The Medical Beast is an urban supernatural novel by the web novelist Shi Zhangyu (real name Ye Yong) and the opening work of the Veterinary Surgeon Across Worlds series. The protagonist, Tang Lie, is a young veterinary medicine PhD with superb skills and an unruly personality. After becoming entangled with Qin Yuanyuan, the woman of Black Eagle Hall leader Yin Tianlong, he is forcibly injected with an overdose of aphrodisiac and exiled to a deserted island. On the island he encounters a talking white ape and obtains a blue crystal, through which he crosses into the otherworld of Grandia. In a world where light and darkness struggle for power, Tang Lie relies on modern medical knowledge and quick wits to escape slavery and then becomes embroiled in slave liberation, court intrigue, and power struggles, growing step by step from an outsider physician who only wants to survive into a key figure who sways events. In the otherworld he meets many companions and women and faces choices of love and conscience. The story does not stop in the otherworld: Tang Lie eventually returns to the real world, settles old scores with Yin Tianlong, and confronts the Demon Emperor Qiuchan, who seeks to devour both the real world and Grandia. The book runs to about 130 chapters and roughly one million words, a satisfying long novel blending urban life, transmigration, fantasy, medicine, and romantic entanglements.
