The war on the borders of the Great Jing was brutal. Plague was rampant, and wounded and disabled soldiers had no one to treat them.
Su Ye, a military doctor and poison expert from the apocalypse, transmigrates into the body of a condemned slave and is sent to the borderlands to be assigned to a military household.
The other condemned women choose able-bodied, respectable officers to rely on, but she picks Xie Zheng, a former deputy general with a badly injured, broken leg, abandoned by the imperial court.
He coldly refuses: “I'm a cripple now. I can't drag anyone else down. Choose someone else.”
She replies calmly, “You won't be dragging me down. I can treat wounds, make medicine, and handle poisons. You still have a solid foundation. With you, I'll have someone to rely on.”
Xie Zheng before he has a wife: “This ruined body is useless. I might as well die on the battlefield.”
Xie Zheng after he has a wife: “The medicine my wife makes really works! The poison she brews is potent! Wife, make me ten more bowls of tonic!”
From then on, a doctor-and-warrior couple made their home on the border. He returned to the battlefield and swept away the enemy forces, while she treated the sick and injured with her medicine.
A medical officer mocks her for being a condemned slave who knows nothing about medicine? She answers with life-saving medical skills and a face-slapping comeback!
The plague is raging on the border? She makes medicine and brews remedies to bring the outbreak under control!
The enemy uses poison to attack the city? She turns their poison against them and drives them back a hundred miles!
Xie Zheng rises from a crippled, discarded general to a celebrated war god and noble. Everyone knows:
The most formidable thing about War God Xie isn't his martial prowess, but his wife, whose medical skills are without equal.

You wield your spear to slay our enemies. I'll protect you with medicine.
