A crown princess who doesn't do infrastructure construction isn't a good doctor.

As night deepened, the corridors of the Capital Central Hospital, which were perpetually filled with the smell of disinfectant, fell silent, with only the occasional nurse on duty walking around with patients' families.

The young nurse was slowly drifting off to sleep, but the enthusiasm of being a new nurse spurred her on to slap her face to stay awake, though she was afraid of disturbing others and dared not speak too loudly.

"Dududu-"

A sudden phone call shattered the tranquility...

"Help! There's been a major car accident on the Ximen Overpass..."

Then came a flood of phone calls, and the once quiet hospital instantly became bustling with activity.

……

"The patient in bed number 6 is only two months pregnant. The vehicle collision caused minor bleeding due to the jolting. Fortunately, the penetrating injury in her lower back is in a relatively unfavorable location, and her condition is currently stable. Close monitoring is still necessary..."

Outside the ward, Qin Suiyou, who had performed countless surgeries, carefully instructed the two nurses in front of him while taking notes.

"I've noted it all down, Dr. Qin. It's almost all done. I see you're sweating profusely. You should rest for a while."

With his thin back leaning lightly against the wall, Qin Suiyou nodded.

"Ah."

Before the car accident, he had already undergone a highly complex surgery that lasted almost ten hours. He hadn't eaten anything, and after finishing, he drank a bottle of glucose and then slept for a while in his office.

I hadn't slept for long when I received news of a major car accident. Some of the doctors in the hospital who could perform the surgery had gone to other provinces for exchange and training, so there was a shortage of manpower and I couldn't get a proper rest.

The excessive workload has left him dizzy and lightheaded. His clothes are soaked with cold sweat, and his face, which is half covered by a mask, is pale. His legs feel unsteady and his hands are trembling.

Qin Suiyou glanced into the ward and pointed, "The medication over there is almost finished. You should prepare to change it. I'm going downstairs to get some rest. If anything happens, come to my office. I'm too tired to answer the phone."

"Okay, Dr. Qin, don't worry."

Despite his exhaustion, Qin Suiyou walked straight towards the stairwell like an elegant young nobleman.

"Dr. Qin is not only good-looking and has a great figure, but also has superb medical skills. She is simply a rare ideal in life."

"Yes, I didn't expect him to know traditional Chinese medicine. The pregnant woman in bed number 6 had her back pierced by a steel bar and was bleeding so badly, but he stabilized her condition with just a few injections."

"I wonder what kind of stunning beauty could tame a dream man like Dr. Qin."

"She might not be a stunning beauty; what if she's a super hottie..."

Qin Suiyou has excellent hearing, but even though he hasn't gone far, he can no longer hear what the two nurses behind him are whispering about.

He started experiencing tinnitus after taking only a few steps. He tried to prick himself with acupuncture needles to relieve the tinnitus, but he couldn't. The needles had been placed in his office before the surgery.

When I got to the stairwell, I found that one elevator was stuck on the twelfth floor and the other was broken and had not been repaired.

Qin Suiyou is currently on the sixth floor, wondering how long it will take for the elevator to come down. Anyway, his office is on the fourth floor, and taking the stairs will be faster. He needs to get back to his office to rest as soon as possible, since his idol image since childhood doesn't allow him to just fall asleep in the corridor.

Like an old man with faltering steps, Qin Suiyou's legs were too weak to take large strides, and he descended the steps one by one.

The stairwell light was on, and although Qin Suiyou wasn't nearsighted, he felt he couldn't see anything clearly. He shook his head and slowly moved down the stairs, holding onto the handrail.

After walking only a few steps, his breathing became increasingly rapid, and cold sweat poured down his face. Qin Suiyou felt as if the entire staircase had turned upside down. The sweat on his palms made it difficult for him to even hold onto the handrail. In a daze, he stumbled, and just when he thought he had regained his footing and was about to continue downstairs, everything went black before his eyes, and he fell forward.

The dull thud of flesh rolling down echoed in the stairwell, accompanied by the sounds of bones breaking and snapping.

"Ah!!! Help! Someone's fallen down the stairs! Lots of blood!!!"

At this moment, Qin Suiyou could still hear the sounds of the outside world. He heard the shouts of Ke Zuo, who had always regarded him as his biggest rival.

"Qin Suiyou! Qin Suiyou! The one surnamed Qin..."

Hey~

Qin Suiyou sighed silently to himself. Ke Zuo was quite amusing; the way he jumped up and down every time Qin Suiyou provoked him was hilarious. He'd been thinking of making up with him sometime and taking him in as a younger brother, but alas...

It is said that people look back on their lives when they are about to die. Qin Suiyou's life was short, only thirty years.

Not long after birth, it was abandoned for some unknown reason and suffered from frostbite in the dead of winter. It was then picked up by its grandfather, Qin Changtai.

The old man had no children. He lost his wife early in life and never remarried. Later, he moved to the small town where he met and fell in love with his wife and lived alone for decades, unwilling to trouble his relatives and younger generations to keep him company.

Seeing the little bundle curled up in a corner in the dead of winter, crying like a kitten, I felt sorry for it and took it home to raise. I named it Qin Suiyou, meaning peace and protection.

The Qin family has been practicing medicine for generations, and the old master Qin is even revered as a national treasure-level master. When he discovered that the child was extremely weak, he began to nourish him with medicinal herbs day after day.

The results were remarkable. Qin Suiyou not only recovered, but also mastered all of Old Master Qin's medical skills with his extraordinary talent. He skipped grades and entered university. He even joined the army with his uncle from the Qin family. After retiring, he returned to university to study Western medicine. During this time, he saw Old Master Qin off when he passed away peacefully. After graduating, he went to the Capital Central Hospital.

The Central Hospital has strict requirements, and even though Kozo comes from a family with a strong academic background, studied at a prestigious overseas university, and worked as an assistant physician for a long time.

Therefore, he was dissatisfied with Qin Suiyou for being able to perform surgery right away after only graduating from university. Even though Qin Suiyou performed the surgery perfectly, he still disliked him very much. His daily hobby was to pick on Qin Suiyou over trivial matters, and then he would be defeated and dejected, and then continue to provoke Qin Suiyou.

Now no one can hold Ke Zuo down. Qin Suiyou clearly felt that his life force was being drained away, and the pain was getting lighter and lighter. He was extremely afraid of pain, and he probably wouldn't feel it unless he was about to die.

Grandpa has gone to find Grandma. The Qin family members are all outstanding and have their own successful careers. His friends are also shining in their favorite fields. He still has his job as a doctor. He has experienced everything he wanted to experience. He has no regrets and can leave in peace...

But something seems to be missing... what is it...?

……

Whew~~Whew~~

A gentle breeze blew by, making one sigh in admiration.

In a vast, boundless place, wisps of mist filled the air. A gentle breeze dispersed some of the mist, revealing a figure that floated steadily in the fog without any support.

Qin Suiyou never expected that he could open his eyes again, but what he saw was neither medical equipment and a hospital, nor the underworld messengers who would take his soul and the Bridge of Helplessness for reincarnation.

Looking up at the fog above, Qin Suiyou slowly moved his hands and feet, only to find that there was no support beneath him. But through trial and error, he found that he could stand up. Looking down, he saw only layers of fog, with no bottom in sight, and he couldn't help but marvel at it.

After a short while, Qin Suiyou had completely taken control of his movements. His legs swayed alternately, and although he couldn't find solid ground, he was able to move slowly through the mist.

After walking in one direction for an unknown amount of time, Qin Suiyou clearly felt the fog thinning and a peculiar floral fragrance beginning to fill the air.

With a burst of energy, I moved forward, and finally the fog stopped swirling around me. My body began to fall, but not very fast.

Finally landing on the ground, Qin Suiyou, who had been moving in the fog for too long, collapsed from exhaustion and sat down on the ground.

The area without fog was exceptionally bright. Suddenly emerging from the darkness, Qin Suiyou was so struck by the sunlight that he frowned and had to close his eyes to catch his breath.

When the scene before him finally came into view, Qin Suiyou couldn't help but take a deep breath, his eyes widening in surprise.

At this moment, about two hundred meters in front of him was a forest composed of towering trees.

But what surprised Qin Suiyou was not the forest.

There were many beautiful plants and animals in the forest that he couldn't name even though he had seen a lot before. Two deer, whose entire bodies, including their antlers, were snow-white and whose bodies were surrounded by intricate patterns that shimmered with light, ran out of the forest and stopped in a clearing.

The smaller ones seemed quite excited, making a few "yoyo" sounds at the other deer in front of them. With a stomp of their front hooves, white mist gradually appeared on the ground beneath them, and within a few seconds it became a fog enough to cover the entire deer.

Then, carried by the fog, the excited deer floated into the air, continuing to call out "yoyo".

"Have I arrived in the immortal realm? Even deer can fly?" Qin Suiyou considered himself a model young atheist with sound moral values, but at this moment, his worldview was in shattering.

Just as Qin Suiyou calmed down and stood up, he heard the sound of flowing water behind him.

"It's cute, right? But it's also a show-off."

Upon hearing this, Qin Suiyou turned around and realized that the place he had just come from was below a clear lake, with the mist floating on its surface.

A figure walked straight out from a passageway that seemed to have a mind of its own, making room for it to move around.

Qin Suiyou experienced his first ever pupil shock.

The figure was walking on the lake, with bare feet peeking out from under the blue robe, seemingly touching the surface but not getting wet. With each step, small ripples spread, like lotus blossoms blooming with every step.

As the figure approached, Qin Suiyou was once again amazed by the person's refined demeanor and unparalleled beauty.

Qin Suiyou has a clear understanding of his own appearance; in the past, he had really never seen many people who were better looking than himself.

But the person in front of him was a bit taller than him, who was 180 cm tall. He had long, jet-black hair that was half-tied up, and he was wearing a blue robe. He exuded a friendly aura but had a beautiful yet extremely aloof face. He was holding a few bunches of lotus pods and looked like an immortal who had stepped out of a painting.

"Where is this?" Qin Suiyou asked gently. No matter how beautiful a woman is, he couldn't let her cloud his judgment. He needed to figure out the situation.

His tone was gentle, but Qin Suiyou did not let his guard down; his entire body was tense.

The beauty smiled silently, "This is my private sanctuary."

Qin Suiyou opened his mouth slightly, and the beauty seemed to know what he was going to say, and said again: "You are indeed dead, and you are here in the state of a soul."

"How did I get here?" Qin Suiyou asked, puzzled. "Did you bring me here?"

The beautiful woman nodded and replied, "Yes."

They then sat down on the ground and invited Qin Suiyou to sit with them.

"Help me peel these lotus seeds."

The lotus pod was handed to him, and Qin Suiyou, still full of doubts, did not refuse.

"Shall we go to Lianxin?"

Most of the things here defied previous understanding; even the lotus pods were golden, and Qin Suiyou didn't know what they were used for after peeling them. He didn't make any decisions on his own.

The beauty placed a lotus leaf on the grass in front of Qin Suiyou and replied, "No need, just take out the lotus seeds whole and put them on here."

After the requirements were clarified, Qin Suiyou began to work meticulously.

The fawn that had just flown into the sky gently landed beside the beauty, its large antlers brushing against her shoulder as if it were being affectionate, while the other large fawn stood motionless by the lake not far away, staring at the water.

After peeling the lotus seeds, the beauty touched the little deer's forehead and said, "Go and call your brother here."

The fawn obediently ran out and soon brought back the adult fawn.

The beautiful woman stood up. "Come with me."
