   A particularly good transmigration novel by Sen Sen, featuring a ghost doctor. Her medical and poison skills are top-notch. Sen Sen's writing is truly excellent. Don't be fooled by the rating. This has been adapted into a TV series. Search "Qing Luo" on Youku. It differs slightly from the original novel, but the main plot is still followable. I love the adorable, goofy Nan Nan.
