[1970s] [Transmigrate into a Book as Cannon Fodder] [Master of Traditional Chinese Medicine] [Northeast Forest Farm] [Rugged Husband Dotes on His Wife] [Face-Slapping Comeback]
Song Zhiyu, a master physician, opens her eyes and finds herself transmigrated into a 1970s novel as its most miserable cannon-fodder heroine.
From the start, her wicked stepmother sets her up, pinning her beside an ice hole in front of everyone and accusing her of having an affair. The whole village watches, their spit enough to drown her. Song Zhiyu neither cries nor makes a fuss. She raises her hand and delivers a single acupuncture needle, making her stepmother lose control of her bladder in front of everyone and disgrace herself.
She places a notice in the paper severing ties with her family, then packs her things and heads to the countryside. When she arrives at a forest farm in the far Northeast, it's thirty below zero. The kang is cold, and people's hearts are colder.
To survive, she sets her sights on He Huaishen, the “hunter who brings death to his wives,” whom no one in the entire settlement dares marry. He's six foot three, with calloused hands and a murderous gaze.
“Marry me, and I'll cure you.”
He Huaishen agrees with a cold laugh. She thinks they'll just sign a marriage certificate and live separate lives, but when the lights go out on their wedding night, this wolf, starved for three years, shows her no restraint...
From then on, Song Zhiyu uses her peerless acupuncture skills to treat stubborn illnesses, gather mountain treasures, and take on the village's worst troublemakers, carving out a wonderful life amid the snow and ice. Her parasitic stepmother and family are sent down to the forest farm hoping to laugh at her, only to find her living in a brick house, drinking rare pheasant soup, and being pampered by the fiercest man around.
Only when several military jeeps roll through the heavy snow into the settlement and everyone salutes He Huaishen does Song Zhiyu realize just how terrifying the man she forced into marriage really is.
