Rural woman Lin Qiuyue married high school student Zhao Zhigao. Over five years, she busied herself with household chores and gathered herbs to treat his cold condition, yet suffered utter contempt and belittlement. During a herb-gathering adventure encounter with danger, Zhao Zhigao favored female educated youth Su Qing, causing Lin Qiuyue's heart to die and leading her to resolutely divorce. Moving back to the old house, she received the silent hunter Chen Tieshan's quiet protection. Relying on her family's traditional herbal medical skills to save people and establish herself, setting up a stall to practice medicine, she repeatedly faced frame-ups by her ex-husband and Su Qing, all of which were resolved by Chen Tieshan stepping forward. To fulfill her father's dying wish, Lin Qiuyue studied hard and was admitted to the provincial capital's medical university. Chen Tieshan was severely injured and encountered danger to raise tuition fees, and Lin Qiuyue delayed her enrollment to tend to him meticulously.
