A vengeful doctor in a chaotic era x a calm, gentle rebel general
The main story is complete (rolling around and begging for bookmarks~~)
Su Xiu was born into a prominent family. At eight years old, she rolled across a board of nails to clear her father's name, but in the end, her whole family was still slaughtered.
Rescued by her mentor at a medical clinic, she learned to hide her talents and keep herself safe. She acted like a good-for-nothing who was lazy and loved to eat, with the goal of lying flat and giving up. She never expected her enemies to target her despite her keeping such a low profile.
She faked her death to escape disaster, then decided to stop holding back. The good-for-nothing young doctor transformed into a legendary physician amid the chaos.
The court churned with intrigue and the martial world roiled, while she resolved to overthrow the era itself!
After saving a rebel, she infiltrated the military as an army doctor and took the sword meant to destroy the imperial court into her own hands.
She planned carefully and maneuvered step by step, picking off her family's sworn enemies one by one.
She eased tensions with foreign tribes, understood the people's needs, and sought to improve their lives.
Having help on the road to the top would naturally make things twice as easy, and Su Xiu's rebel companion was truly someone she could trust.
When people doubted her, the rebel would pull out a firearm and scare them off.
When she was at her wits' end, the rebel asked her, "Su Xiu, will you follow me?"
When she was short on cash for gambling, the rebel tossed her a money pouch: "Here, use this as military pay. Go ahead and bet with it."
Su Xiu opened it and saw more gold than she'd ever seen in her life.
She always thought the rebel leader treated her so well because they shared the same goals, but she unexpectedly discovered that the rebel had another identity...
*
Lord Baiyu's surname was Xue, his given name Ying, and his courtesy name Baiyu.
Unfortunately, no one dared to call him by name.
He was the undefeated Holy Lord of the Wuhuan people, and the mysterious Wolf King of the Beiling lineage.
Everyone feared, supported, and revered him.
He wore a grotesque wolf mask and had the keen eyes of a hawk. No one knew how he had reached that solitary pinnacle. It was as if an invincible god of war had appeared out of nowhere in Beiling.
It seemed no one could glimpse the secrets behind his mask.
But the newly arrived army doctor seemed to be an exception. The Holy Lord favored her, indulged her in every way, and yet, though they seemed close, he maintained a strangely restrained distance...

Their gazes met, and the fire crackled softly.
Lord Baiyu abruptly closed his eyes. Unfortunately, there was nowhere left to retreat, and closing his eyes did little to calm his heart.
"Are you really set on this?"
At his words, the teasing look faded from Su Xiu's brow, and she replied seriously, "The world is as it is. I don't want to merely survive in this troubled era. I only wish to do all I can to carve out a place for us."
Reading guide:
1. Due to various uncontrollable and melodramatic factors, the romance goes like this: the male lead is passively baited, while the female lead openly takes the initiative.
2. More plot than romance (the political intrigue is very simplistic, written purely for my own amusement).
3. Older male lead, no rival women, no misunderstandings, and everyone communicates.
Theme: Improve the lives of the people
