The Useless Son-in-Law Opens a Medical Clinic

Gu Ci became the live-in son-in-law of the Lin family in the capital. Everyone expected him to pass the imperial exams and bring glory to the family, but he only enjoyed listening to the rain under the eaves and brewing tea in the courtyard, lying down whenever possible and idling whenever possible, letting the world laugh at him as mud that cannot be plastered on the wall. On his father-in-law's birthday, with guests filling the hall, he was publicly mocked as a 'worthless fool with no learning.' At that moment, a high-ranking official suddenly fell gravely ill, his face as pale as gold paper. The imperial physicians were drenched in sweat, and the old doctor from Huichun Hall sighed and closed his medicine box. The whole hall was shocked and silent. Only this 'fool' calmly stood up, rolled up his sleeves, and used silver needles with deft hands. In just a breath, the dying man slowly opened his eyes. Without any system or external aid, he relied only on the medical skills he had honed for decades in his previous life. From that night on, a small medical clinic appeared in a deep alley of the capital. Patients came in an endless stream—imperial physicians from the Tai Hospital, nobles from wealthy families, and even the Lin family members who had once forced him to study and now waited humbly outside the door with name cards. This son-in-law had been hiding his brilliance. — Description from novelcodex.org
