Surviving in the Wilderness? I'm Just Gathering Herbs

Zhu Yu, heir to a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, is best at venturing deep into remote forests and scaling sheer cliffs to study wild medicinal herbs. After dying in an accident, he transmigrates into the body of a minor idol whose career has crashed after he tried to build a public image as a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine. The first thing he does after transmigrating is save an unconscious teammate. But the teammate turns around and accuses him of practicing medicine without a license. In the end, Zhu Yu loses what little savings he had and gets dropped by his agency. Before long, the whole internet is delighted to hear the news that Zhu Yu has quit showbiz. * No one expected Zhu Yu, who had been mocked across the internet for practicing medicine without a license, to show up on a wilderness survival show. Even fewer expected him to thrive there! When someone cuts their leg and wants to quit, Zhu Yu holds up some Jing Sanqi. "Reduces inflammation and relieves pain. Thirty yuan, including application." When someone gets an upset stomach, Zhu Yu digs up some bitter Huangqin. "Fights bacteria and stops diarrhea. Prices clearly marked. Thanks for your business." When someone gets bitten by a snake, Zhu Yu finds some Yexiazhu. "The perfect antidote to snake venom. You deserve it." He even puts up a little shopping link and starts selling medicinal herbs: "Seven-leaf ginseng, the only one in the world! One and a half million, take it or leave it. Link's up!" But when his former teammate, now a popular idol, collapses right in front of him, Zhu Yu tilts his head in confusion. "I don't have a license. Are you still willing to let me treat you?" Xu Xiangwan nods weakly. "I am." Zhu Yu lights up his phone. "First, I have certificates in traditional medicine, Chinese pharmacy, and acupuncture. My credentials are all in order. Second..." He smiles, his almond-shaped eyes curving. "I don't want to." The online backlash starts up again. People scold Zhu Yu for lacking compassion and medical ethics, and demand that all his licenses be revoked. Facing the internet's fury, Zhu Yu spreads his hands innocently. "The first time I saved him, he accused me of practicing medicine without a license, and I lost all my savings. This time, I really can't afford to save him." Onlookers: "Got it! It's the story of Dongguo and the wolf, the farmer and the snake, and the little miracle doctor and the scheming man!" * Zhu Yu's success on the show earns this fiery review from an online commenter: Just give him a pack of silver needles and a box of pills, and he's Hua Tuo reborn. Take away the needles and pills, and he's Shennong reborn! A bona fide healing support! That soon catches the attention of some rather special people. Before long, one visitor after another comes knocking at his door. "Hello, Mr. Zhu. I'm the representative of the Huaguo team for the international wilderness survival competition, Extreme Survival. On behalf of the team, I'd like to extend our sincere invitation." "Hello, Mr. Zhu. I'm the leader of the National Geological Survey Team. We hope you'll join us as a specially appointed consultant." Zhu Yu looks bewildered. "I only wanted to gather herbs." Extra Scene: When Song Zhiyan realizes he's fallen in love with a little money-grubber, his first reaction is relief. After all, he may not have much else, but he has plenty of money. But later, he realizes something seems off... What do you do when your partner earns a lot and is always away on business? Asking online. It's urgent! Netizens: "Just lie flat and become a full-time husband!" Song Zhiyan: "..." Zhu Yu checks Song Zhiyan's pulse. "What's wrong? You look troubled. Is something going on at work? Are you going bankrupt?" Song Zhiyan asks curiously, "What would you do if I went bankrupt?" Zhu Yu's eyes light up. He smiles, his eyes crinkling and two dimples appearing, then thumps his chest with confidence. "I'll take care of you!" Reader's Guide 1.

Still confused, he's "exiled" to a remote, neglected wasteland planet. Only then does Lin Yang slowly get his bearings and figure out his situation: He's transmigrated into the future and become the child of F26's richest man... or, more accurately, the child left behind by the richest man's first wife. After his first wife dies of an illness, the richest man quickly brings his new wife into the household, along with a son older than Lin Yang. Lin Yang is disowned and thrown out. When he's cast out, all he has to his name is a few thousand star coins and ownership of this wasteland planet. Well, wasteland or not, it's still a planet. He can live there, at least, and won't have to sleep outside. Lin Yang sighs and quickly accepts reality. He picks up his light luggage and walks into a house that doesn't even have a door. You have to admit, the place is run-down, but it's certainly huge... Wait! Those vermilion pillars hidden among the vines, that dusty canopy bed with its carvings still visible, those six-sided flowerpots with auspicious designs, completely buried under weeds... Lin Yang's eyes slowly widen. Then he dashes out of the house and looks around. Mom, I moved into the Forbidden City! "Ding-dong! Congratulations on activating the Business Support System. Please work hard in the days ahead!" * Planet M23, a remote, neglected garbage planet. After a thousand years of hardship, war, and upheaval, people have long forgotten its original name. Until one day... "The Earth Museum is officially open! A thousand years have passed. Do you still remember?" Remember? Remember what? Before people can even react, the promotional video that follows leaves them stunned: An ancient castle surrounded by the sea, a golden angel atop its spire, sword in hand and wings spread as if ready to take flight; White walls and colorful prayer flags, prayer wheels turning as people pray for peace; The Sphinx keeping company with a sleeping pharaoh; Gods in flowing robes dancing gracefully among the clouds; Boats gliding through misty rain, while great changes unfold behind red walls and golden roof tiles... It's a world no one has ever seen before, yet it stirs a deep sense of familiarity and longing. Netizens everywhere: "We have the time and the money! Where is it? Tell us now!" * The Earth Museum becomes a sensation. This obscure little wasteland planet grows incredibly popular, and Lin Yang's name spreads throughout the stars. Just when everything seems to be going well, his estranged father comes calling, demanding ownership of Planet M23. Lin Yang immediately rolls up his sleeves... and starts a livestream. "Come one, come all! The former richest man on F26 has gone bankrupt and is now trying to seize his ex-wife's child's property. Is this the death of humanity, or are some people just shameless..." First, seize control of public opinion. Then get the legal process underway! But before they even make it to court, the other party comes to apologize, trembling and groveling. Just as Lin Yang starts to suspect a trap, a massive starship descends. A group of people steps out, led by his usually "honest" and "pitiful" employee, Lu Xuan. When they first met, Lu Xuan had been filthy and unconscious in a garbage heap. Now he's tall and handsome in a sharp uniform, the gold on his epaulets gleaming brilliantly. Lin Yang blinks. "General Lu...?" Lu Xuan's lips curl slightly. "Allow me to introduce myself again: Lu Xuan, a Star Alliance general. I've come with the head of the Publicity Department to discuss stationing troops on Planet M23 and protecting its historical and cultural heritage with Curator Lin." Lin Yang narrows his eyes, looking wary. Another person here to steal Earth?!! Later, Star Alliance troops are successfully stationed on Earth to protect its safety. But outside the curator's courtyard, they put up a prominent sign: "Lu Xuan and dogs (the word 'dogs' is crossed out) are not allowed in!"
