The Doctor’s Path to Power

After they break up, his ex-girlfriend becomes his direct superior.

Shen Teng, heir to a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners and a key figure in the county's medical reform, is kicked to a remote mountain village to serve as deputy director of its health clinic after his patron falls from power. Everyone thinks he's finished, including Shen Teng himself.

But the very next day, the people who had been suppressing him suddenly change their tune. Funding, resources, and support come pouring in. No one tells him why; they only hint mysteriously that he has someone backing him.

What he doesn't know is that everyone mistakenly believes they are still a couple.

All he knows is that things are about to change at this mountain clinic.

And an even greater storm is quietly brewing in the upper echelons of officialdom.
