The Little Medicine Immortal Is Both Righteous and Wicked

Sixteen-year-old Su Heng is the bane of everyone at the medical sect in Spirit Orchid Valley. When her senior brother sneaks a drink of medicinal wine, she gives him a dose that leaves his face covered in rashes and keeps him on the toilet all day. During the sect's examinations, one prescription has the elders bristling with rage. But then she brings a terminally ill patient, barely clinging to life, back from the brink with just three doses of medicine. She saves lives with her golden needles, and when it comes to treating people, no one can match her poisons. Along the way, she treats a mental illness dismissed as possession by ghosts, exposes fake safflower dyed with pigment, and silences all opposition in a plague-stricken city with her understanding of true and false cold and heat. One remark on preventing illness before it arises makes her a legend. She never asks about a patient's status or wealth, only: Where is the root of your illness hidden? In a world where taking your pulse can reveal whether you kicked off your covers last night, one bowl of medicinal food beats ten tonics, and a single silver needle can bring the dead back to life... She doesn't just want to become a divine physician. She wants to unite the many schools of medicine in a single medical text, found her own tradition, and leave her writings to the ages. "I can poison people because I'm good at it. I don't poison people because of my medical ethics. Don't confuse the two." Eastern medicine, a celestial healer descends into the mortal world. 【Fun fact】Every medical case in this book is based on a real concept in traditional Chinese medicine: yin and yang, the five elements, the four examinations, the eight principles, six-channel pattern differentiation, the chief, deputy, assistant, and envoy roles of herbal formulas, and the unity of medicine and food... Read this book, and you'll truly understand traditional Chinese medicine.
