She's Really Not an Airhead: A Doctor of Internal Medicine

Su Tang had only just recovered the memories of her past life as a palace physician when she discovered she had transmigrated into an old-fashioned, everyone-loves-the-heroine novel. From the start, she was a minor cannon-fodder character, falsely accused and doomed to die, whose heart was meant to be given to the heroine. Su Tang: ? Give up my heart? False accusations over a medical dispute? Are you itching for trouble, little brother Pikachu? I am the woman at the top of the food chain! And so... A year later, everyone knew that Sixth People's Hospital in Shenzhen had a miracle doctor! She worked in internal medicine but specialized in traditional Chinese medicine. Every baffling illness other doctors couldn't cure was as easy as a common cold in her hands! Paralysis, vegetative states, lung cancer, Alzheimer's... Every seriously ill patient who came to see her praised her, saying they could live and fight for another five hundred years. Netizens: ?? What kind of fake advertising is this? I'm reporting it! An internal medicine doctor using traditional Chinese medicine? Is she even licensed? What a lawbreaker! Netizens: She can cure cancer and terminal illnesses too? What kind of illiterate nonsense is this?! @Police Department @Health Bureau, get out here and do your jobs! But thirty minutes later... More than a dozen trending news stories and videos about Su Tang were liked and reposted by verified accounts belonging to major state media outlets, sending her straight to the top of the charts. In the footage, a girl in a white coat spoke seriously with her patients. Her round, doe-like eyes were earnest, and her fair, lovely features were dazzling. The patients listened attentively, treating her with the utmost respect. But the patients looked strangely familiar to everyone. Netizens: ?!! Isn't that Chairman Song, the real estate tycoon? And Chairman Xie, the entertainment mogul? One was in a vegetative state, the other paralyzed by a stroke. And isn't that Wei Yan, the richest man in the country?! He was paralyzed in a car accident for three years without recovering. How are they all standing and talking now? Netizens: Huh? That's top-tier actress Ye Shuang and international superstar Alfred! Good heavens, their family members had lung cancer and leukemia? Netizens: Holy crap! There's a Nobel Prize-winning professor and a national master of nuclear physics too. They came here as well??! Sharp-eyed netizens also noticed that the Police Department and Health Bureau had reposted the videos. Netizens: I'm feeling conflicted. This is really hard to process. And so, Su Tang took the internet by storm, and her fans surged both at home and abroad. Anyone with a sick family member thought of Su Tang first. Medical students even put Su Tang's photo up in their dorms, praying for the god of medicine to bless them so they could pass every exam! Su Tang: ...That's, that's really not necessary. Still, when her many longtime patients saw the trending stories online, they felt a little awkward. Chairman Song stammered: To be honest, I like the wrinkle-removal cream Doctor Su gave me even more. It works wonders, far better than cosmetic procedures. Chairman Xie hesitated: Actually... I prefer Doctor Su's massage. It feels wonderful all over, like the work of a top massage therapist. The master of nuclear physics stuttered: I think the medicated meals Doctor Su makes taste even better. They're on par with a state banquet chef's cooking. I don't even want to leave the hospital after eating them. Su Tang: ??? What's with you people? I'm a real doctor, not a beauty queen, state banquet chef, or massage therapist! And so, before the novel's plot had even begun, the medical dispute targeting Su Tang was reported and the online abuse exposed. Before the story could start, the male and female leads were already finished: their families had disowned them, their companies had blacklisted them, or netizens had filed complaints against them. Ten years later, the original heroine still hadn't gotten her heart transplant and was barely clinging to life in a hospital bed. Original male leads: ??!! Original heroine: ??? Later, Su Tang married Wei Yan, the richest man in the country. All products under the Wei Group went on sale at half price, and Wei Yan thought the netizens would congratulate them. Instead... Netizens: !! Damn! That's capitalism for you. He doesn't marry a glamorous celebrity or a rich heiress. He goes straight for a self-made miracle doctor! He gets money, a long life, and a beauty all at once. Sure enough, that Wei guy is a heartless capitalist! Wei Yan: ...?? You called me Daddy Wei when I reposted a giveaway yesterday. Isn't it a little fast to change your tune today? This story has little romance and is all about Su, Su, Su, and a great time. It's pure wish fulfillment. Just enjoy the ride! P.S.: 1.

This world has powerful pet beasts, mysterious secret realms, dangerous natural disasters, all kinds of beast-taming schools and breeding bases. Even electricity is mainly generated by pet beasts, and a master beast tamer can destroy an entire city single-handedly! As she looks at her classmates, all fired up and eager to become the strongest beast tamers and beast breeders, and at this beast-taming world that seems to run on pure adrenaline... Song Yu stares with dead-fish eyes, wanting nothing more than to lie flat and be a salted fish... She, Song Yu, was a child star at three in her previous life, and by her twenties she'd won so many domestic and international Best Actress awards she couldn't keep count. She never wanted to spend another life working herself to the bone, fighting through crowds until she was at breaking point, only to die from overwork. Wouldn't it be lovely to eat, drink, earn a little money, grow a few flowers, and live a happy life? What good are money and fame if you're not alive to enjoy them? And so... From that day on, Song Yu put all her acting skills to use, becoming a drama queen who wanted nothing more than to be a happy little slacker. Her twin brother told her to train. Song Yu clutched her heart delicately, her pale little face streaked with tears: "Brother, go train. Don't worry about me. With a body like mine, how could I ever get into a place like Kyoto Beast-Taming University? I want to go there, of course, but I'd only hold you back..." Brother Song: !!! Don't say that, sis! I'll definitely get you into Kyoto Beast-Taming University! Her contracted pet beast had a combat class. Song Yu got out of bed, took two steps, wobbled, then collapsed with a thud. She coughed weakly: "I'm holding you back. Because of me, you have to train all by yourself. If I weren't so sickly, you'd be able to become a combat master like a Dominion-class pet beast. Cough, cough, cough..." Pet beast: !!! Waaah! My beast tamer is such a good person. Even though she's sick, she still wants to keep me company! Don't worry, beast tamer, I'll become a Dominion-class combat master! Song Yu: ...?? I feel like something's not quite right, but I can't put my finger on it. Song Yu: Never mind. As long as I can lie around at home, watch TV, order takeout, and feed my lazy self, that's good enough. But heaven knows how it happened: her brother, who usually ranked in the middle or lower, performed far beyond expectations and came first in the entire province, somehow dragging her, a low-scoring student, into Kyoto University. Her contracted pet beast, whose talent was perfectly average, became a combat master. Even the pet beast she'd picked up at random taught itself and became a beast breeder... She hadn't even competed in the National Beast-Taming Championship, yet somehow she earned the title of National Beast-Taming Master?! Song Yu: ?????? No... What's going on with your world? Have you all gone crazy?! How is someone who wants to be a slacker supposed to keep living like this? Seeing the reporters' cameras shining like spotlights and everyone's burning gazes, their cheers as loud as New Year's celebrations, Song Yu almost burst into tears. What did she know about beast-taming and breeding guidelines, or training combat talent? She knew nothing at all! And yet... Faced with the reporters and fans looking at her expectantly, with microphones held to her lips, Song Yu, fighting back tears and slipping into character, said: "I think the secret to raising pet beasts is to care for them every day, cherish them, and treat them like family. When they feel our love, they'll naturally return it." Pet beasts: ...? Something seems wrong, but we can't bark it out. The reporters and fans at the scene suddenly understood: So that's how it is! Thirty years later. When people asked why the Far Eastern Empire had so quickly become the greatest beast-taming empire among the Ten Great Empires, its citizens replied: Of course it's because we treat all our pet beasts like family! They're our brothers and sisters, even if we have different parents! Citizens of the other empires: ?????? Song Yu: … Theme: Healing with skill and preserving historical culture
