How to use "Contrary" in context?

Contrary to popular belief, contrary does not mean the opposite of what is normally meant. In fact, contrary is actually an adverb meaning "in a contrary manner." For example, if you say "She walked contrary to her doctor's orders," the first word means that she walked in a different direction from what the doctor had advised her to do, and the second word means that she did not follow the doctor's orders.
