A Little Apothecary in Troubled Times

The heroine wants to live, and anyone who stands in her way dies vvss the hero wants to die, but his enemies have to die first * Tang Leyun, a doomsday-era woman nicknamed the "Poison Doctor," transmigrated into a book and became the story's scheming green-tea villainess. The original character was dripping with fake sweetness and acted viciously. After the original heroine drove her out, she returned to her rural hometown. Tang Leyun took stock of what she had: an old house, an acre of land, a medicine shop, and a few taels of silver. She smiled. With her wood-type supernatural ability, she could grow medicinal herbs and open a pharmacy. Whoever wanted to be the original heroine's foil could do it, but she wasn't going to. * New pharmacy rules: First, good medicine. Second, high prices. Third, no poisons or excessively potent drugs. As soon as the shop opened, the original heroine publicly announced that she had expelled Tang Leyun and her younger brother from the Tang Clan, and the clan would not be responsible for anything that happened at the pharmacy. Tang Leyun accepted gladly. This way, her family wouldn't have to take responsibility for anything the Tang Clan did either. Three months later, the pharmacy's fame had spread far and wide, and the wealthy and powerful came flocking. The original heroine came too. She not only wanted to ask for medicine for her grandmother, but also wanted to recruit Tang Leyun. Tang Leyun sneered: Who do you think you are? The original heroine replied: You'll regret this! The sickly, obsessive second male lead, who was supposed to pine after the original heroine without ever getting her in the book, spoke up: Get lost! * The book's transmigration System told Tang Leyun: The second male lead has been poisoned and doesn't have long to live. If he dies, you die. Tang Leyun was undaunted. If she didn't let him die, he wouldn't die. She'd just have to fight for it! * In short, this is a love story about a woman from the doomsday era pressing forward despite various competitors trying to crush her, and sharing life and death with the obsessive second male lead during the final years of a cruel dynasty. Reader's guide: 1. When the heroine transmigrates, the hero has not yet fallen for the original heroine. 2. The hero's obsessive behavior isn't entirely what it seems; it's largely caused by psychological trauma. 3. The original heroine is portrayed negatively. (Not really, though. Everyone is just doing their job.) 4. The medical cases in this story are drawn from various sources. For medical advice or treatment, please go to a hospital and follow your doctor's instructions.
