Five hundred copper coins was her price. Anyone left over after the buyers had chosen would be sent to the rear camp as a military prostitute. She acted without hesitation, stopping the strongest man there and offering herself as his wife. “I know medicine. I can cure your father.” The man handed over his last copper coin to buy her and take her home. Their home was bare, his mother was worried, his younger siblings were still small, and his father had been bedridden for two years. The villagers waited for a laugh: What could a scrawny criminal slave bought for five hundred coins possibly do? Guan Tang rolled up her sleeves. Gathering herbs, farming, acupuncture, writing prescriptions... With a sliver of spiritual awareness left to sense the herbs in the mountains, and the skills she had brought from her past life, she held together this struggling household. Her father-in-law could walk again. The rice jar was full. The barren hills had become fields of medicinal herbs. At last, the villagers realized that Gu Yuan had struck gold for five hundred coins: he had brought home a goddess. Later, war broke out on the frontier. Gu Yuan donned his armor and went to battle, while she took charge of the rear. He fought the enemy; she saved lives. That taciturn man who had winced at spending even five hundred coins rose from poor lieutenant to great general. Everyone knew that General Gu's greatest asset was not his military record, but his peerless physician wife.
