After working three days straight, the renowned physician Shangguan Xi suddenly died.
When she woke up again, she had become a pitiful "little cabbage" in a remote mountain village in the Great Liang Kingdom, where she had dutifully looked after her fiancé's family for three years.
Her fiancé passed the imperial exam and became the top scholar. Yet the night before she was due to leave for the capital, she inexplicably stopped breathing in her sleep.
And that's how Shangguan Xi ended up here.
Of course she was going to the capital. But after arriving, before she could even sort out the scumbag, her former patient, the Old Master of the Chancellor's residence, gifted her a husband. And he was a third-place winner in the imperial examinations, no less.
As it turned out, the "surprises" just kept coming.
She had barely married this man when the scumbag suddenly turned out to be her husband's younger half-brother. Life really was getting more and more interesting.
She knew perfectly well that the Chancellor's family had married her solely to avoid trouble.
That only left her with fewer scruples. Anyone who provoked her, she would deal with.
Before long, no one in the residence dared underestimate her, the newly arrived mistress of the house.
In the days that followed, Shangguan Xi treated the Old Master's illness, earned a little money, took care of household affairs, and dealt with people.
And, while she was at it, she nurtured her relationship with her husband.
A year later, Shangguan Xi turned sixteen. She was excitedly packing her luggage when her cheap husband hurried over and snatched the bundle from her hands.
"Wife, where are you going?"
"Huh? Didn't we agree to be husband and wife for a year, after which I could roam the world?"
But to her surprise, the man who had once sworn that they were unsuited to each other now acted as if he were a completely different person and shamelessly protested, "When did I ever say that? Don't slander me, Wife!" His voice was righteous, his tone utterly resolute.
Shangguan Xi was about to argue further when the Old Master summoned her. When she returned, her husband drew her aside for a long talk...
Years later, Shangguan Xi looked back on that time and felt that the Old Master had teamed up with Nangong Chengyu to set a trap for her.
But then she thought about it again. In the end, she could only blame herself for having so little resolve and falling for that man's beauty trap.
What could she do? Her husband was the celebrated third-place winner in the imperial examinations, famous throughout the capital!
