[No CP] [Strong Female Lead] [Ensemble Cast of Supernatural Beings] [Mystery Novellas]
She went up the mountain to dig up some shepherd's purse and somehow unearthed a mountain god?
Tong Yunchu had planned to inherit the family business and become an ordinary doctor, but the mountain god, Qi Lan, tells her: You made a great vow in a past life. A great calamity is coming, and I am here to protect you.
From then on, her medical career takes a strange turn:
A giant mountain snake seeks revenge, so she calls in a ritual master to help it pass on;
A patient in the county town suffers from a heart ailment, so she prescribes a remedy for their emotional troubles first;
Then things grow increasingly absurd:
A wealthy merchant dies mysteriously, a cult operates in secret, the royal family falls into an endless sleep, neighboring nations' fields lie barren...
One strange case after another finds its way to her, and the truth behind it all points to a cataclysm involving the karma of all living beings.
Tong Yunchu: I'm just a doctor. Why has the burden of saving the world fallen on me?
Qi Lan: Because you vowed to save all living beings, and I will protect you as you attain the Dao.
