The Hawthornes' Little Healer

Nathan Hawthorne ventures into the mountains to seek the immortal sage and break the Hawthorne family curse, but he accidentally faints and is rescued by Apple. Moved by Apple's unfortunate background, Nathan brings her back to the Hawthorne family and adopts her. During her first encounter with Adrian Hawthorne, Apple saves Adrian by shielding him from an oncoming car, deeply touching him. From that moment, Adrian becomes a doting father, spoiling Apple endlessly. When Adrian's father, Paul Hawthorne, suddenly falls critically ill, Apple steps in and saves him with her acupuncture skills. However, Olivia Hawthorne witnesses the scene and frames Apple, threatening to send her to the police. Fortunately, Paul wakes up, and Apple becomes the beloved lucky star of the Hawthorne family, fueling Olivia's jealousy. Adrian believes the immortal sage is Rachel Lawson, the heiress of the Lawson family. At a banquet, Apple notices that Rachel is infected with parasites and offers to treat her with acupuncture. Rachel misunderstands and insults Apple, but later suffers from the parasites, forcing her father to kneel and beg Apple for help. Apple's reputation soars. Resentful over the incident and egged on by Olivia, Rachel develops a deep hatred for Apple. She enlists the help of Timothy Parker, leader of the Beggars' Sect, to kill Apple. However, Timothy and his followers are astonished by Apple's life-saving medical skills and end up submitting to her, addressing her as "Grandma." Eve
