Bai Zhu was born into a family of doctors. Her grandfather had risen to the rank of Assistant Director of the Imperial Medical Office, and for eight generations her ancestors had all served as physicians there.
Bai Zhu is sweet and bitter in flavor, strengthens the spleen and boosts qi, and is a gentle medicinal herb associated with the virtue of earth. Her grandfather gave her this name in the hope that she would be balanced and peaceful, safe and steady.
Bai Zhu certainly lived up to her name:
She was fair and neat, and utterly useless at her studies.
Everyone knows that being an imperial physician is a dangerous job, with your life hanging by a thread. Bai Zhu thought that after twenty years of studying hard, losing her life in a single stroke because the royal family had a medical mishap would be a terrible waste. Better not to learn this deadly family legacy at all.
Until she was sixteen. Years of war and grand construction projects had brought heavy labor demands and a sharp decline in the population.
The court issued an edict: parents of any unmarried woman who had turned seventeen would be punished.
Oh, no!
Between joining a convent and getting married, Bai Zhu chose to enter government service.
A half-literate doctor, second generation, boldly storms the Imperial Medical Office.
Help!

(This story is entirely fictional, deliberately absurd, and a full-blown farce. The illnesses are all based on internet searches, and the inspiration comes from online rumors. Everything has been exaggerated and turned into art, purely for fun. Don't take it seriously. Please don't overthink it. Just enjoy the spectacle with an open mind. Once again, the entire story takes place in the special setting of the late Brocade Era in the fictional Ningxi world. The transition to the Chaolu Era is necessary and sets the stage for the transformation of Zhanghua Terrace. Any similarities are purely coincidental! This has nothing to do with the real world or actual history! Do not read anything into it! Do not interpret it! This is a fictional ancient setting! A fictional ancient setting!!!!)
Theme: Put people first and stay true to your original intentions
The young man is chivalrous and makes friends with heroes from all five cities. Liver and gallbladder holes, hair rising. In the conversation, life and death are the same. A promise is worth a thousand pieces of gold🥺
Okay, okay, why are the knives stabbing me more and more 😭 After nearly half a lifetime, one reincarnation, things have changed and people have changed😮💨
There are peaches and plums all over the world, but I bear bitter melons myself 😆
I also met my junior sister when she was stuck at work [covering my face and laughing], and my pure heart was impacted again.
Xiaobaishu, this is a cow and horse (patting on the shoulder)
Senior Sister Su has such ability! Coming here is a bit overkill 😂
The moon moves the shadows of the trees, I like this description
Good sisters! I feel soft-hearted [spreading flowers]
