Carrying a Space Dimension to Ancient Times Starting off by Taking Down Cruel Parents

Qin Nian, a skilled doctor in her previous life, dies of a heart attack after discovering her fiancé’s infidelity. She transmigrates into the body of a sixteen-year-old girl in Dawapo Village, a remote settlement in the Daliang Kingdom suffering from a devastating three-year drought. The original host had starved to death while foraging for wild vegetables. Qin Nian wakes up in a mountain cave to find Lin Cuizhi, a neighbor, in a compromising situation with a man named Dong Biao. Rather than exposing her, Qin Nian keeps the secret to protect Cuizhi, whose children depend on her survival, and returns to her home with a basket of greens.

Upon returning, Qin Nian confronts her biological parents, Qin Rongsheng and Li Dahua, who have abandoned her sixteen years ago after attempting to dump her in the woods as a baby. They are now desperate to sell her to survive the famine. Qin Nian’s grandmother, Granny Li, fiercely defends her, wielding a wooden stick against the intruders. Qin Nian uses a heavy oak shovel to strike both parents, driving them away with threats of further violence. Though physically weak from malnutrition, her modern medical knowledge and combat skills from her past life as a Muay Thai practitioner give her the confidence to protect her new family.

Shortly after, Qin Nian demonstrates her medical expertise when her neighbor, Geng Zhenhai, suffers a severe leg wound from a wild boar attack. With the village doctor dead and no time to fetch help, Qin Nian stitches the wound using sterilized needles and thread, stopping the bleeding and saving his life. In gratitude, Geng Zhenhai’s family, including his son Geng Feng and daughter-in-law Ye Meizi, pledge to share half of all their hunted game with Qin Nian and her grandmother. This alliance provides a crucial source of protein and income.

Qin Nian and Geng Feng hunt the injured wild boar the next day, successfully killing it and selling the meat in the county town. The transaction earns them several taels of silver, which they use to buy cornmeal, salt, and medicinal salve. This success marks the beginning of Qin Nian’s efforts to stabilize her living conditions. During this period, she discovers a spatial dimension linked to her previous life’s home, containing spiritual spring water that accelerates healing and improves physical health. She uses this water to treat Granny Li’s burns after a subsequent altercation with her abusive parents, who return to attack the grandmother in a fit of rage over the meat.

The conflict with Qin Rongsheng and Li Dahua escalates when they intentionally scald Granny Li with boiling soup. Qin Nian tends to the injury, applying badger fat ointment and bandages, while Geng Feng provides immediate first aid. The incident deepens the rift between Qin Nian and her biological family, who view her as a commodity rather than a daughter. Meanwhile, romantic tensions emerge when Geng Feng’s cousin, Tang Xiaomei, arrives and displays jealousy toward Qin Nian’s close relationship with Geng Feng, attempting to sabotage their interactions.

Qin Nian continues to forage in the mountains, discovering a potential water source that could benefit the entire village if tapped. She balances her growing medical practice with hunting and trading, gradually improving her family’s nutrition and health. The spiritual water from her space plays a pivotal role in recovery, allowing Granny Li to heal faster than expected. As the drought persists, Qin Nian’s resourcefulness and medical skills establish her as a vital figure in the village, while her determination to escape the cycle of poverty and abuse drives her to seek long-term solutions for survival.

The narrative follows Qin Nian’s adaptation to ancient life, leveraging her modern knowledge to overcome immediate threats from hostile relatives and environmental hardships. Her bond with Geng Feng strengthens through shared hunts and mutual support, contrasting with the antagonism from her biological family and the jealousy of Tang Xiaomei. With each challenge, Qin Nian asserts her independence, using her medical talents and strategic thinking to secure resources and protect her grandmother. The story sets the stage for her continued rise in status and influence within the drought-stricken region, as she works to secure a sustainable future for herself and her community.
