Reincarnated into the body of a frail village maiden destined for ridicule, she discovers her new life fraught with scandal. Her betrothal dissolves in shame, leaving her reputation in tatters as villagers whisper cruel rumors. When a scheming matchmaker arrives with proposals to bind her to an elderly suitor, Gu Qingli's fortune shifts unexpectedly. Xiao Laosan, the notorious village pariah cursed with misfortune toward his wives, sets his sights on her. The matchmaker cannot fathom why such a disgraced woman attracts such persistent interest. Unbothered by her stigma, Gu Qingli recognizes in Xiao Laosan a kindred spirit—two cast-offs perfectly suited to one another. Together, they traverse the countryside searching for medicinal herbs, their days filled with mischief whenever idleness threatens.
