Second edit: I'm participating in an event, so I'll be revising the text from time to time. Some chapters may change, but the overall story will remain the same. (Revisions will happen alongside updates.)

Ling Xing, a modern outdoor first-aid specialist, accidentally touched a bronze token engraved with a mystic bird and was transported to the Great Yao Dynasty, surrounded by the Xiongnu. She landed in the northern wilderness.

Using her wilderness survival skills, she endured the harsh conditions, and treated soldiers and civilians with modern first-aid techniques. She had hoped to find a way home, but instead she met the brash, brilliant young general Huo Qubing, a cavalry commander beyond compare.

When they first met, he was a young general in bloodstained silver armor, while she was a woman from another world, dressed in rags but with a clear, bright gaze.

As they spent time together, she devised battle plans for him, treated his injuries and illnesses, and guarded the rear, while he kept her safe, spoiled her without restraint, and stood up to convention for her.

When they pledged their lives to each other, they fought side by side on the battlefield and joined forces to command respect at court. With her otherworldly wisdom, she helped him win one remarkable victory after another, even defying heaven to rewrite his fate of dying young.

From the military camps on the frontier to the marquis's residence in Chang'an, from the winds of the desert to the drizzle of Jiangnan,

He was the love she had carried across a thousand years, and she was the only one he would ever cherish.

"Ling Xing, with you in this life, the lands stretching thousands of miles are all roads leading home."

"Huo Qubing, I came from a thousand years in the future just to keep you safe and happy, year after year, with me by your side."

Young general x doctor from another world

One heart, one lifetime, together guarding the vast lands.
