Life is always full of twists and turns.
Nan Buzhao was lucky when it came to the college entrance exam and got into medical school.
But just before she graduated, the standardized residency training policy, which had been piloted for several years, officially took effect.
People who could previously earn their degree after a one-year internship in their fifth year now had to complete three years of residency training and earn a certificate of completion before they had a chance of staying at a hospital...
So Nan Buzhao decided to return to her hometown and work at a community hospital as soon as she graduated!
You could get a job there without a residency certificate!
But that idea vanished on the very first day she went to sign in for her internship.
"A medical life simulation opportunity has been detected for the Host. Would you like to begin the simulation?"
"You performed exceptionally well during your residency at Dongxiang Medical University Affiliated Hospital, and the hospital kept you on.
But with no connections and poor interpersonal skills, you were eventually assigned to the emergency department, where you became a resident physician.
In your fifth year in the emergency department, you finally got promoted and were appointed an attending physician.
As everyone knows, being a doctor is a high-risk profession.
In your eighth year in the emergency department, you were unable to save a patient seriously injured in a car accident, and the patient's family took you out with a single slash.
You are dead.
You lived to the age of 34.
Simulation No. 10 complete. Choose one of the following rewards.
Option 1: 1,000 rescued patients
Option 2: 3 significant memory fragments
Option 3: 112,000 yuan in inheritance
Option 4: 1 Chronicle of Fortuitous Encounters"
Unfortunately, the conditions for getting a simulation opportunity were quite unusual.
Over the course of her one-year internship in her fifth year, she only got nine simulation opportunities in total.
And she... really wasn't a genius.
It took her until her fourth simulation to get into graduate school, and until her seventh to get a chance to stay at her university's affiliated hospital. Even then, she could only stay in the emergency department.
And every time, her career in emergency medicine ended either with her dying from overwork or getting killed in a medical dispute. She never lived past 35...
Even with a golden finger, it was no use...
Should she just quit medicine!?
As the old saying goes, you can succeed at anything if you don't study medicine!
But in the tenth simulation, during the final month of her internship, the simulator presented a fourth option for the first time.
"Chronicle of Fortuitous Encounters: A fortuitous encounter is half a gift and half a trial. Arrive at Huijia Dining Hall on Dongru Road before 11:30 a.m. today, and you may trigger a special encounter."
And then...
"This can't be scripted?! There's a medical student who crushes doctoral students and postdocs on the career observation reality show Different Interns!"
"What do you mean, you can watch a surgery and then perform it yourself?! Are you kidding?"
"Wait, is it really that easy to publish an SCI paper?"
"The production team never expected to find a real power-fantasy heroine! I'm convinced she got that advanced training spot."
"Isn't she a medical genius?!"
Nan Buzhao: "Huh? I'm really not a medical genius!"
She'd just done more than a thousand simulations, until she alone could match an entire top-tier hospital... that's all!
Note:
1. The story is set in a parallel universe. This is a non-mainstream power fantasy with a non-mainstream simulator! There are many original fictional elements. This book will not treat illnesses or encourage anyone to study medicine!
2. Case details and other information come from papers, books, films, music, the amazing internet, friends, and even my own imagination. I will do my best to provide complete references. Please point out anything inappropriate, but don't take it too seriously. Professional guidance is welcome, of course. The medical reality show's inspiration comes from the third season of The Heartwarming Offer, the medical season.
3. This blurb is not yet final! Note left on March 1, 2026. I hope to build up a backlog of over 100,000 words before starting the novel.
Theme: May the world be free of illness, and may there be no need for doctors.
