Summary
The Fake Doctor is an alternate-history web novel by Wang Ping'an, serialized on Qidian starting in 2013 and completed on October 5, 2015, running about 2.59 million characters over more than seven hundred chapters. The "fake" in the original title means "borrowed"—the prescriptions the protagonist writes as a doctor are all genuine. The protagonist, Yang Ze, is a young doctor in modern society. While eating instant noodles one day, his soul is drawn into the bowl and reborn into the "Great Fang Empire," an ancient realm ruled by an empress. The customs and manners of this country closely resemble those of the Tang dynasty in Chinese history, yet it is not the Tang. After transmigrating, Yang Ze becomes the son of an apothecary owner, with no system and no cheat powers; all he can rely on is his accumulation of modern medicine and traditional Chinese pharmacology, plus a bit of near-instinctive luck. The story begins with minor ailments in the streets and alleys: insomnia, snoring, traveler's diarrhea, acute throat obstruction, heart ailments—these everyday medical cases often draw in neighborhood human dramas and trouble with the authorities. After curing a princess's illness, Yang Ze's reputation grows; from entering the medical office and opening an apothecary to holding consultations and clearing people's names, he is later drawn into the power struggles of the county office, the prefect's mansion, and eventually the imperial court. Mixed in are muddled lawsuits among neighbors, a human-trafficking case in the streets, and the delicate balancing between physicians and officialdom. He practices medicine while serving as an official, shuttling back and forth between the roles of doctor and bureaucrat. The book follows the light, humorous route of alternate-history wish-fulfillment fiction, with medical cases, crime-solving, official intrigues, and street-level trivia advancing in turn; overall it is popular web fiction, not a rigorous work of historical or medical scholarship.
Editor's review
如果要找一个“医生穿古代”的样本，《赝医》是绕不开的一本。 它成书于2013—2015年，正是起点历史文“医官双修”题材成形的阶段。相比后来常见的系统流、签到流，作者给杨泽的安排很素：只有一个现代小医生的知识，加上一点运气。于是小说的趣味来自“用现有本事解决眼前麻烦”——怎么用几味家常药材处理急症，怎么在官府的板子下讲清病理，怎么让一句“药不是越多越好”说服世家大夫。医案因此不是装饰，而是推动关系的枢纽。 另一个看点是大方帝国这一“女儿国”设定。女主当朝、女性掌事，既提供了身份错位的笑点，也给杨泽的仕途设下了不同于真实唐代的障碍与机会。书中长公主、女官、女将一出场，行文就会滑向轻松诙谐。 需要说明：这是典型的网络爽文。逻辑不必太细究，中段灌水明显，人物有些降智台词，后半部分节奏也常被读者吐槽。它适合“看个热闹、顺便学点医案谈资”。想读硬核中医考据或严整历史演义的读者，大概会更喜欢作者另一本《唐朝好医生》。
Who it's for
A good fit for
- 喜欢“医生穿古代”这类架空历史爽文，接受较长篇幅的读者。
- 对中医小医案、望闻问切感兴趣，但不需要专业考据的读者。
- 喜欢轻松诙谐、市井人情与官场斗智穿插的行文风格。
- 想在通勤等碎片时间看“看病+断案”小故事解压的人。
Not a good fit for
- 偏好逻辑严密、人物智商在线的正剧向历史小说读者。
- 期待硬核中医学知识与严谨唐代制度考据的读者。
- 不接受后宫流、女性角色情感线的大量描写的读者。
Reading tips
- 前几章以医案开路，先读五十章确认口味；不适就及时止损，不必硬啃全本。
- 把每回的医案当作一个小单元，读完可对照自己的中医常识核对思路，乐趣更多。
- 遇到官场争斗与灌水段落可快读略过，抓住医案与人物关系两条主线即可。
- 读罢若无感，可转读作者望平安的《唐朝好医生》，走的是更扎实的医学路线。
FAQ
《赝医》的主角是谁，为什么叫“赝医”？
主角是现代小医生杨泽，吃泡面时灵魂被吸入碗中，重生到女主当朝的“大方帝国”。书名中的“赝”取假借之意，书友评论概括为“虽为赝医，开的却都是真方”——他借古代身份行医，用的仍是真才实学。
《赝医》是哪个平台的，写完了吗？
是望平安在起点中文网连载的历史类网络小说，2013年开始连载，2015年10月5日完结，末章为第七百二十八章《万岁万岁万万岁》，全书约259万字。
这本书有正式出版的纸质版吗？
目前公开资料显示《赝医》为起点中文网VIP签约的连载作品，未检索到正式出版的中文纸质版书号（ISBN），大家阅读的多是网文与电子版。
《赝医》和《唐朝好医生》是同一本书吗？
不是。两本都是望平安的作品，但《唐朝好医生》（又名《回到大唐当医生》）主角是中医世家子弟王平安，穿越到贞观年间的唐朝；《赝医》主角是杨泽，背景是虚构的大方帝国。
大方帝国是历史上的哪个朝代？
大方帝国是作者虚构的国度，并非真实朝代。小说设定其风物、官制与唐朝高度相似，但由女性掌朝，女性可以做官、带兵，这也是书中许多剧情和笑点的来源。
