[1970s Era] [Marriage in Place of Someone Else] [Reborn] [Military Marriage] [Medical Skills] [Sweet, Satisfying Romance] [Beloved by Her Husband's Family]
In the twelfth lunar month of 1976, Shen Qingning, born into a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, opens her eyes and finds herself reborn on the very day her family schemes to marry her off in her cousin's place. Her cousin has run away, and Shen Qingning is shoved onto a train bound for the northwest to marry a demobilized officer rumored to have a broken leg and not to live past thirty.
Everyone in the carriage laughs at her miserable fate.
Only she knows that on this day in her previous life, she ran out through that doorway, was beaten and left in the snow, and died on a farm at just nineteen.
This time, she gets on the train of her own accord.
Only after reaching the military compound does she discover that the man rumored to be as good as dead is sitting in a wheelchair, studying her with eyes that seem to see right through her. "You don't have to pity me. You can leave whenever you want."
Shen Qingning doesn't leave.
She treats him with acupuncture, brews his medicine, and guides his rehabilitation, dragging his legs back from the brink of death inch by inch. She heals the old commander in the compound, and the heartache he has hidden for half his life.
Later, someone asks Huo Zheng, "When did you know she was the one?"
Huo Zheng is silent for a long time, then says, "The day she gave me acupuncture for the first time, I knew my life was over."
Later still, those who once laughed at her miserable fate finally learn the truth: the bride who was shoved onto that train became the darling of the entire military compound.
