Shen Miao inherited her grandfather's legacy and became the only female heir in a family of renowned doctors.

She never expected that on her very first day seeing patients, Old Lady Chen from the neighboring village would show up with a crowd to wreck her clinic.

Old Lady Chen: "You quacks cursed my son, saying he couldn't have children and wouldn't live long. So where did this chubby grandson of mine come from?!"

Shen Miao calmly pulled out the old medical record. "Your son was born without the ability to father children. If you want to know where this grandson came from, ask your new daughter-in-law."

Old Lady Chen: "He can't... father children?!"

Onlookers: "Oh? Whoa!"

In the 1990s, Western medical technology was advancing rapidly, but that didn't mean traditional Chinese medicine was in decline.

They said there was a famous doctor named Shen in Qinghe Village who could cure any illness, but her little clinic, barely a few dozen square meters, was always in chaos.

In the morning, she examined a young couple who were expecting a child.

Shen Miao: "The man needs to show some restraint. The woman's pregnant, and having sex seven or eight times every night is bad for the baby."

The pregnant woman quietly turned around. "Oh, really? You've been away on a business trip for half a month. Who have you been having sex with seven or eight times a night?"

Shen Miao: "???"

In the afternoon, she treated a young girl with a sprain.

Shen Miao: "Eat fewer kidneys and grilled skewers. Look at you, you're all pent up. You should cut back on fatty meat, too, and try to eat lighter."

The girl's parent looked incredulous. "We haven't had money to buy meat for over a week. Where would she get kidneys and grilled skewers?"

Shen Miao: "???"

In the evening, she took the pulse of an old man in poor health.

Shen Miao: "A G-spot tear, depleted essence, kidney deficiency... Auntie, what does your husband do every day?"

The older woman looked confused. "He farms during the day, then goes to learn a few hours' worth of knowledge at that college student Xiao Liu's place next door in the evening. That's all."

Shen Miao: "...Are you sure?"

Shen Miao's grandfather had always told her that doctors must practice medicine with a desire to help others.

Later, Shen Miao discovered that helping others and having fun were two things that didn't conflict at all.

The male lead is eight years older.

In 1979, her father started a new family, and the following year she gained a half-brother on her father's side.

In 1996, Guo Huixian got into university, but her father sent her to a textile factory because the family couldn't afford to support her.

In 2000, wanting to pay for his son's junior college tuition, her father promised Guo Huixian to a lame, hunchbacked old bachelor from their alley in exchange for a bride price of two thousand yuan...

On the phone, Guo Huixian tearfully told her mother, who lived a thousand miles away, that she was being forced to marry.

To her surprise, her usually timid mother stood up for her this time and said, "Don't be afraid. Grandma's home is about to be demolished. I'll come get you tomorrow!"

Guo Huixian: !!!

After returning home with her mother, Guo Huixian realized for the first time how great it was to be a village girl!

With her mother by her side, she spent her days eating her way around, shopping, and occasionally getting a taste of someone else's gossip.

Oh, right. Later she changed her name to take her mother's surname, Cheng. Her new name was Tianshuang.
