[A ruthless, foul-mouthed, takes-on-the-world-and-even-his-“dad” police officer seme VS a gong in a twenty-year-old body, gentle on the surface but a technical genius and a tyrannosaurus in his field]

1.

Ye Yibo, a renowned surgeon, died unexpectedly in a car accident. When he woke up, he discovered that he seemed to have become the illegitimate son of a prominent family in a Republican-era TV drama set in the early twentieth century. The Huangpu River was the final destination for the family of three.

After cursing under his breath, Doctor Ye went to school to submit an application to change his major.

2.

Eight years of undergraduate, master's, and doctoral studies, three years of surgical residency rotations at eighty hours a week, and five years of specialty training.

Ye Yibo finally evolved from a nervous rookie who listened to his advisor scold him into a great demon king who could make junior doctors question their lives in a matter of minutes.

One day, after surgery, he looked coldly at the group of junior doctors trembling below him.

“With the most advanced equipment, the planned surgical site can be located to within one millimeter, and you still managed to do this? Doctors like you would only be fit to slaughter pigs in ancient times. No, you wouldn't even make the cut in the Republican era!”

The junior doctors looked ready to cry. Every one of them was so crushed they wanted to bury themselves in the ground.

One hotheaded doctor protested, “Doctor Ye, you couldn't perform surgery that precisely in the Republican era either.”

Ye Yibo sneered and replied, “Bullshit!”

And then he really did end up in the Republican era… MMP.

While pursuing a gang of human traffickers, Pei Zebi fished a miserable little fellow out of the Huangpu River.

The poor kid's eyes were red as he told him, “Thank you for saving me. I'll repay you someday.”

Pei Zebi's rescue had exposed his whereabouts. The traffickers got away, and he was demoted after being forced to fire his gun in a crowded street and injure someone.

Pei Zebi hadn't really expected the kid to repay him, but seeing the brat walk right past him without so much as a glance made him furious!

“Hah. Men. So ungrateful.”

Ye Yibo: “Achoo…”

-----Reader's Guide

1. This is an alternate-history story set in the Republican era. It borrows only the broad historical setting, so please don't read it as a depiction of actual history.

During the Republican era, China was a semi-colonial, semi-feudal society. Society was dark, the people suffered, and Western invaders were despicable! Vile! The story is told solely from the perspective of the protagonist, Ye Yibo. As one of the world's top surgeons at the time, he would encounter foreigners who were relatively friendly to him, but that does not represent society as a whole.

Major historical events and historical figures are sensitive topics, so they will not be mentioned in the story. The reason is simply that I want to stay safe, not that I intend to glorify society at the time.

Before reading, remember these sixteen words of protection: Remember history, never forget national humiliation, be grateful to our forebears, and cherish the present.

2. All surgical cases in this book are drawn from Huang Zhiqiang's Surgical Techniques. Any other sources will be noted in the author's comments for the relevant chapter.

[A seemingly cold but actually childish, fatherly neurosurgery big shot seme who ends up finding himself a dad VS a warm and popular dreamer who wants to lie flat but has no choice but to toil, a hapless shou]

After staying up all night and dying suddenly, Shen Bai, an associate researcher in basic medicine, was reborn in his youth. He came to a profound realization: a good life is meant to be enjoyed, and one's beloved family should be treasured even more.

He happily played the laid-back male lead of a rebirth novel until he discovered that he hadn't simply been reborn. He seemed to have been transported into a piece of “youthful angst fiction” that had been all the rage when he was a student.

The well-behaved girl who was about to become his stepsister was the heroine, while he was the tragic, devoted second male lead.

Shen “Already Lying Flat” Bai glanced at his birth mother, laughing cheerfully, then at his shy new father and sister, whose expressions were clearly ingratiating. He sighed in resignation. To keep himself from falling from being a little darling in a comfortable household to an orphan with nowhere to go, he would probably have to toil all over again in this life.
