The Little Miracle Doctor Who Loves Food [Seventies]

Su Xiaoyin, a plant-type ability user with healing powers, dies in a post-apocalyptic world after a ten-year struggle against zombies. Upon dying, she transmigrates into the body of a girl with the same name in a novel she had previously read. In this new reality, she finds herself in a compromising position with Yuan Songzhi, a man who was drugged by Lin Limei, the novel’s female lead. The original owner of the body, a ten-year-old orphan whose family died in a flood, had been raised by the Lin family after being tricked into an engagement with their second son, Lin Tianyang. The Lin family exploited her inheritance and planned to ruin her reputation to force her into marriage with Yuan Songzhi, a widower with three children. However, the original owner died of a heart attack after being drugged and assaulted, allowing Su Xiaoyin to take over.

Su Xiaoyin uses her healing abilities to purify the drugs from both her and Yuan Songzhi’s systems. Recognizing the danger, she advises Yuan Songzhi to flee the scene before Lin Limei and her family arrive. They escape through a thorny path, during which Su Xiaoyin secretly uses her plant powers to heal Yuan Songzhi’s injured leg gradually. Upon returning to the brigade, they confront Lin Limei, who attempts to frame them for impropriety. Su Xiaoyin counters by exposing Lin Limei’s past schemes, including the theft of her mother’s jade pendant and the manipulation of her engagement. She reveals that Lin Tianyang has already begun an affair with a factory director’s daughter, undermining the Lin family’s moral high ground.

The confrontation escalates as Su Xiaoyin demands the return of all Su family property and the severing of ties with the Lin family. Yuan Songzhi supports her, revealing that Lin Limei had also attempted to seduce a commune secretary, further damaging her reputation. The brigade leader, Qin Haide, mediates the dispute, and the Lin family, fearing scandal and public exposure, agrees to the separation. Su Xiaoyin reclaims her family’s private land and receives additional compensation in grain and money. She decides to sell her dilapidated house in the brigade and move to a courtyard in the nearby town, which Yuan Songzhi offers her to live in temporarily.

As Su Xiaoyin settles into her new life, she continues to manage her healing abilities discreetly. She visits Yuan Songzhi regularly, using her powers to aid his leg recovery while maintaining a facade of a casual relationship to avoid gossip. Yuan Songzhi, initially distant and pragmatic about marriage, finds himself increasingly drawn to Su Xiaoyin’s independence and strength. He resolves to protect her and support her, despite her initial rejection of a formal marriage proposal. The story follows their evolving dynamic as they navigate the social complexities of the commune, deal with the lingering resentment of the Lin family, and build a life together in the town.

Su Xiaoyin’s primary goal is to live freely and securely, leveraging her knowledge of the future and her unique abilities to improve her circumstances. She plans to eventually leave the commune and move to the capital, where she believes she can find better opportunities. Meanwhile, Yuan Songzhi balances his responsibilities at the state-owned restaurant with his growing attachment to Su Xiaoyin. The narrative explores themes of survival, resilience, and the redefinition of relationships in a restrictive social environment. As Su Xiaoyin integrates into this new world, she must remain vigilant against the schemes of those who wish to harm her, particularly Lin Limei, who remains a persistent threat despite her family’s defeat.

The story highlights Su Xiaoyin’s strategic mind and her ability to turn the tables on her oppressors. She uses the Lin family’s greed and malice against them, exposing their true nature to the entire brigade. Her relationship with Yuan Songzhi develops from a pragmatic arrangement into a partnership based on mutual respect and care. As they navigate the challenges of their new life together, they face external pressures from the Lin family and internal conflicts about their future. The narrative sets the stage for further adventures as Su Xiaoyin continues to use her abilities to protect herself and those she cares about, all while striving for a peaceful and independent existence.

Su Xiaoyin’s journey is one of transformation from a victim of circumstance to a proactive agent of her own destiny. She learns to trust Yuan Songzhi and relies on his support as she adapts to this new era. The couple’s bond strengthens as they face common adversaries and share moments of intimacy and understanding. Su Xiaoyin’s healing powers become a crucial asset, not only for Yuan Songzhi’s recovery but also for her own survival in a world that is still recovering from the aftermath of political and social upheaval. The story concludes with the couple establishing a stable life in the town, ready to face whatever challenges the future may bring.
