The Mountain-Wilderness Doctor Who Farms

[Preorder: Reborn Poison Doctor Only Wants to Farm. The daily growth of a small-town girl into a master of medicine and poison. Please add it to your collection.]

While surviving in the wilderness of a primeval forest, Song Qianrong was bitten by a venomous snake. Everything went black, and she transmigrated to a fictional dynasty as the daughter of a local famous physician.

Unfortunately, from the start, she was dealt a terrible hand. The Song family was attacked by bandits on their way home, her family was murdered, and the original owner was driven to jump off a cliff.

She arrived at the small courtyard her father had left in a remote mountain village. When she opened the door, she was stunned. The house was completely empty, a perfect illustration of having nothing but bare walls.

Fortunately, she had learned first aid in her previous life, and the original owner had a solid foundation in Chinese medicine. Combining the two, Song Qianrong went into the mountains to gather herbs and came back down to treat patients, gradually earning herself a reputation.

In this era of male superiority, female doctors face widespread criticism. At first, no one had faith in her, until more and more patients came to Song Qianrong for treatment...

Merchants heading south asked her to prepare medicinal ingredients, while the wealthy of the city invited her to treat the women of their households.

She opened a clinic, took on female apprentices, and led the villagers in growing medicinal herbs, developing the Chinese medicine industry.

Years later, Song Qianrong's fame continued to grow, and stories of the legendary "female Bian Que and Lu Yi" spread everywhere.

Meanwhile, the doctors who had once so freely maligned female physicians gritted their teeth until they nearly cracked them, their beards already white and gray.

At a young age, Lin Qinghe had become a famous hunter in the surrounding villages.

Broad-shouldered, long-legged, and handsome, he was also aloof and never interacted with women. His family worried themselves sick over his marriage prospects.

One day, he chased a herd of deer to the bottom of a cliff, where he came across a woman being hunted by bandits.

He rescued her without a second thought, but injured his arm fighting the bandits. Blood soaked through his clothes.

The woman said she knew medicine and carefully treated his wound. Her warm breath brushed his skin, and Lin Qinghe stiffened from head to toe.

After that, Lin Qinghe couldn't help paying attention to her. He brought her game and accompanied her into the mountains to gather herbs.

To address the population problem, the imperial court forced men and women of marriageable age to wed. Unwilling to let the government matchmaker pair her with some unsuitable man, Song Qianrong chose him as her husband.

Lin Qinghe was overjoyed, only to hear the woman across from him say, "Once you find someone you truly like, we can get a divorce."

Much later, Lin Qinghe finally reached his limit. With red-rimmed eyes, he cornered her behind a door and asked in a muffled voice, "Can we go from pretending to be married to being a real couple?"

Reborn Poison Doctor Only Wants to Farm is currently being serialized.

Ye Shiyu unexpectedly transmigrated into a farmer's daughter in a border town. After being secretly harmed, she became a canary kept in the backyard of the young general of Zhaowu.

How could a wild goose that soars through the sky ever be content in a golden cage?

After being reborn, Ye Shiyu returned to the age of fifteen, standing at the street corner where she first met Gu Zhiting. She turned around without hesitation and walked into the vast mountains.

Everyone said the mountains were full of miasma and poisonous insects, and that no one who entered ever came out alive. But to her, every plant and tree was a life-saving herb, and every poisonous insect was a precious medicine waiting to be collected.

A hunter fell and broke his leg, the wound deep enough to show bone. Ye Shiyu brought out a wound salve made from notoginseng. "Stops bleeding and disperses bruising. It scabs over within three days. Want a bottle?"

A woodcutter was half unconscious after being bitten by a snake. Ye Shiyu dug up a plant of Diphylleia and asked with a bright smile, "Draws out poison and reduces swelling, perfect for snake and insect bites. Interested?"

A beekeeper ate something bad and couldn't stop having diarrhea. Ye Shiyu took out a pill made from coptis and costus root. "Relieves dampness and stops diarrhea. One pill works wonders. It's not expensive. How about it?"

Some people were horrified to see her gazing at a pile of animal droppings with shining eyes as she carefully taught her apprentices:

"Moon-gazing sand," left by wild rabbits, treats dim vision, eye film, sores caused by malnutrition, hemorrhoids, and fistulas.

"Night-bright sand," left by bats, clears the liver and brightens the eyes, disperses blood stasis, and breaks up accumulations.

"White clove," dropped by sparrows, treats indigestion, abdominal bloating, and growths in the eyes.

What, you say the ground is crawling with poisonous insects? Those are top-grade medicinal ingredients waiting to be processed!

She even brought herbs from the mountains to the hills around the village, filling the once-barren Tea Mountain Town with the fragrance of medicinal plants.

A few years later, merchants from all over gathered there, some to buy medicine, others hoping to meet the "Poison Doctor Immortal," whose fame had spread across the Southwest.

Rumor had it that her silver needles were masterful, her knowledge of poisons unfathomable, and she could bring the dead back to life, rescuing countless people from the gates of the underworld.

Even the decisive young general of the Southwest border army came to seek her help at her medicine hut.

As Ye Shiyu dried herbs, she spoke calmly: "I'll go treat patients with you, but I have one condition. I want exclusive rights to trade in medicinal herbs throughout the Southwest."

Gu Zhiting answered with a low laugh, "Done. Whatever you want, I'll give it to you."

His wolfish eyes fixed on her. "Even me."

[Reading Guide]

1. Fictional setting, very loosely based on anything, with many original elements. I am not a Chinese medicine professional, so please do not scrutinize the details.

2. The male lead was a jerk in his previous life. After being reborn, he becomes hopelessly lovesick: taciturn, secretly sentimental, prone to crying, and determined to compete for her. There is a romance, but much of the story focuses on her medical practice.

3. One-on-one romance, both leads' first relationship, both reborn. The female lead is firmly focused on her career, and the male lead has a long road ahead of him to win her heart.
