The Rise of a General's Daughter-in-Law Doctor

Chapter 5 Striving for Excellence

Since he started using diet meals, Li Muxia has been trying different methods to lose weight every day. Right now, he's practicing yoga again. Practicing yoga is a real challenge for an overweight person. Watching Li Muxia's various contorted poses, Hong'er next to him became more and more curious and worried that Li Muxia would injure himself.

"Miss, what kind of kung fu are you practicing? I've never heard of it before."

Li Muxia thought to herself: Of course you ancient people haven't heard of this.

"Oh no, Hong'er, come help me! My leg is stuck, please help me pry it open. Hurry!"

"Oh, miss, please bear with it, I'll help you right now."

It took Hong'er a lot of effort to straighten Li Muxia's fat legs. She didn't know how Li Muxia had managed to twist her legs into that position.

"Miss, what kind of practice are you doing? Don't hurt yourself."

"What do you know? This is called yoga, and it's a very effective exercise for shaping your body."

"Sports, what is sports? Is it a kind of kung fu?"

"Sports are activities that involve physical strength and skill, and they can help us maintain a healthy body. Kung Fu, which you mentioned, is also a type of sports, right?"

Xiao Hong still didn't quite understand after listening, but she didn't ask any more questions, because ever since her mistress woke up, she had been speaking very strangely, and they could hardly understand a few of her sentences. Xiao Hong didn't think much of it and just assumed that her mistress had lost her memory.

Since accepting the fact that he had transmigrated, Li Muxia began to cherish this opportunity for rebirth. The first thing he did was to change his body shape. Back then, our Li Muxia was a beauty, so how could he tolerate being so fat now? Moreover, obesity is not good for the body. He couldn't let himself die so quickly after being reborn. Then, he wanted to enjoy the hard-won family affection. He hadn't been able to properly take care of his grandfather in modern times, but now that he had come to ancient times, he had met a grandfather who was so good to him. Of course, he had to take good care of his grandfather.

And so, Li Muxia persisted in exercising every day and changed her diet a lot, mainly focusing on vegetarian food. At first, everyone felt it was strange, but later, they found that the current Li Muxia was more likable than the previous Li Muxia. She was kind to people, never put on airs like a young lady, and was lively and cute. Although she didn't have the gentle elegance of other young ladies, this Li Muxia was more real and more likable.

Seeing the changes in Li Muxia over this period, Cui'er felt both happy and excited. Her young lady had returned to being the beloved young lady she used to be.

After exercising, Li Muxia would take a shower and then go to the study to get a few books to read. In less than a month, he had finished reading all the books in the study. Because it was a general's mansion, most of the books in the study were about military strategy and history, with only a small portion being medical books.

In her previous life, Li Muxia studied medicine, specializing in surgery. She excelled academically and spent a year as an exchange student in the UK, where she participated in numerous complex surgeries under her mentor's guidance. Due to her outstanding performance, she was highly sought after by many renowned British hospitals, but ultimately chose to return to her home country. And now, having just returned and before she could even enjoy her career, she's transmigrated here.

However, Li Muxia also really likes traditional Chinese medicine and has always wanted to learn it, but she has never had the time. Now that she has come to ancient times, she has plenty of time to learn and can study traditional Chinese medicine to her heart's content.

For the past month, Li Muxia has spent her time exercising to lose weight and staying at home reading medical books. The General's Mansion doesn't have many medical books, and Li Muxia finished reading the only five or six medical books in the mansion in less than ten days.

One of the books recorded Chinese medicinal herbs, two recorded minor ailments in daily life, one was even about obstetrics and gynecology, and two recorded symptoms and treatments that might occur during military campaigns. It was thanks to her exceptional memory and medical knowledge from her previous life that she could digest all this information in ten days. Since these six books weren't very comprehensive, Li Muxia decided to find more medical books outside after reading them.
