Gu Qingci, a modern medical doctor, unexpectedly wakes up in another era as the owner of a small medical clinic on the verge of closing.
She soon realizes something is wrong with this world. The person knocking on her door in the middle of the night isn't a patient but a painted-skin ghost demanding a heart. The great philanthropist outside the city is actually a fox demon who eats human hearts to preserve her beauty. The newly appointed top scholar is being tormented by a female ghost every night and grows thinner by the day...
Fortunately, she is bound to the [Strange Illness Diagnosis and Treatment System].
[Ding! Patient presenting with “lovesickness.” Cause: peach blossom demon infestation. Treatment plan: surgically remove the demon core and administer a “Heartless Pill.” Side effect: the patient will lose the ability to love.]
[Ding! Patient presenting with “soul-loss syndrome.” Cause: a water ghost has stolen the patient's three hun and seven po souls. Treatment plan: physical exorcism (knock out the water ghost with a brick) and reclaim the souls.]
While others diagnose illness by observing, listening, questioning, and feeling the pulse, Gu Qingci relies on scalpels, microscopes, and modern medical knowledge.
While other Taoists are still drawing talismans and chanting spells, she can precisely remove the “lesions” afflicting demons and ghosts.
From then on, Gu Qingci's clinic is packed with patients.
Not only humans, but demons and monsters come from far and wide to seek treatment.
Fox demon: “Doctor, I've been shedding a lot lately. Can you give me a hair transplant?”
Zombie King: “Doctor, my arthritis is acting up. Can I get titanium alloy joints?”
With a scalpel in one hand and her gold-rimmed glasses in the other, Gu Qingci smiles. “One at a time. Take a number first.”
