've already got a husband living under my roof!”
Who could have guessed this cripple was a fallen prince from an enemy kingdom, a man known for his ruthless decisiveness? On the day enemy troops laid siege to the city, he pinned her against the door and murmured hoarsely, “Wife, it's time to make good on what you said back then about ‘rising in status through your son.’” Weren't you supposed to be unable to have children?!
