Period setting + devoted love + love that grows over time + golden finger. Qian Jiajia is set up by her stepmother and forced to take another woman’s place in marriage to a sickly man, as a way to bring him good luck.
On their wedding night, the groom breathes his last, and her new family demands that she be buried with him!
At the critical moment, a burly man covered in coal dust kicks open the door to the mourning hall: “She and I are legally married. Who dares lay a hand on her?”
Qian Jiajia: ??? I don’t even know you, sir!
Even more unbelievable, on the first day after the wedding, the [Medical Legacy] left by her late mother awakens in her mind.
[Ding! The Host has been detected reading a medical text left by her mother. Legacy unlock triggered,]

From then on, she uses her silver needles to cure every ailment, becoming the barefoot doctor everyone in the surrounding villages clamors to hire.
Meanwhile, her burly husband, who seems to do nothing but tend the boiler, secretly takes down people whose connections grow more impressive by the day.
Her stepmother, Wang Xiulan, comes smiling to make amends: “Jiajia, I only did what I thought was best for you back then...”
Zhou Lijun, wiping down his gun: “Sister-in-law, the organization will give you an answer about whether it was for the best.”
Everyone thinks she is a pitiful wretch who was thrown out of her home.
Until the military district commander personally comes to pay his respects with tea, leaving the whole village dumbfounded.
