The gentle sunlight filtered through the carved window lattice, casting a warm yellow glow on the windowsill of the palace. Lin Yue sat peacefully on the soft couch by the window, her figure lazy, but her gaze was hazy. She is like a frozen statue, and her thoughts are like a runaway horse, uncontrollably shuttling through the long river of time.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, her expression relaxed. The first thing she recalled was that ordinary yet warm little mountain village in the 21st century.
That small mountain village is as quiet and beautiful as a paradise beyond the mundane world. The sky is always clear and blue, like a flawless gem set between heaven and earth. The mountain stream meanders by. The water is crystal clear and flows gently, playing a natural melody. The crisp sound of the flowing water has become the most familiar melody of Lin Yue's childhood. Since her birth, she has been like a brilliant star, falling into her parents' hearts and becoming the treasure they hold in their hands.
Although her family background is ordinary and unremarkable, her parents' love for her is unrestrained. They spare no effort to create a warm and cozy little world for her. The small courtyard in the village held Lin Yue's carefree childhood. In the courtyard, there is an old locust tree with luxuriant branches and leaves. Every summer, the thick shade of the tree becomes her natural pergola.
Every birthday, my parents would rack their brains and carefully prepare gifts. Maybe it was just a handmade doll sewn from leftover fabric, or a picture book painstakingly found from the town. These seemingly ordinary items were filled with my parents' endless love. When she encounters difficulties and is full of depression, her parents always sit patiently beside her, listen quietly to her troubles, and encourage her to face them bravely with gentle yet firm words, reigniting the fire of hope.
Whether she suddenly wanted to learn painting or was obsessed with medical popular science books, her parents always supported her without hesitation, running around to buy her paintbrushes or asking others to borrow related books, just so that she could pursue her inner passion without any scrubbing.
The course of fate always changes unexpectedly. An accident, like the gears of fate turning quietly, drew Lin Yue into a completely different time and space. She was unexpectedly transported to the Tang Dynasty and transformed into Su Yao, the daughter of Minister Su.
When she first arrived, facing this unfamiliar environment, the majestic palace, the strict rules, and the intricate interpersonal relationships, her heart was filled with fear and unease, like a lost lamb.
But soon, fate opened a brand new door for her. To her surprise, she found that in the imperial library, all kinds of precious medical classics were dazzling. Those yellowed ancient books seemed to emit a mysterious light, opening a door of knowledge to a new world of medicine for her. She plunged headlong into the ocean of books, hungrily absorbing the nourishment of knowledge as if she had forgotten everything around her.
At a grand and luxurious court banquet, the palace was ablaze with lights, the sound of silk and bamboo music lingered on and on, and the dancers, dressed in splendid costumes, danced gracefully. In this bustling and lively occasion, Lin Yue's eyes met those of Li Yi, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, by chance. As the lofty emperor, Li Yi had no trace of intimidating arrogance around him. His eyes were filled with gentleness and curiosity, as if the Lin Yue before him were a charming mystery.
He took the initiative to step forward and had a cordial chat with her. When Lin Yue mentioned her views on medicine, Li Yi's eyes instantly lit up with a strong interest. He listened attentively and nodded in agreement from time to time.
From then on, their interaction became increasingly frequent. Li Yi always treated her on an equal footing. Whether it was strolling in the imperial garden or having a heart-to-heart talk in the palace study, he would listen carefully to Lin Yue's unique ideas about medicine and give her full respect and understanding.
When Lin Yue encounters difficulties on the path of medical research, frowning and lost in thought, Li Yi always appears quietly like a guardian angel. Sometimes, he would personally pick out precious medical books from the library and carefully hand them over to Lin Yue, his eyes brimming with anticipation. Sometimes, he would spare no effort to send people to search for famous folk doctors everywhere and invite them to the imperial court to exchange and discuss with Lin Yue.
When someone questioned Lin Yue's research and showed disdain, Li Yi would stand up without hesitation, firmly defending her and creating a clear sky for her to study with peace of mind.
With Li Yi's meticulous support, Lin Yue was able to devote herself wholeheartedly to medical research. Relying on her intelligence and tenacity, she achieved one remarkable result after another. She shuttled between the imperial court and the common people, treating countless people suffering from illness. Her reputation spread far and wide. The common people were grateful to her and spoke highly of her.
As time went by, Lin Yue and Li Yi's relationship grew deeper and deeper, just like aged fine wine, becoming more and more mellow and fragrant.
In spring, they strolled hand in hand in the imperial garden. The flowers were in full bloom, all in various colors. When the gentle breeze blew, the petals fell like snow. The two left a string of laughter and joy among the flower paths.
On a summer night, they sat side by side on the roof of the palace. The vast starry sky was like a huge dome inlaid with jewels. They gazed up at the brilliant stars, imagining a wonderful life in the future, and their hearts were closely attached to each other.
When Lin Yue is tired, Li Yi will gently walk behind her and massage her with his gentle yet powerful hands to relieve her fatigue. When Li Yi was troubled by state affairs and frowned, Lin Yue would snuggle up to him, soothing him with gentle words and dispelling the gloom in his heart.
Lin Yue clearly remembers that when researching an extremely difficult and intractable disease, she got into a predicament. Countless attempts ended in failure, and her heart was almost devoured by despair. She even began to doubt herself and was on the verge of giving up.
When Li Yi learned of this, he was extremely anxious. He personally rode a horse for several days, crossing high mountains and deep valleys, and finally found a recluse divine doctor in a remote place. The divine doctor's guidance was like a ray of dawn piercing through the darkness, making Lin Yue suddenly understand.
Ultimately, she successfully overcame the difficult problem. At that moment, looking at Li Yi, who was exhausted but had a bright smile, her heart was filled with emotion and love, and tears unconsciously blurred her eyes.
When providing free medical consultations among the people, Lin Yue truly felt the trust and gratitude of the common folk towards her. In the humble medical clinic, it was crowded with people seeking medical treatment, their eyes brimming with anticipation and hope. Lin Yue patiently diagnosed and treated each patient, carefully inquired about their conditions, and meticulously prescribed and dispensed the medicine. Seeing them gradually recover under her treatment and smile again, Lin Yue felt a sense of achievement in her heart.
Whenever Li Yi had time, he would stay by her side, tirelessly helping her take care of patients, serving her tea and water, and handing her medicine. His eyes were filled with admiration and support for her, as if she were the most remarkable person in the world.
Once again, Lin Yue ventured deep into the mountains and forests to collect a rare herb. In the mountains and forests, the branches and leaves were luxuriant, blocking out the sky and the sun. She accidentally lost her way and wandered among the intricate paths. As the sky grew darker and dusk fell, fear flooded her like a tide.
Just when she felt desperate and was about to give up struggling, Li Yi, along with his guards, braved all obstacles and hurriedly found her. He held her tightly in his arms and said in a trembling voice, "Yue 'er, I've finally found you."
At that moment, Lin Yue clearly felt Li Yi's intense heartbeat. It was his deep concern and endless love. Her heart was filled with warmth and peace of mind.
Now, Lin Yue sits quietly in this magnificent palace, and the past moments keep replaying in her mind like a movie. Thinking of the fact that she could pursue her beloved medical career in two completely different eras and have the company of her beloved ones in both, her heart was filled with happiness and contentment.
A gentle breeze blew by, stirring her hair, as if time were tenderly caressing her. Lin Yue slowly closed her eyes, her face beaming with a happy smile, as bright as the blooming flowers in spring. Although my life has been full of ups and downs, every experience is extremely precious, like a shining gem embedded in the long river of life. During these long years, she has received the love of her parents and the deep affection of her lover, and has fulfilled her ideals. She has no regrets in this life.
On the land of the Tang Dynasty, her story with Li Yi became a legend and was passed down from mouth to mouth by people. Their love is like the blooming flowers in spring, brilliant and dazzling, adding a touch of romance to the world. Their dedication and commitment to medicine, like a bright lamp, Pierce through the darkness, illuminating countless lives and giving people hope and strength.
And Lin Yue, with this happiness that transcends time and space, has left her own brilliant chapter in the long river of time, becoming an eternal beautiful memory in people's hearts, inspiring generation after generation to pursue their dreams and cherish the beloved ones around them.
The book is over!
