The Farmer's Divine Doctor: The Legitimate Daughter

She was a capable and talented herbal doctor, as well as a taekwondo expert. One night, she went to sleep and woke up in another world, in the body of a woman with an unknown identity who was pregnant and unmarried. Dependent on others and subjected to scorn, she finally gave birth to tiny, malnourished twins, a boy and a girl. She grew mulberry trees, raised silkworms, and opened a clinic, raising the children as both their father and mother. Her motto was: If you have money, you'll be carried in and walk out. If you don't, you'll be carried in and dragged out. Don't call her cold-hearted and unscrupulous. When she was heavily pregnant and had nowhere to turn, who showed her any pity? Who could have guessed that, in a rare fit of kindness, she would fish a handsome, dashing man who'd been gravely wounded out of the river and take him home? She thought he would be nice to look at, and could help with cooking and gathering herbs in the mountains. Little did she know he was a scheming man who even bribed her children to work together and plot to get her into bed. When she woke up, he put on a wronged expression and shamelessly declared, “You slept with me, so you have to take responsibility.” Scene One: Second Aunt Zhao looked at her niece, whose unadorned beauty outshone every other woman, and felt deeply displeased. “We arranged a meeting for you today with the prefect's son. Why did you scare the young master away? Now you've earned yourself a reputation for wolfing down food, treating it like your life, and being filthy.” Her niece merely smiled. “Second Aunt, I dressed up carefully before meeting the young master. But he just wasn't interested in someone who looks like a thousand-year-old demon. Besides, I'm already the mother of two children. Showing up to meet the young master was bound to become a laughingstock.” “I went to all that trouble to find you a good match. Becoming a concubine in the prefect's household is a blessing not everyone gets,” Second Aunt Zhao said indignantly, unwilling to accept it. “If it's such a blessing, Second Aunt, why not send your own daughter? It's a high-ranking official's household, after all. I think your daughter has more of a concubine's destiny.” A man grinned. Second Aunt Zhao's face turned livid with anger. “You don't know what's good for you, and you don't know how to enjoy a blessing. Don't put on airs. You're just a discarded wife.” The woman sneered. “Even as a discarded wife, I refuse to be an official's concubine, with a thousand men resting their heads on my arms and ten thousand tasting my lips.” Scene Two: Early one morning, a little girl ran off to find her twin brother, her face dark with anger. “Daddy's the worst! It was my turn to sleep with Mom last night, but when I woke up this morning, I was in my own room. Mom was already gone. Everyone says I walked back in my sleep.” She scratched her head. “Daddy clearly carried me back while I was asleep. How could he do that? He even bullies his own daughter. He'll stop at nothing when it comes to Mom. My heart is broken.” Her twin brother glanced at her and sighed. “You were too careless. I told you first thing this morning to watch out for Dad, but you wouldn't listen. Now look who's at a disadvantage. If you want Mom to pay attention to you, you'd better go to Dad's courtyard and complain.” The girl shook her head reluctantly. “Mom says only petty girls make a scene, throw tantrums, and threaten to hang themselves. I won't do that. It's beneath me.” Scene Three: “Are you all right?” She gave a cold laugh. “Fine. How could I not be?” “Back then, I...” “Back then? I really have your clever, capable, and vicious mother to thank. She got me pregnant before marriage, made me suffer everyone's scorn, and left me to give birth to two children whose father was unknown. But you never expected that years later, when we crossed paths again, you'd have your lapdog of a nobleman who helped you rise through the ranks, while I have two clever, adorable children and a man who'd share life and death with me, my companion for life. What you least expected was that, five years later, you'd have to bow to me and call me Your Majesty. Zheng Qian, let me tell you: back then, it wasn't that you didn't want Yun Chu. You simply weren't worthy of her.”
