A Little Clinic in the Countryside

[Historical romance + transmigration + farming, humble life, building a fortune]

Blurb:

Yu Tingxi died one day and was reborn as a farmer's daughter in an unfamiliar dynasty. Looking at the dilapidated house and meals devoid of even a trace of meat or oil, she felt miserable.

She couldn't stand it.

The villagers watched as the Yu family's silly girl changed completely. Not only did she roll up her sleeves and learn to grow vegetables, she also went into the mountains to hunt for game, and even opened a small clinic with her traditional Chinese medicine skills.

A new restaurant called Zhiwei House opened in Miyang County, serving fresh ingredients prepared in novel ways. One bite was enough to make your tongue practically melt with deliciousness.

Just one street away from the restaurant, a new clinic diligently treated its patients, charging fair prices and curing illnesses with the right medicine.

People talked about them with relish and flocked to both businesses.

The two shopkeepers arrived at the agreed-upon place at the appointed time and handed their account books to Yu Tingxi to look over.

Who could have guessed that the person behind it all was a little girl?

Thanks to Yu Tingxi, the Yu family's eldest branch grew wealthy, and their lives gradually flourished. They even managed to win a handsome, well-built young man from a prominent family as a son-in-law.

After his career in government ended in disappointment, Gu Shaozhi resigned from his insignificant, title-only post and retired to the countryside. Along the way, he happened to save a foolish farmer's daughter.

Life in the mountains was naturally more relaxing and pleasant than life in the capital. Still, his constant worry for the people weighed on his heart and often clouded his mood.

One day, as Gu Shaozhi ground ink to write a letter to his grandfather in the capital, someone knocked on the door.

The foolish farmer's daughter he'd first met had long since become a different person. Though small, she was remarkably lively, like a newly emerged butterfly, radiant and dazzling amid those turbulent times.

She said, "I need your help."

Gu Shaozhi was dragged off to plow and plant crops.

Not long afterward, she said again, "Sorry to bother you."

Gu Shaozhi was dragged off to drive a donkey cart.

Later, the girl grew more and more willful, treating Gu Shaozhi like an old ox whenever she saw him.

Gu Shaozhi's subordinate, who had come with him from the capital, hesitated to speak as he watched the newly appointed top scorer in the palace examinations, personally selected by the emperor, get turned into a down-to-earth young man praised by the whole village.

[Bonus Scene]

Yu Tingxi gazed at the shining silver in the cabinet and nodded in satisfaction.

Gu Shaozhi: "You like it? My family has plenty."

Yu Tingxi turned and glared at him.

[Warnings]

1. One-on-one, both strong and devoted to each other, HE.

2. Simple writing, fictional dynasty. No need to tell me if you drop the story.

3. A gentle, everyday historical farming story, focused on family life and the slow passage of time. Only a very small part involves court politics. In the end, the couple still settle down as ordinary farmers.

4. Hope you enjoy reading!
