Because the Jiang family took in a man from the capital, his enemies poisoned the lake in their village.
After a heavy rain, the fields were ruined, and the crops withered overnight.
As a result, the whole Jiang family was forced to leave the home they'd lived in for over twenty years and follow the man to the capital in search of a way to survive.

Jiang Yu'er was naturally clever, and with ten years' worth of knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine from her soul transmigration, she quickly made a home for herself in the capital. She got into the medical clinic she'd always dreamed of joining and continued to promote the practice of traditional Chinese medicine.
Her eldest sister Jiang Tao'er and their mother also opened a little restaurant without a hitch...
Her second sister, Jiang Bao'er, made the most of her interests and became one of the capital's foremost perfumers...
Her third older brother, Jun'er, and their father both found jobs to support themselves...
The family lived together in harmony, and their lives flourished...

Jiang Yu'er never forgot that the man had helped her family make it from the countryside to where they were now.
Late at night, as she tossed and turned, she would occasionally have a few fleeting thoughts. Soon enough, she'd laugh at herself for being unrealistic.

All she could do was guard her heart and make the most of each day.
