A Beautiful Female Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine Arrives at an Island Military District [The 1970s]

After two days and one night of surgery, Jiang Li had barely had a chance to rest before she transmigrated into a novel set in the 1970s, becoming a fake heiress who made trouble everywhere she went.

The real heiress returned and took the original owner's job, as well as her place in the worker-peasant-soldier student program.

As for Jiang Li...

She was facing a return to a poor island, where she would have to raise her two younger siblings, a boy and a girl, who had lost both their parents.

The wooden house on stilts swayed in the island winds, and the cupboard at home held nothing but half a cold sweet potato. Fortunately, she knew medicine. With medical resources scarce on the island, she rolled up her sleeves and got to work at the clinic.

The Jiang family on the island had a politically suspect background, and everyone who crossed paths with them would go out of their way to avoid them. Then the number of patients Dr. Jiang cured kept growing...

"Anyone who dares bully Dr. Jiang will have to step over my dead body first!"

"Dr. Jiang, you're out of water, right? I'll go fetch some for you."

"Dr. Jiang, these lobsters were just caught. Look how fresh they are!"

Gradually, Jiang Li became more and more famous on the island. Then, when the college entrance exam system was reinstated, she even got into university.

When Jiang Xiaoxiao heard the news, recently expelled from school, she bit her lip in fury.

In her dream, Jiang Li had been ostracized on the island and lived a miserable life. So why was she living so comfortably now?

Worse still, years later, the two younger siblings Jiang Xiaoxiao had dismissed as burdens would become, respectively, the richest person in Huaguo and a respected nuclear submarine research expert.

There was a military garrison on the island, and Jiang Li could hear the wake-up bugle every morning. One time, she came across a man whose shoulder had soaked through his training uniform with blood. As she helped clean his wound, he remained calm and silent.

She couldn't help taking a curious look at him.

She had heard that he was the infamous Colonel Yan, a strict commander whose troops were as disciplined as iron. Still young, he had already earned numerous battle honors, and rose through the ranks faster than a missile.

There were also rumors that he refused to go on blind dates because he was asexual and had no interest in women.

Jiang Li paid no attention to the gossip. Whenever the man came to the clinic to get an injury treated, she took great care with it.

Until one day, Jiang Li was sent to a matchmaking event. After listening to a divorced man talk on and on about how she would have to raise his child, Jiang Li couldn't help covering her mouth with her fair hand to yawn.

The next second

"Bang!"

The chair tipped over, and a well-defined hand grabbed the rambling divorced man and hauled him up.

Then a stern, chilling presence drew near.

Jiang Li looked up and met the man's deep, steady gaze.

He said, "I'm cutting in."

Cheng Jingchuan wore a crisp white military uniform and sat down with a straight back and a solemn expression, as if he were about to head into battle and face death at any moment.

He laid out his bankbook and military medals one by one.

"Comrade Xiao Jiang."

"This is my bankbook and the honors I've earned. If you're willing, I can submit a marriage application to the army whenever you like."

Jiang Li: Huh?

I thought he was asexual?

It wasn't until much later, after two beds at home collapsed one after another, that Jiang Li rubbed her back and looked utterly aggrieved.

What do you mean asexual? That was all a lie!
