Grandparents Divorced, She Led Grandma's Family to Prosperity

Shen Xixi, a legendary field medic from a modern mercenary squad, transmigrates into the body of a twelve-year-old peasant girl who fell from a cliff while gathering herbs. Rescued by a kind young master named Bai Rui and his servant Xiao Zhu, she is taken to a town clinic before being returned to her adoptive family, the Shens. The original host was an orphan saved from death by her father, Shen Da Shan, whose leg was crushed in an accident. The Shen family is fractured into three branches. The eldest branch, led by the greedy and abusive Du Shi and her husband Shen Wu, hoards resources and despises the sickly second branch. The second branch, consisting of Shen Xixi, her parents, and her two young brothers, survives on meager wild vegetables and coarse grain. Shen Xixi discovers she possesses a Space System that allows her to exchange gathered items for currency and goods, though she must earn money through legitimate means to spend it freely.

Life in the Shen household is unbearable. Du Shi constantly harasses the second branch, stealing food and mocking their poverty. Shen Xixi uses her medical knowledge to diagnose her father’s leg, realizing it can be treated if she can afford a skilled orthopedic specialist. However, the family is on the brink of collapse. Shen Zhiqiou, the grandfather, is a failed scholar obsessed with regaining status and is in debt to gambling. He plots to sell Shen Xixi to the wealthy Prefect Shen’s mansion in Fucheng, believing her resemblance to the missing eldest daughter will fetch a high price. Shen Xixi overhears her younger brother, Shen Wenxing, revealing this plot while they gather wild vegetables in the mountains. She uses her system to harvest valuable wild onions and kudzu roots, earning enough silver to improve their diet and secretly build a financial reserve.

Shen Zhiqiou forcibly takes Shen Xixi to Fucheng, claiming he is taking her to relatives. Upon arriving at the Prefect’s mansion, Shen Xixi notices a missing person poster offering a thousand taels for her own childhood self, revealing she is the long-lost eldest daughter of the Shen family, abducted by a corrupt maid six years prior. While waiting to meet the matriarch, Chen Xue, Shen Xixi sneaks away and uses her system to scan the mansion. She discovers hidden caches of gold and silver worth 1.25 million taels in the study and the matriarch’s quarters. She steals the liquid assets, converting them into system points, while leaving behind valuable antiques to avoid immediate suspicion. She also overhears Chen Xue plotting to find a corpse to pass off as her missing daughter to protect a political marriage alliance for her second daughter.

Shen Zhiqiou attempts to sell Shen Xixi to the household staff, but Chen Xue refuses her due to the facial scars. Humiliated and desperate, Shen Zhiqiou drags Shen Xixi away. In the street, he strikes her, and she pretends to be a desperate, abused child, kowtowing and bleeding from her forehead to garner public sympathy. A crowd gathers, accusing Shen Zhiqiou of selling his granddaughter for gambling money. Bai Rui, who had followed Shen Xixi due to his interest in her martial arts skills, intervenes. He recognizes Shen Xixi and warns the authorities, forcing Shen Zhiqiou to abandon the sale to avoid arrest. Shen Xixi returns to her family, having thwarted the immediate threat of being sold. She also encounters Liu Yan, the concubine who abandoned the family years ago, now living as a wealthy woman, and learns more about her true lineage. The story concludes with Shen Xixi determined to use her medical skills and system to heal her father, protect her family, and uncover the truth about her past.
