The Little Doctor of Kyoto

Shen Qing, a modern doctor of traditional Chinese medicine, gets caught up in a medical dispute and made a scapegoat, then transmigrates into the daughter of a poor family in the ancient capital of Kyoto. Her father is a wandering doctor who makes his rounds through the streets, her mother is a midwife, her grandfather is sickly, her grandmother is stingy, her eldest younger brother is sly, her younger sister is feisty, and her youngest brother is a little troublemaker. Money is always tight. Their table goes without meat all year round, and she's never even seen new clothes. Her three younger siblings find new ways to get into trouble every day, and someone is always coming to Shen Qing for help. "Shen Qing, your grandfather's taken ill again!" "Shen Qing, your mother needs you to help with a delivery!" "Shen Qing, your little brother's bullying someone else's child again!" Shen Qing, who was forced to transmigrate: What a mess. The whole house is in chaos, and I'm always cleaning up after my family. This isn't the life I wanted. With the modest goal of having enough to eat and wear, Shen Qing has no choice but to return to her old profession. Her grandfather has been ill for a long time? Treat him! Her father is a quack? Teach him! Her younger siblings are unruly? Give them a thrashing! With her own efforts, Shen Qing turns the scattered Shen family into a united whole. Working together, they charge down the bright road to prosperity. Just when they've finally started living well and Shen Qing is about to catch her breath, a matchmaker shows up at the door. "Doctor Shen, that young scholar next door... He says that even though you saved his life, you also saw him naked... and now he wants you to take responsibility!" Shen Qing, about to lose it: "Isn't this blackmail?!" ****** Divider for upcoming novel ****** "The Little Chef of Yanjing" Wu Mei, a private-cuisine chef, accidentally eats some poisonous mushrooms. When she wakes up, she's become the second daughter of a flatbread shop in Yanjing. Her father died young, and her widowed mother works from dawn to dusk to support the family, always busy and on her feet. Looking at the little ones clamoring for food, Mei Niang has no choice but to pick up the spatula. At first, she only wants to feed her younger siblings. But within days, the neighbors in the alley come drawn by the delicious aromas. "Sister Mei, do you have any more of that mulberry jam you made last time?" "Second girl, I'll take ten of those flatbreads with preserved mustard greens!" "Mei, that little wine stall up front wants twenty catties of braised pig's head!" With her knack for turning ordinary ingredients into delicious dishes, Mei Niang quickly becomes the neighborhood's culinary trendsetter, and her little flatbread shop thrives. The poor folks in the alley suddenly grow plump and rosy-cheeked, brimming with hope, which catches the attention of the Five Cities Military Command. Several officials come in person to investigate the case. Three days later, Commander Gu slowly makes his way out of the alley, leaning against the wall, followed by a line of subordinates staggering along and burping nonstop. "Have everyone stand down. There's no stolen property here. The food's just too delicious..." Commander Gu looks back at the sign above the flatbread shop and suddenly feels that life has a new purpose. If he could eat food this delicious every day, what more could he ask for? Theme: May all people in the world be free of illness. What does it matter if the medicine on the shelves gathers dust?
