[Main Blurb]

The most stubborn patient in history × the fiercest doctor in history

Xu Jia, 20, comes from a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners and chose Western medicine as an elective at university. Her ancestors were imperial physicians, her grandparents are both renowned doctors, her father practices integrated Chinese and Western medicine, and her mother is a professor of Qin and Han history.

She joins a historical virtual-reality game, pays for a System, and transmigrates to 119 BCE. She has only one goal: save Huo Qubing, who died young at just 24.

Then she discovers that he may be the most difficult patient she's ever had in her career.

Take his medicine? Huo Qubing: "It's bitter. I'm not taking it."

Acupuncture? Huo Qubing: "It hurts. I'm not doing it."

Rest? Huo Qubing: "Military affairs are keeping me busy. I'm not sleeping."

But she has the confidence of a paying player. Anesthetic patches for acupuncture, honey for bitter medicine, and calming incense for staying up late.

Huo Qubing doesn't trust her. But he makes use of her.

He knows she's putting on an act. She thinks he doesn't know.

At first, he thinks the girl is crazy. Later, he realizes that for all her scolding, her medicine really works.

Later still, Zhao Ponu asks her, "What exactly did you do to the general?"

She says, "I didn't do anything. I just didn't run away."

The great battle beyond the northern frontier. Huo Qubing receives the title of Wolf Juxu.

She stays by his bedside for three days and three nights. Feverish and half-delirious, he clutches her sleeve.

"Don't go... I'll take my medicine... I'll behave..."

Later, Chang'an gets a miracle doctor at the Champion Marquis's residence.

Emperor Wu of Han drops by for acupuncture every now and then, while Wei Qing always watches his nephew get bossed around with a beaming smile, thinking it's one of life's great pleasures.

Then the System notification sounds: "Main quest complete. Returning to the real world shortly."

Only then does Xu Jia remember that she came to save someone, and once she has, she is supposed to leave.

But she'd already forgotten this was a game.

"I'm leaving."

Huo Qubing holds her hand and stays awake all night.

She stays awake all night too.

Reading guide:

1. There are many personal liberties taken with the setting. This isn't a traditional historical novel.

2. The male lead is Huo Qubing. If that bothers you, please move along.

3. This is simply an idea for changing a regrettable moment in history.

Theme: I thought I came to save you, but in the end, you saved me instead.
