[Building a career + Immortal Healer + Saving Lives + Strong Female Lead]
Shen Yi grew up in an orphanage. She had neither a father nor a mother, and with food in short supply, she was as skinny as a bean sprout.
Luckily, she had a keen sense for medicinal herbs. While searching the back mountain for herbs to treat injuries, she stumbled upon a ten-thousand-year-old ginseng root and a thousand-year-old Xuejian herb. The orphanage became rich overnight, and she became the hero of everyone there. The story even made the news.
“Shocking: Ten-Year-Old Girl Discovers Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Ginseng.” When a reporter asked her about it, Shen Yi scratched her head and said, baffled, “Isn’t this just a plant?” The orphanage director doted on Shen Yi like her own child, and all the kids at the orphanage called her their queen. Shen Yi had a pretty comfortable life. She was also incredibly bright. Though she didn’t start school until she was ten, she still managed to get into the traditional Chinese medicine program at Qingbei University.
An old woman collapsed by the roadside with heart failure. Shen Yi pulled out her acupuncture kit and brought her around with a single needle. The old woman praised her as Hua Tuo reincarnated.
That day’s headline read, “Shocking: Female College Student Is Hua Tuo Reincarnated.” The reporter interviewing her turned out to be the same one from years ago. Afraid Shen Yi might make another outrageous comment, he asked awkwardly, “How many needles did you use?” Shen Yi answered confidently, “One.” The reporter was speechless.
All she did was take a nap. When she opened her eyes, she found she had transmigrated into a period-drama Mary Sue novel as the tragic female side character. She was as ugly as a pig, but no problem: she made her own beauty-restoring potion and easily got her looks back.
Her father had broken his leg? No problem: a few months with her bone-healing salve and he’d be fine.
Her family was poor? No problem: she had awakened the Immortal Healer System.
From then on, she devoted herself to healing and saving lives.
