[The brilliant doctor who plays the fool x the meticulous, gentle, wealthy gentleman]
*
Zhang Shanyun is transported to the Northern Song dynasty and into a poor family. Her father is penniless, her mother is ugly, and things are a disaster from the start.
Women in ancient times couldn't change their fate by studying, so she has to plan her own way forward: for a poor family that wants to avoid depending on others, medicine is a good path.
But even when one person succeeds, family can still hold her back, so she plans out their futures too. Her elder brother will take the imperial exams and pursue an official career; her second elder sister will learn a trade and become a cook; her cousin has no special talents, but he can earn a living with his strength; and her older female cousin is spoiled, so she will learn to manage money and marry into a wealthy family.
Even the eldest son of the prefectural judge's household is part of her plan.
A poor family has no connections. If a scion of a rich family can become her elder brother's close friend, then as his little sister, she can benefit too, and perhaps throw her weight around a little by association?

Zhou Huaide is a true gentleman: generous, wealthy, gentle, and considerate.
He comes from an illustrious family, while hers is poor, yet he holds her in the highest place in his heart.
Her name is Shanyun. To avoid using her name, he renames his most beloved young servant, Shanting, to Changting.
Mindful of her pride, he gives her fine brushes and ink, claiming they are simply parting gifts.
She devotes herself to medicine, so he personally gathers a whole study's worth of rare medical books for her.
Step by step, he helps her elder brother pass the imperial examinations, and helps her family establish themselves in Yingtian Prefecture. He watches her rise to success at a young age, become a master physician, and make a name for herself. Yet he grows ever more insecure about his illness, convinced he is unworthy of her.
So when she discusses marriage with someone else, he doesn't dare stop her. He merely helps prepare her dowry in silence.
Along with vast wealth, houses, and farmland, what he gives her is the one true love he has never given to anyone else in his life.
It is the love of a gentleman, restrained and precious, yet given without reserve.

Reader's Guide:
1. This is not a wish-fulfillment story; it is plot-driven.
2. I originally planned to write the heroine as a native of the setting. While preparing the complete manuscript for submission, I found that the historical romance category favored relationship-driven stories, so I changed her background at the last minute to someone reincarnated before birth. However, she essentially lives the life of an ordinary local girl, with a full childhood and coming-of-age period, and the psychology appropriate to each stage.
3. This is a serious drama. The main characters all have strengths and flaws, and they all change over time.
Please leave lots of comments and encouragement, and please give the story a free bookmark and a little heart! Thank you, lovelies!
My New Novel, I Became a Priestess in the Shang Dynasty, is updating now. Please bookmark and read!
Blurb:
Some say Zhao Ying has reached the end of the road.
A wealthy young woman competing to become a spirit maiden died suddenly, and Zhao Ying, who always likes to stand out, is the prime suspect.
The nobles of the royal capital want to eliminate their rivals, and Zhao Ying, who loves to put herself in the spotlight, will be first in their sights.
The powerful want to make an example of someone, and a tribal commoner like Zhao Ying will be the first to suffer.
Who could have guessed that within half a year, the commoners in her fief would all be sincerely grateful to Miss Zhao Ying?
A year later, none of the other spirit maiden candidates dare provoke her.
When she returns from her travels, the tribes on both banks of the Yangtze River submit to her, and everyone calls her General Red Kite.
She controls the bronze industry, is wealthier than a nation, and is covered in glory.
Young masters, princes, generals, and priests all fall at Zhao Ying's feet.
Everyone in the Shang kingdom knows her name. They call her:
The Spirit Maiden Chosen by Heaven, the Founding Priestess.
Zhao Ying: I guess I was born to be a big boss, a great general, and a woman destined for wealth and status.
Theme: When a family works together, they can make life better and better
A man is a jian. Haha, why don't you think about his serious wife who married him when he was young, gave birth to children and took care of the house for him for so many years. Now that he has become an official and has money, he feels like he has returned to his youth. He is such a good man that he will remain a youth until his death.
The second sister married a man just like her father, and she had a hard time eating soft food.
To put it bluntly, it feels like a good thing if the scumbag dad dies.
This is so disgusting. Can the author teach Zhang Shengzhao a lesson 🤩
Zhang Shengzhao is such a disgusting man. He is so rude to his wife who has given birth to his children and doesn't give him any face.
The bad nature of men and the single-minded devotion to the heroine in the novel are all the embodiment of the female author. There are very few people in the world who truly respect women [Good Luck Lotus]
Oh, it's so annoying! What kind of trouble is Big Brother going to make? When will Shanyun's engagement be cancelled? It's almost the weekend and it's almost Eleven. Doesn't it mean not to update a hundred and eighty chapters on this big day?
This charming cloud is really speechless. She pushed someone into the river and even deliberately spilled all the perfume. Do you think everyone loves men as much as she does? Only she deserves to associate with a good family, and Shanyun and his family don't deserve to be together? I'm really speechless
The eldest brother has gone through all the things his father and uncle have gone through, and he can still be tempted by a prostitute and just give him the money... I'm convinced. Even if you and your wife seem to be inseparable, why don't you explain it clearly?
Falling in love with the second male lead is my destiny
