After an unexpected awakening, Shen Jiang learns that she is a mere passerby, pure cannon fodder in a book.
As the heiress of a long-established traditional Chinese medicine family who never had to worry about food or clothing, Shen Jiang was dumbfounded:
Good news: she could foresee the future. Bad news: her family was about to be ruined and destroyed.
Shen Jiang was numb. But something even more stupefying was yet to come.
Shen Jiang came to possess a gate that periodically opened to another world.
And this gate led her straight into the lion’s den—or rather, she fell right into the lair… of the most ferocious dragon in that other world.
To survive, Shen Jiang proclaimed herself the evil dragon’s most devout believer, claiming she had traveled thousands of miles just to gaze upon his magnificent presence.
With a wicked sense of humor, the evil dragon handed his new believer the “weeds” that had long troubled him. “Go on, let me see your sincerity.”
The evil dragon thought this human would retreat in the face of those weeds, revealing her true nature.
But to his surprise, he was met with his believer’s cheers and praise.
Shen Jiang’s eyes gleamed:
A human-sized “Little Pagoda” of Cistanche deserticola? Pluck it, pluck it all.
Don’t underestimate this cluster of red berries; the root of a Panax notoginseng is buried beneath it. Dig it up, dig it all up.
Occasionally, when she went down the mountain, she also saved lives, healed the sick, practiced medicine, and even helped eliminate pests, earning her a constant stream of food from the villagers and successfully recruiting many new believers for the great evil dragon.
The evil dragon was very pleased with his new believer. The tiny human was piously pulling up weeds, cheering and leaping for joy from time to time, clearly considering the ability to serve the noble and great dragon as the highest honor.
The evil dragon was delighted and casually bestowed upon Shen Jiang a whole mountain…
…of weeds.
As if she had mastered the art of flattery, Shen Jiang redoubled her efforts, adding to the great evil dragon’s fame and successfully obtaining [Mountain] xN more times.
One day, the evil dragon, believing he should give his most loyal believer a special reward, flamboyantly blocked Shen Jiang’s path. “My loyal believer, reveal to me the deepest desire of your heart!”
Shen Jiang, who had been staring at the evil dragon as if he were the God of Wealth, froze for a moment, then said shyly, “…Could you, perhaps, take me to explore a few more mountains?”
The neighbors found it strange that the once-dying little medical clinic’s business was suddenly booming, to the point where a line was forming outside.
An envious onlooker snapped a photo of this scene and posted it with a mocking caption: “Little Clinic Disgraces Ancestors, Resorts to Hype Marketing.”
Just as netizens were about to start flaming, they noticed that the person at the very front of the line was none other than the business tycoon, Old Mr. Wang, and there was also the five-time Golden Dragon Film Award-winning actress, Yao Qian.
After digging up information on everyone in the line, the netizens let out a deafening shriek.
Holy crap!
Didn’t they say traditional Chinese medicine was a scam?
With so many big shots lining up to be fleeced,
who in the world is the owner of this clinic!
