After treating a patient, Ye Ci fell into the water on her way home.
When she woke, a strong arm was wrapped tightly around her. A tall young man had pulled her out of the icy river and was ferociously swimming them back with one arm.
She had transmigrated into a book, a melodramatic story set in the 1970s, and become a universally hated, vicious supporting character?
The original Ye Ci shared her name and was a female medic in the Eighth Production Team of the Sixth Division at Yushu Gou Farm. And… she was a lousy doctor, selfish, and willing to let people die without helping.
To make matters worse, the Eighth Production Team was the worst in the original story: the harshest climate, the heaviest workload, the poorest conditions, and the most patients.
The team leader was useless and only wanted a transfer. The team had also suffered a tick-borne epidemic, leaving only eighty healthy, able-bodied workers.
…Why the hell did she transmigrate into this book, then!
After recovering the original owner’s memories, Ye Ci smiled at the young man who had saved her.
“Hello, comrade.”
“Doctor Ye, don’t worry. I’ll get you out of here.”
“No need,” Ye Ci said serenely. “Please throw me back into the river right now. Immediately. This instant.”
“…Huh??”
Proud, sharp-tongued beauty and traditional Chinese medicine doctor × innocent young man from the snowy wilderness, an orphan
[I will do everything in my power to save lives and heal the wounded, weather the long winter nights alongside the people, and welcome spring’s return to the land.]
Reader’s guide:
1. Transmigration into a book, fictional geography, customs and social norms inspired by the 1970s. Please don’t nitpick the details.
2. The author isn’t a traditional Chinese medicine expert, so please don’t use the medical cases in this novel as a reference. Please forgive any mistakes or omissions.
3. The focus is on everyday healing and saving lives, with a little romance on the side. Teacher-student romance and older woman-younger man romance. The love story is sweet, too.
4. The writing is slice-of-life and slow-paced, not a power fantasy centered on a strong female lead. The supporting characters get plenty of page time, and it’s a little ensemble-style.
