A Doctor in Republican-Era China with a Pharmaceutical System

Zhou Lü transmigrates into a Republican-era novel he'd been reading, becoming a minor male character destined to be cannon fodder.

His business fails, and his whole family starves to death in the slums?

Not a chance. He'll use the skills of a master surgeon to turn things around and lead his family to a life of comfort and abundance.

What? Anti-inflammatory drugs and antibiotics are scarce and cost a fortune?

System: Penicillin, cephalosporins, tetracycline, or chloramphenicol. Take your pick.

Patient A: Dr. Zhou, please, I'm begging you, save my master. He's dying.

Patient B: I'll pay a thousand gold coins for penicillin. If you'll sell it to me!

Patient C: Dr. Zhou, would you be willing to work with us to develop antibiotics? It would be a contribution to our entire country!

Foreign country: Who leaked the technology? We invented this medicine!

War breaks out, and medicine is in desperately short supply. You can't even buy it!

Zhou Lü: I'm here, I'm here. Just tell me what medicine you need. I have a pharmacy that produces medicine around the clock. I'll make as much as you need, no holding back.

Foreign country: (flips the table) Impossible! How could they mass-produce it with their current technology?

Thanks to his exceptional medical skills, Zhou Lü becomes a leading authority in medicine, and countless students under his tutelage become top medical experts!
