The Peasant Doctor

This poor guy just wanted to plow his field in peace. But one thing led to another—an unwanted marriage, a suspicious priest, a strategic beating—and suddenly he's the kingdom’s most celebrated doctor, despite knowing nothing about medicine except how to get hit with a stick until inspiration strikes.

In Le Vilain mire, medicine is just violence with better PR, and a man with zero qualifications ends up outwitting an entire kingdom. This is what happens when you lie confidently and commit.
