Description

Back in 1996, the eldest daughter of Oldman Xie’s Family, Xie Wanying, said that she wanted to be a surgeon, to which many people laughed at her .

“ A Phoenix gives birth to a phoenix. And a dog gives birth to a dog. A truck driver’s daughter will be a doctor, when pigs learn how to climb trees. ”

“I’m not just going to be a doctor, I’m going to be a cardiothoracic surgeon,”Xie Wanying said.

Her sentence created a thousand waves in the medical circle. A relative doctor of their family even ridiculed her sternly and said: “Do you know how high the admission score for medical students is? Can you even pass the exam?”

“There are zero female cardiothoracic surgeons in the country, if the top female doctors could not make it that far who do you think you are!”

A group of people ridiculed: “You will only get admitted to a third-rate medical school and be a hygienist in a small county. Who will you marry in the future? ”

But she proved them wrong, at the end of the college entrance examination, Xie Wanying entered the top class of surgery in the country with the province’s top prize in science. She entered the top hospital in the capital and was sought after by the director of the surgical departments while she was still an intern. “Student Xie Wanying, you must come to general surgery.”

“No, you must go to our urology—”

“Pediatric surgery lacks female doctors like Xie Wanying.”

All her relatives Wechat moments:……….

At this time, Xie Wanying independently completed the national youngest tetralogy of Fallot surgery, represented the domestic cardio-thoracic surgery association to participate in the international medical forum, and published the world’s first minimally invasive heart valve repair operation, which was a worthy feat considering she was the top female surgeon!

This novel is 95% her doing medical things. I am not a medical practitioner but that stuff she is doing does not sound right. If this was like Grey's Anatomy it would be better. But legit it is her just treating patients and everyone else around her going, whoooooooooa look at that! A girl doctor, doing doctor things, amazing. A lot of the things that people are amazed about is the fact that she is a woman, doing a regular thing that doctors (who in this novel seem to be... more>> 100% men) do all the time. Also, the author loves to mention that women are not as physically strong as men, which makes them incapable of performing surgeries. But when MC says she wants to be a surgeon and proves that she is capable of doing it, all these men that their minds blown as it seems like they never thought a woman could have that type of skill and stamina. Someone introduce these guys to the Olympics and make them watch the the women's javelin throw.

There is minimal face slapping. None at all actually. I was very dissapointed.

Romance is 0% as MC is a dense as a brick and ML seems to think she understand telepathy and can read the mood. She cannot. <<less

It was an interesting story. Not one Im quite fond of but will remember the premises

i can’t deny that a doctor and medical premises is really promising and interesting, however

MC is too Mary sue, she felt like a robot.

its funny how this novel want to fight sexism by establishing a woman figure in the medical field. But failed to potray any woman correctly except the MC mom

- Every enemies of MC had to be a woman. Why? And why do you have to establish the enemies as a girly woman?
- focuses on gender instead of character. Gender does influence a character, but your gender is not your character. Author need to take more note in this. Yes being a girl might make you a little bit more obedient but it doesn't mean girls can’t be stubborn and etc. There is more to a character than gender, like environments and childhood
- failure in understanding Woman and empowerment. Yes I can’t deny its nice to see role figure of powerful women, but author didn’t really understand the word women empowerment itself. Why do I respect the mother more than MC? Even if MC is smarter stronger and etc? Cause she is strong. She let her daughter go to medical school, she works for her daughter, she kept going even though everyone around her discredit her and her daughter, she fight for her daughter, she even fought with her husband. She is gentle, she is human, she is respectable, she is powerful, and she is strong

overall I would prefer if this story if it focus more on fiction medical and romance rather than mentioning women empowerment every 2-3 chapters

This is actually pretty enjoyable so far. MC is a little overly OP and too good at everything, but she does have some past life experience, so eh, whatever, I'll let it slide. Around a 4.2 at ch 347, continuing onwards. Some personal bias in rating since I do like this sort of topic. Not rating for accuracy because 1. surgery isn't currently the focus of my study and 2. I'm reading the MTL, so it's all kind of lol whatever.

I feel like the criticism of "the author keeps saying... more>> women can't do x and that's against women" isn't precisely accurate. It sounds more like the author is stating those stereotypes and covering the biases of other characters, and then showing MC surpassing that, rather than the MC or author themselves having that bias. Narrative shouldn't be taken to be the author's perspective, because I doubt this story would've been written if that were the case.

As for women lacking the strength for prolonged surgical operations... that statement seems quite personally relatable. I don't think laying out the existence of that bias in this novel and then surpassing it goes against women in any way. My mother studied cardiology for internal medicine in China roughly around this time period/slightly earlier, and my maternal grandfather did surgery. When I was a kid, I also wanted to do surgery, and got told similar sh*t by my mother, which I disagreed with. And while I still disagree (although I am not currently studying surgery), I think fundamentally it isn't always entirely badly intentioned (depending on who says it). Someone less strong might have it tougher adapting to that environment. (this was told despite my maternal grandparents' family not really having any anti-girl bias, as far as I can tell (both were doctors, had 4 girls and no boys, all of whom went into higher ed, and placed a lot of value on studies). In short, it's not always about "women bad lower class".)

And yes, there are female Olympic athletes. But Olympic athletes aren't comparable to regular people, because they're spending most of their day training for the Olympics. A female medical student is not at all comparable to a female Olympic athlete.

Also, there are literally studies on the comparative strength of men vs women. I don't think the author should be rated down for basic biological facts, no matter how ego-damaging they might be. The average female is shorter and of slighter build than the average male, and height and weight often add to strength. Females also tend to have a higher body fat % naturally, which leaves less lean body tissue. Ergo, the average female is physically less strong than the average male.

Again, while female Olympic athletes can certainly be much stronger than men, I sincerely doubt that there are a significant number of professional surgical specialists moonlighting as active Olympic athletes, regardless of their gender.

"The only enemies in the book are female and that's biased!" is also... not true at all at this point. Seriously, how did people read this story and come up with that shit?

The largest actual stumbling block on her path is MC's dad, who thinks it's useless for women to study and takes her award money to spend on male relatives and is constantly pressuring her mom on how worthless MC's efforts are in the background. There's also another male doctor who hates interns (Dr. Zhong or something) that purposefully tries to trip them up, and a number of male, older doctors that stubbornly refuse to believe they aren't right. The boys in her class implicitly disbelieve in her abilities until she proves it to them and surpasses them, garnering their respect -- but if she was just average amongst them, she might still be in an uncomfortable spot, since the jobs are also biased towards males. Even after her excellent theoretical skills are demonstrated, the boys still believe that maybe she'll get shown how much weaker she is than the menfolk during the clinical internships, since her techniques might be lacking. Even the highly skilled surgeon she interns under for a while, who greatly appreciates her abilities, hesitates and has to ponder before deciding to keep her on. Why? Because she's female, so what if she goes home and has a kid or goes on maternal leave? then he actually asks her, and realises, haha, oops, she's too young for that. Thank god she isn't romantically inclined! But the other, flirty male Dr is fine to have around, since it's not like he'll get pregnant.

Double standards? Yeah. And that's kind of the point.

Sure, a number of the named antagonists are female, and that's fine, because a number of them are also male. The biggest antagonists so far are double standards and biases, not whatever other intern she disagrees with for a day.

All of the medical students are competing for jobs and clinical placements, so competition or rivalry is obviously going to exist. Older female medical students in an environment that doesn't care for maternal leave and in a period of time that still values settling down with kids are clearly going to have it rougher and be more pressured mentally, especially when our ultra young and OP xueba MC emerges out of nowhere and pwns the more experienced interns. <<less

This review is in reply to evileye bc they seem to have an issue with the other commenter talking about the author's stereotyping and less-than-stellar attempt at writing about female empowerment.

First of all, yes, women are physically weaker than men on average in terms of strength, but what does that have to do with surgical skills? You don't need strength to be good at surgery, you need stamina and precision. And for those two characteristics, women actually triumph over men. In ultramarathons, women have been known to do better than... more>> men, or at least, have comparable performance. When you compare it to other sports, endurance is something that women don't lose to men in. There's also studies showing women are less fatigable than men, and women's muscle fibres are more enduring. I find it funny that they present their personal anecdote as evidence that female medical professionals have it harder than men in terms of capability and not discrimination. Idk what your family experienced, but biologically, it's not how you're presenting it as, I'm sorry. The author's comments about strength, while true, also have no basis in medical procedures. Having more muscles does not a better surgeon make. Having the stamina to do an operation for hours, however, is a massive advantage.

Secondly, on precision, women get credit for being more detailed only when it's used to disparage them - 'oh, women only focus on the trees while the men are able to look at the forest, the big picture!' until it comes to a respected, male dominated field, then suddenly it doesn't count anymore? This isn't what evileye said, btw, I'm moving on to societal perception in general. Science has shown that the brains of women are significantly more active in many more areas of the brain than men, especially in the prefrontal cortex, involved with focus and impulse control. Ergo, women are better surgeons, who have to be in the ER and focused for hours and hours on procedures that require extreme precision.

And finally, it's actually been found that patients with female medical professionals (ie surgeons, doctors) receive a higher quality of care. Their wounds are less likely to have complications, bc they're more attentive about after-surgery care, and the quality of operations is also higher. Take from that what you will. So author is absolutely wrong if they want to use 'oh but men are stronger than women' as a reason why women are disadvantaged in medical fields. There's discrimination, there's obstacles in the form of humans and stereotypes and psychologically, but absolutely NONE of them are because they're less capable to be a doctor biologically and I won't stand for anyone trying to imply that.

Anyways I posted this review bc I was triggered by the 'don't rate author down for stating biological facts bc they're ego damaging' part, therefore here I am with actual biology facts. When people mention that they feel something is stereotyped or not written well, you don't have to immediately assume 'well it's just bc you're sensitive when it's true!' a lot of the time it avoids a lot of nuance in the points actually being discussed to go 'facts don't care abt ur feelings' ben shapiro style, completely bulldozing over the actual situation at hand. Like in this case, that strength isn't relevant for surgeons. <<less

I’m currently MTL-ing this story because even though it’s at 3000+ already, I can’t seem to stop until ... more>>
Spoiler

I see Wanying and Dr. Cao Yong get together ㅠㅠ I'm currently eating all the sweet bread crumbs I could get from this ship and I think I will not be stopping anytime soon.

[collapse]

The story: Honest opinion, the story is like a boat. It has its highs, it has its lows. While it’s interesting to read all the technicalities, I feel like the whole thing is jumbled and can get confusing when you aren’t patient enough to read. I skimmed on filler chapters, while feasted on the chapters my favorite characters are in. Despite these things, I still like the story and would continue reading till the end.

The characters: First of all, MC (Xie Wanying/XWY) was reborn OP xueba with a small golden fingerㅡand that is an even bigger brain (enhance brain functions) than her previous life. She either has a photographic memory or is like a sponge. Whatever she reads or what is taught to her, she immediately absorbs it and due to her previous work experience as a staff in the med field, she does well in her first or second tries. She’s became fearless and honestly reckless at some times. Though I would understand since she's only like that when things are really urgent. I agree with one of the comment about her feeling like a robot, because that's what the other characters think too in the later chapters xD It's because she uses her brain more than the heart. She has a clear goal in her mind and will do whatever it takes (legally speaking) to obtain it. It is only at 1000+ you’ll feel she’s mellowed out a bit as she interacts with our another big brain doctor, Dr. Cao Yong (CY). I personally like XWY and despite her OP, I seem to always find an explanation to her actions.

Setting: This is in the 90s when the concept of women empowerment is not as established as it is in the 2000s. Also, sexism does exists in several fields even until now so I think a reader should consider this before reading. Though I would agree author overdid some of the conflicts especially when it's become jealous women vs. Properly working women. Reading all of these had me grateful I was born in the modernized era.

All in all, this is a long, long good read still. If you have the patience to MTL, go ahead. Because we will never be sure if translator would finish till the end. X) <<less

There is a common trope in chinese novel, wuxia or xianxia, modern or sci-fi, that of the "divine doctor". He can accurately diagnose people, prescribe medicine, concocting medicine from materials, stab people with needle and they instantly cure, neutralize poison or even poisoning other, saving someone in the brink of death, restoring one crippled meridian to 1000%, etc. The problem with such fiction is that they are written by amateurs who don't really understand medicine, or based on outdated medical information in ancient times.

The real value of this novel is,... more>> in my opinion, that it put the trope of "divine doctor" in the setting of real, modern day, western medicine. This is based on science, and many things explained here can be googled and some real academic medical journal will pop up.

Premise of the story: Xie Wanying is a female doctor. Due to unfavorable conditions, she graduated from second rate medical university and work in third rate hospital in the countryside. She worked in laboratory as pathologist, and as a result had the biggest regret in her life. If only she worked in clinical side....

And then time regressed, and she was back to the time when she is about to do college entrance examination. This time she is resolved to enter the best medical college, work in the best hospital, and change her fate.

Advantages after regressing

Despite its modern setting, I still consider it sci-fi novel. Beside the regress, there are things that is too fantasy-ish and can not happen in real. Anyway, here are the advantages/ abilities she gained after regressing

1. Prior learning and experience

The average student will spend 7 years before he become full fledged doctor. 4 years in theory, 1 year as intern, and another 2 years in residency after getting licence - usually in specialist department. And then more and more years because medicine science is always advancing and doctor need to study for a lifetime. XWY had already done her 7 years and accumulating real job experience, and now she is repeating the process. Medicine is very difficult to study, and she got twice the time to study it.

2. Perfect Learning

Not as strong as real photographic memory, but strong enough to remember everything she had read about medical knowledge. Her brain can also absorb other people surgery skill by only watching them.

Combined with (1), this create absurd situation where she is very knowledgeable about many specialist field. Something can't be humanely done in real world because, well, human generally lack the time and capability to learn so vast field. Usually doctor learn one specialist field, only one.

3. Supercompuuter brain

Her brain can simulate 3D model of a human body, of anyone she see. With input from her 6 senses, she can calculate 3D model and detect diseases, and formulate the best treatment.

4. Future knowledge

Medicine is always advancing, and technology is always improving. With the increase of economic condition, some expensive technology had become more common and affordable. There are more clinical data from cases, there are more drug developed, and more research done. She was sent maybe around 25 years to the past. By the time of her internship, she had future knowledge of medicine 20 years later. She knew things and common sense for medicine 20 years later.

Story

It is good, not bad. But also not that amazing. It is mainly about XWY shocking people again and again, because she exceed their expectation. She was just too amazing. And the stereotype for female doctor is just too bad. The excitement is mainly of watching the faceslapping when some bad people underestimate her.

The romance exist. Just very tiny. Because XWY cannot afford to fall in love before she graduate. Anyway, it is the typical female oriented romance - the male lead is almost perfect, handsome, rich, strong, and very affectionate and spoiling the MC, but fortunately still reasonable and not creepy like other ML in some novels.

Setting and infodump.

I suspect the author is a medical student. There are just too many specialist knowledge, insider information about situation in the industry, and real anecdots. It was like a medical student read some divine doctor novel, and decided that those stories are scam full of nonsense, and then write story based on real medicine science.

Some of the arcs involved XWY tried to cure a patient. And then there are infodumps about the nature of the disease, the cause, the cure, how difficult it is, and the treatment plan. Some readers might skip this infodump, because 1) it doesn't really matter to the plot 2) it is hard to understand. Well, it almost like author copied a medical textbook. 3) it is boring and not relevant to me.

Wrong! This is where the novel actually shine. Even if you don't understand, you should read it. After reading 3500 chapters like me, you will develop new understanding. Nope, you don't suddenly become a doctor. Even a doctor may not be able to do what XWY do in the novel. But I develop new understanding about health, about disease, about the right way to go to a doctor, what to watch out, about medical industry, etc.

As health and disease are something real and close to us, this is actually more relevant to us, no matter our age, profession, gender, or reading preferences.

Conclusion: every one should read this novel. <<less

I really love this novel!

There are so many medical terms being explained thoroughly which I think took a lot of time for the author to explain and greatly helped those who are not in medical field to comprehend jargons. It mainly focuses on Xwy's medical journey with a little romance since she was so dense when in fact her EQ was also high since she is in good relationship with her teachers, seniors and even patients. I also love CY since he was so patient with Xwy, always the gentle... more>> and supportive one-call-away senior. The downside is that the story is ongoing and the flow of the story is also slow pace that the updates cannot satisfy me enough.

Someone please recommend me stories like this! <<less

Finally! A novel where the characters are not petty and braindead. I enjoyed reading this (still ongoing though). Romance is still one-sided since the FL is dense but I appreciate the ML's patience with her. I like my man stable hahaha.

The characters are level-headed, not unreasonable though sometimes other side characters frustrate me so much enough to make me want to punch them. The plot is okay. I'm anticipating how much Xie Wanying will grow as a doctor. Prove to others that girls are capable too.

Alright, i'd call it a standard cn, with a bit less romance and direct face slapping than usual.

The MC

The character is, well, like most other a cardboard cutout, she is an amazing medical student and here, that's it. This is the only thing we are shown about the MC, she doesn't have a personality beyond generic cn protagonist.

... more>> The story

The story has 3 "modes" so far, it switches between :

  1. The MC see, witness, is near a sick / wounded person and proceed to be an amazing doctor and save them
  2. The MC interact, has random encounter with the ML
  3. Other are witnessed not believing in the MC capabilites and learning about or witnessing the MC awesome acts of medecine.
At the point where I stopped reading, it kept cycling between thoses 3 phases along with some interaction with her mother from time to time. it's neat that it's not focusing that much on the romance, at least so far, but "the plot" he chose is pretty repetitive and don't really lead anywhere.

My opinion

I expected from the description a story about a generic cn novel femal character surmounting problem, working hard to learn medecine and solve the problems she has learning medecine and finally succeding, therefore accomplishing her dreams and showing all thoses who underestimated her wrong and going to have an awesome life with an awesome guy etc...

This is very much a story about a Generic cn novel female MC showing off how awesome she is to everyone, being loved /admired and or hated by others for said awesomeness and having to deal with the people who hate that she's awesome by showing them how much more awesome she is and marrying an awesome guy to have an awesome life.

It would honestly have been great if it was a story about someone learning medecine and becoming great that way. Instead we have a story about someone who's great in medecine and proceed to show how awesome she is. There is no medical challenge, no obstacle, no conflict in the part of the story that's dedicated to medicine, all the conflit like most other cn novel i've seen is in the interpersonnal relationship. It's a bit disapointing to be honest and I kinda blame the story description for giving me false expection. <<less
