Gu Qingli, a modern-day doctor and poisoner, was killed by her best friend. She was reborn as a weak peasant girl who could easily be bullied. Not long after she returned home, her wedding was called off. Everyone in the village started speaking poorly about her. A greedy matchmaker showed up and tried to convince Qingli to marry an older man! The matchmaker had barely been gone for a few seconds before returning once again.

The matchmaker wondered why a wretched woman like her was so popular. Gu Qingli did not mind. She thought that she, a wretched woman, was a perfect match for this man. For the days to come, she'd take her younger brother with her to forage for herbs, and they'd stir up trouble when they got bored. Wretched woman? A failed investment?

The County Town was too small and limiting for him. Xiao Yunjing told him to consider it, even directly revealing his true identity. He explained the tasks involved, the risks of following him, and, of course, the benefits. Xiao Yunjing laid out everything for Xu Yi to analyze. Facing such an open-hearted man, and considering the current state of Daqian, Xu Yi only asked Xiao Yunjing one question: if Xiao Yunjing could accomplish a certain task, Xu Yi would follow him.
