The Divine Tree Connects Past and Present, and Ancient Physicians Worship Me as a God!

[Ancient-to-Modern Connection + Sweet Romance and Growing Together + Mutual Healing + Fictional Setting]

Su Ruoli unexpectedly discovers that the ancient tree at her home connects to a completely fictional dynasty from a thousand years ago. There, she meets the disciple of a renowned ancient physician.

He says a plague is raging, and begs the gods to grant him medicine.

He says countless people are starving, and offers gold, silver, jewels, antiques, and paintings in exchange for food and clean water from the gods.

Su Ruoli waves a hand and agrees.

She teaches him greenhouse farming to end the famine and curb soaring food prices;

she teaches him to dig wells, heat the water, and purify it;

she teaches him to combine Chinese and Western medicine to treat difficult and unusual illnesses.

In return, he occasionally sends her antiques, paintings, gold, silver, and jewels, helping her take on her awful relatives and turn the tables with a face-slapping comeback.

Su Ruoli always thought the man was a block of wood.

Until one day,

she notices that something about him seems to have changed.

“Ruoli, fresh fruit has grown in the greenhouse. Would you like to try some? I’ll feed you.”

“Ruoli, the wind is bitterly cold and the roads are slippery with snow. Why not stay here tonight instead of going back?”

Could this be a case of the old iron tree finally blossoming?

Or did she simply train him well?

My name is Xiao Zimo, a disgraced physician framed by villains.

In the fifth year of Linzhao, plague ravaged the land, and bodies littered the ground. It was like hell itself.

The crops failed completely, and the common people could barely survive.

She gave me the medicine that could save the world.

She gave me clean, clear water and solved Tianjiang City’s desperate need for food and water.

And she warmed the heart I had long sealed away.

I offer you mountains and rivers as my betrothal gift, and the sun and moon as my wedding presents.

I make this vow: may we share warm wine and fragrant tea, together every morning and every evening.
