Sequel to Hospital 365 - this story will make more sense if you read that first!

UPDATE 12/09/2021: Please note that due to recent circumstances, the character played by Wu Yifan in season 1 has been recast to an original character named Wei Fanxing for season 2, as the authors prefer not to use his name and persona in an ongoing work. We may at some point update season 1 also, but for now we are just focusing on season 2. The character is the same, just played by a different "actor" as such. We hope this doesn't cause any confusion.
