A Doctor-General Is Hard to Find

The war on the borders of the Great Liang Empire was escalating. The iron-willed female general Yun Zhao was ordered to defend the frontier, but after an assassination attempt left her poisoned with a strange toxin, her life hung in the balance. The court hastily summoned Shen Yan, an heir to the Divine Healer Valley, to treat her at the camp. But this "miracle doctor" turned out to be a sharp-tongued, proud young military physician. His first words were: "General, if you wait three more days, this poison will kill you. But even if I treat you now, you have only a fifty percent chance of survival." Yun Zhao sneered. "If you can't cure me, I'll make sure you join me in the grave." Shen Yan raised an eyebrow. "Sure. At least we can keep arguing on the road to the underworld." From then on, the military camp was turned upside down. She thought he was undisciplined and lazy, even humming while brewing medicine; he thought she was as hot-tempered as a thunderclap, hopping onto her horse with a blade in hand before her wounds had healed. Whenever they met, they bickered; whenever they discussed business, they pounded the table. Even the soldiers started placing bets in private: "Will the military physician make the general cry today?"
