Gu Qianxiao comes from a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners and has been promised in marriage since childhood.
Her icy husband married her by imperial decree and clearly resents her.
Gu Qianxiao doesn't mind. With no one to rely on, she just wants a temporary refuge. Once she has built herself up, she'll leave.
She opens a small clinic using the medical skills passed down by her great-grandfather.
Then she discovers she has superpowers.
Many things have gained souls and become humanlike.
When she's thirsty, her teacup turns into a tiny person, barely as big as a palm, striking a sexy pose on the table. "Woman, take me in!"
Gu Qianxiao: ...
A patient comes in for a consultation. After taking one of her pills,
the little pill turns into an adorable little person and taps the patient's head. "Are you the one who hurts?"
A little person pops out of the patient's head and shakes its head. "I don't hurt. Ask the heart."
The little pill: "You got it!"
The little pill taps the chest. "Are you the one who hurts?"
The little person in the heart shakes its head. "I don't hurt. I'm just a little congested."
The little pill: "Oh, congestion isn't my department. I'll go ask downstairs."
At last, the little pill finds the stomach and intestines. "Are you the ones who hurt?"
The little person in the gut sniffles. "It hurts so much!"
The little pill: "There, there. It'll stop hurting soon!"
The little person in the gut blushes. "Why are you hugging me... and kissing me... Go away, go away! That's embarrassing!"
The little pill: "Don't be shy. Kisses make you better!"

What Gu Qianxiao doesn't expect is that her icy husband comes home that day.
A whole bunch of cute little people jump out of him.
The little person in his heart puckers its lips. "Babe, I'm your one and only today too!"
The little person in his kidneys is a dark-skinned muscleman. He flexes his biceps and says, "Babe! Wait for me in bed!"
They've been secretly married for three years, and the only time they interact is during their ten monthly marital obligations.
But later, they start interacting a lot more.
One day, the little person in Chu Qingjian's gut is on her bed, crying pitifully. "Wife, save me."
She thinks his stomach must be acting up.
Nine out of ten domineering CEOs have stomach problems, after all.
When she takes Chinese medicine to his office, she happens to see a temptress throwing herself at him.
The temptress: "Get out! Can't you see Brother Chu and I are busy?"
Chu Qingjian, breaking out in a cold sweat from stomach pain, has an adorable little person jump out of his chest. It clings to her leg, sobbing. "Babe! She's making a move on me!"
Smack!
Gu Qianxiao slaps the temptress across the face.
Chu Qingjian is stunned.
But the adorable little person in his heart grins and presses close to her. "Babe, you're jealous! You're jealous! I knew you loved me!"
Later, Gu Qianxiao is surrounded every day by the little people inside Chu Qingjian.
They even fight over her.
The adorable heart: "Babe loves me best!"
The pouty liver: "Nonsense. Babe loves me best. She often makes me liver-nourishing medicinal dishes!"
The big shot brain: "Hmph! I get six walnuts every day!"
The kidney hunk circles around her head. "What about me? What about me? What about me? You don't love me anymore?"
Gu Qianxiao pushes him away. "You're fine. You don't need supplements."
The kidney hunk gets teary-eyed. "You've changed... Babe, you've changed. You weren't like this before... Boo-hoo!"
