The Guo Family's Ping Le Bone Setting has a history of over 200 years in medicine and treated Empress Dowager Cixi during the Qing Dynasty, renowned for its high moral standards and medical skills. Guo's family has always had a small population, and by the fourth generation, Guo Yishan, after marrying two wives who both passed away, was left with only a young daughter. To carry on the family lineage and ensure the Guo's bone-setting technique is passed down, Guo Yishan hurriedly married a village girl, Yun Heming, who is eleven years younger. On the way to the wedding, the bride rode in a sedan chair while the groom rode a horse, accompanied by a lively band. Suddenly, a stretcher blocked the wedding procession; it was Italian missionary Malich, who had injured his thigh and urgently sought medical help. Although it is customary for wedding processions not to stop mid-way, or it would bring future misfortunes, Guo Yishan dismounted to help. Unbeknownst to him, Malich had grievances with a mountain bandit, and at the wedding banquet, the bandit caused chaos and kidnapped Guo Yishan. It turned out that Liu Xiantang, the master of "Yongchun Tang" in the village, had secretly informed the bandits, wishing to put Guo Yishan to death. At this moment, aside from the newlywed bride, the only ones left in the Guo household were his sickly old father, a young stepmother, and a four-year-old daughter, leaving no one to come to his aid. The new bride, still under the bridal veil in the new house, learned of the situation and resolutely decided to disguise herself as a man and accompany the mediator Sun Datou... Guo Yishan was pleased to have such a wife who could support the family and decided to have her learn to read and practice medicine to continue the Guo family's medical lineage, naming her Yun Heming, symbolizing her integrity like a crane, soaring and calling out high! Yun Heming was quite perceptive and quickly mastered the ancestral techniques of Guo's bone-setting and medicinal recipes. The daughter of the city defense commander in Luoyang broke her thigh bone in a car accident, and since she was a lady and men couldn't treat her, all depended on Yun Heming’s meticulous care. During this time, Guo's house was surrounded, leading to Liu Xiantang's deep-seated jealousy, and he burned down Guo's house in the middle of the night. The city defense commander wanted to kill Liu Xiantang, but Yun Heming advocated for peace, citing insufficient reasons, and let him go, inadvertently laying the foundation for future troubles. After the Japanese invaders arrived, the Guo family treated the commander of the anti-Japanese guerrilla forces and was later reported by Liu Xiantang again. Guo Yishan was imprisoned, in dire danger. Yun Heming, along with the foreign friend Malich, rescued her husband once more. After the victory of the war of resistance, Guo Yishan died of a stroke from overwhelming joy. The guerrillas cleverly sowed discord, and Liu Xiantang was bitten by a dog and narrowly escaped death, then defected to the Kuomintang and became a military intelligence officer. Coincidentally, he was the daughter of Guo Yishan's ex-wife, who served as the director of a guerrilla hospital during the liberation war, while his son-in-law Bai Tingsong was a political commissar in the People's Liberation Army. The two went to Luoyang on a mission and were arrested by Liu Xiantang, who recognized them. Just as Yun Heming was anxiously searching for a solution, the city defense commander wanted to marry his younger daughter to Guo family's young man Guo Jiyuan. After politely refusing twice, Yun Heming finally agreed and subsequently requested the city defense commander to rescue her daughter and son-in-law. When the People's Liberation Army arrived, Yun Heming sent her son and daughter-in-law to the city to persuade her in-laws to lay down their weapons, saving thousands of lives from disaster. Seeing the trend was against him, Liu Xiantang, like a cornered dog, impersonated a descendant of the Guo family, changing his name to Guo Yitang and deceiving trust from high-ranking officials in the Kuomintang, being allowed to take secret recipes to Taiwan. Liu Xiantang schemed to steal the Guo family's ancestral secret manual "Essentials of Guo's Bone Setting" and took advantage of a performance in Ping Le, killing the chairman of the farmer's association, Shi Zhuan, wounding the guard Lao Hu, and kidnapping Guo Heming's eight-year-old granddaughter Cao. He demanded to exchange Cao for the Guo family's secret manual. Both sides prepared for the "exchange," but Cao ran out on her own. Liu Xiantang discovered her and pursued her madly, but was stopped by her wife and children. Liu Xiantang murdered his wife and injured his child, fleeing in panic. In contrast, Yun Heming openly shared the 14 essential techniques of the Guo family's five generations of bone-setting secrets, heralding the liberation of the entire nation. The plot is full of ups and downs, with characters experiencing significant changes in fate, and the protagonist possessing a complex and diverse character, making it interesting and engaging!
