The Guo family's Ping Le bone-setting has a medical history of over two hundred years. During the Qing Dynasty, they treated Empress Cixi, renowned for their high morals and medical skills. The Guo family has always had few offspring, and by the time of the fourth generation descendant, Guo Yishan, both of his wives had passed away, leaving only a young daughter. To carry on the family line and ensure the Guo bone-setting tradition continues, Guo Yishan hastily married Yun Heming, a village girl eleven years younger than him. On the way to the wedding, the bride was carried in a sedan chair, and the groom rode a horse, with a lively music band playing along. Suddenly, someone carrying a stretcher blocked the wedding procession; it was Italian missionary Maliki, whose thigh was injured and urgently needed medical help. Although it is traditionally believed that a wedding procession should not stop mid-way, or it will bring misfortune, Guo Yishan dismounted to help. Little did he know that Maliki had a feud with local bandits, and during the wedding banquet, the bandits caused a disturbance and kidnapped Guo Yishan. It turned out that Liu Xiantang, the head of "Yongchun Hall" in the village, had secretly informed the bandits, wanting to put Yishan to death. At this time, besides the newly married wife, the Guo family had only a sickly old father, a young daughter, and a four-year-old girl, with no one to help rescue him. The new wife was still under her bridal veil in their new home when she learned the truth. She resolutely decided to disguise herself as a man and teamed up with mediator Sun Datou... Guo Yishan felt fortunate to have such a wife who could uphold the family, deciding to let her learn to read and study medicine to continue the Guo medical lineage. He named her Yun Heming, symbolizing her integrity like a crane, soaring high and calling out! Yun Heming was quite perceptive and quickly mastered the Guo family's ancestral bone-setting techniques and medical secrets. The daughter of the city defense commander in Luoyang suffered a thigh fracture from a car accident, and as everyone was hesitant to treat her, it was solely Yun Heming who carefully provided treatment. During this time, with soldiers surrounding Guo's house, Liu Xiantang, filled with envy, set fire to the Guo family house at midnight. The city defense commander wanted to kill Liu Xiantang, but Yun Heming advocated for peace, releasing him on the grounds of insufficient reason, which eventually sowed the seeds for long-lasting troubles. After the Japanese invaded, the Guo family treated the commander of the anti-Japanese guerrilla forces, only to be reported again by Liu Xiantang. Guo Yishan was imprisoned and faced imminent danger. Yun Heming, along with foreign friend Maliki, once again rescued her husband. After the victory in the war, Guo Yishan was overjoyed but died of a stroke. The guerrilla forces cleverly sowed discord, and Liu Xiantang was nearly killed by dogs unleashed by the Japanese. Surviving by chance, he fled to the Nationalist Party and became a military intelligence agent. Coincidentally, Qiaoqiao, the daughter of Guo Yishan's first wife, was the head of a guerrilla hospital during the Liberation War. Her husband, Bai Tingsong, was a political commissar in a certain army unit of the People's Liberation Army. They went to Luoyang on a mission, but were recognized and arrested by Liu Xiantang. Just as Yun Heming was in a state of desperation, the Nationalist Luoyang city defense commander wanted to marry his daughter to Gao Jiyuan, a young man from the Guo family. After declining twice, Yun Heming finally agreed and asked 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 arms, saving countless lives from suffering. Liu Xiantang, seeing the situation turning against him, became desperate. He impersonated a descendant of the Guo family, changed his name to Guo Yitang, deceived the Nationalist higher-ups into trusting him, and was allowed to take the secret recipes to Taiwan. Liu Xiantang, scheming to steal the Guo family's ancestral secret book "Essentials of Guo's Bone-Setting," took advantage during a performance of Ping Le, killed the chairman of the Farmers' Association, injured the guard Lao Hu, and kidnapped Yun Heming's eight-year-old granddaughter Cao. He proposed a trade of Cao for the Guo family's secret book. Both sides prepared for the "exchange," but Cao ran out on her own. Liu Xiantang, discovering this, chased after her, only to be blocked by her wife and children. Liu Xiantang killed his wife and injured his child, and fled in panic. In contrast to Liu Xiantang, Yun Heming took action to make the Guo family's five-generation ancestral bone-setting secrets publicly known. This welcomed the liberation of the nation. The entire plot is full of ups and downs, with characters experiencing dramatic changes in fortune; the protagonist has a complex and diverse personality, making it captivating and enjoyable to watch!
