[Miracle Doctor + Character Development + Yandere Powerful Official + A Hundred Schools of Thought] Modern top medical student Duanmu Jinxu wakes one day reborn as a pitiful young woman who has just survived a jump from a cliff in the Great Xuan Dynasty, a land divided among warring states and rival schools of thought. On the sheer cliff face, she fights her way to survival.
Faced with the Mohists' giant crossbows battering cities, Confucian words that wound the heart, the military strategists' iron hooves, as well as rampant plagues and starving corpses, Duanmu Jinxu weighs the crude scalpel in her hand. “Not bad. Physical exorcism and saving lives with medicine. This is right up my alley.”
She saves the helpless, cures terminal illnesses, attends the state academy, establishes an unassuming medical school, and creates groundbreaking medicines. The medical arts once mocked as “base skills” become secret treasures fought over by the feudal lords, while the “useless pawns” she heals become fierce generals who reshape the tides of power.
Then there's the down-and-out young nobleman she took in. With a body and mind she painstakingly nursed back to health, he raises a bloodstained royal banner and uses the “investigation of things to acquire knowledge” she taught him as a blade, crushing the arrogance of the rival schools and marching on the capital.
He pins her against the desk, his breath scorching. “Teacher, they're fighting over the Way and the realm. What I've been fighting for... has always been you.”
