A Guide to Prospering with Herbs from Another World

Shen Jiang has an unexpected awakening and learns that she is nothing more than a cannon fodder side character in a book.

As the heiress to a prestigious family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners who has never had to worry about food or clothing, Shen Jiang is utterly dumbfounded.

The good news: she can foresee the future.
The bad news: her family is doomed to destruction, and she is about to die.

Shen Jiang is reeling, but what comes next leaves her even more stunned.

Shen Jiang comes into possession of a door that periodically opens to another world.

And this door leads her straight into the enemy’s lair, dropping her right into the… nest of the most vicious dragon in that other world.

To stay alive, Shen Jiang proclaims that she is the evil dragon’s most devout follower, having traveled a great distance just to gaze upon his magnificent presence.

With a wicked sense of humor, the evil dragon tasks his new follower with the “weeds” that have long troubled him: “Go on, let me see your sincerity.”

The evil dragon assumed this human would retreat in the face of such a task and reveal her true nature.
He never expected to be met with his follower’s cheers and praise.

Shen Jiang’s eyes gleam with excitement:
A “small pagoda” of Cistanche deserticola as tall as a person? Uproot it! Uproot 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!

On her occasional trips down the mountain, she also ends up saving lives, practicing medicine, and even dealing with pests, earning a steady stream of food from the villagers—and successfully recruiting many new followers for the great evil dragon.

The evil dragon is immensely pleased with his new follower. The tiny human piously uproots the weeds, cheering with joy from time to time, clearly considering it the highest honor to serve the noble and great dragon.

Pleased, the evil dragon casually bestows upon Shen Jiang a mountaintop…
of weeds.

As if she had unlocked the ultimate secret to flattery, Shen Jiang redoubles her efforts, adding to the great evil dragon’s renown and successfully obtaining [Mountaintop] xN.

One day, the evil dragon, believing it was time to give his most loyal follower a special reward, flamboyantly blocks Shen Jiang’s path. “My faithful follower, tell me your heart’s deepest desire!”

Staring at the evil dragon as if he were the God of Wealth himself, Shen Jiang freezes for a moment before saying shyly, “…Could you, perhaps, take me to explore a few more mountains?”

Back in her world, the neighbors are baffled. Business at the small, dying clinic has suddenly boomed, with lines forming outside.

A jealous onlooker snaps a photo to mock her, with the headline: “Small Clinic Disgraces Ancestors with Hunger Marketing.”

Just as netizens are about to unleash their fury, they notice the person at the front of the line is none other than business tycoon Mr. Wang, followed by the five-time Golden Dragon Film Award-winning actress, Yao Qian.

After digging up information on everyone in line, the netizens let out explosive shrieks.

Holy hell!
Isn’t traditional Chinese medicine supposed to be a scam?
With so many VIPs lining up to be fleeced,
just who in the world is the owner of this clinic?!
