Gu Leyou was originally a modern-day doctor, well-versed in both Western and traditional Chinese medicine. Due to an accident, she transmigrated into ancient times and became a peasant girl—also named Gu Leyou.

After becoming a farmer’s daughter, Gu Leyou fell into a river by accident and was rescued by a hunter named Lu Yan. This incident sparked a flurry of rumors, and her fiancé even broke off the engagement because of it. Left with no other choice, she decided to marry her savior, Lu Yan.

When her family and friends heard the news, they were baffled and came to try to persuade her otherwise.

Father Gu: “My daughter, why on earth do you insist on marrying that hunter?”

Gu Leyou: “He saved my life—I’m repaying him with mine.”

Mother Gu: “Are you crazy? He’s just a hunter—and he already has a child! Do you really want to marry into that and become a stepmother?”

Gu Leyou: “I don’t see anything wrong with that. As soon as I marry him, I get to be a mom. Gaining a son for free? Sounds like a great deal.”

Friend: “Why do you have to marry a hunter? Just because he saved your life, do you really need to repay him with your body?”

Gu Leyou: “Well, he is handsome. If I marry him, I get to see that good-looking face every day—what’s not to love?”

Friend: “…”

Everyone thought that once Gu Leyou married the hunter Lu Yan, her life would be miserable. But to their surprise, the little family of three ended up living a joyful and thriving life, and the hunter husband doted on her endlessly.

Husband: “Wife, I sold today’s game at a great price! Let’s go shopping—you can buy whatever you want.”

Gu Leyou: “Okay.”

Son: “Mom, the weather’s great today! Let’s go fly kites!”

Gu Leyou: “Okay.”
