It's a slice of life story, where yoi follow MC and ML through their life. MC is a ginseng spirit who went through tribulation and transmigrates into the body of Ye Jiao.ML is Qi Yun the sickly second son of a rich family. The reason for their marriage is MC's sister-in-law sold her to pay off MC's brother's debt.ML and MC starts off as strangers, companions and then lovers. MC falls in love at first sight because he's handsome and kind, and ML falls for her kindness and sincerity (honestly her eyes that conveys it). Because she's a ginger spirit, she has the golden finger of knowing almost every herb (although she doesn't know their name) and nourishing her husband's body by just keeping in close contact with him.It's 215 chapters including the extras about each of their child and MC & ML's next life.All face slapping and schemes happens offscreen, as MC doesn't deal with that because she has a capable husband and kind in-laws.Honestly, a satisfying read because MC strives to learn and understand human etiquette and customs.

I laughed when MC thought she was rude for not kissing her SIL and MIL goodbye like she does her husband.
[collapse]She tries her best to fit in, eat delicious food, nurture her husband's body and takes care of the household.One of the good point of this story is how, MC's nephew who was initially mean to her changes for the better due to education.SpoilerHe was only mean because his parents were mean to her, but when he learns more in school he doubts the action of his parents. I was a little dissapointed that this was glossed over because he had valid arguments about the teaching of parents vs the teaching of the teacher/saints.
