Gu Qingque, director of the Cardiac Surgery Department of Luoyang Municipal Hospital, is a doctor with a sharp tongue who can rap Luoyang curse words. When he was forced by the dean to serve as a consultant for a cultural relic restoration project, he met Lin Wanzhi, a history teacher who could compile "Luo Shen Fu" into math problems. While they were repairing the Yingtianmen murals, they were caught up in the illusion of the past life by the sudden fall of the suzaku-patterned caisson - the divine capital of Luoyang eight hundred years ago, the princess's mansion with scorching peonies, and the reflection of a suzaku holding a medicine pestle in its mouth as it passed by the Xuanwu Tuostele.
Yongchang period
Princess Li Xuanning of Yongchang rescued the mysterious doctor Xie Qingque with tortoiseshell marks in the Mangshan hunting ground. Little did she know that this was a taboo conspiracy between Silla Proton and the Tang Dynasty miracle doctor. When Xuanwu Si Nanpei showed a strange light at the peony banquet, the princess discovered that her Suzaku birthmark and the tortoise shell pattern of the imperial doctor could spell out the Hetu Luoshu. On the eve of the Xuanwumen Incident, the two of them carved a "meet you in the next life" on the palm of the Lucena Buddha in the Longmen Grottoes, but were involved in a bizarre fire disaster that destroyed all the peonies in the divine capital.
Patients with "peony scorch syndrome" have appeared one after another in modern Luoyang City. Gu Qingque discovered that the symptoms were consistent with the picture of a red bird weeping blood in the mural. Lin Wanzhi found the letters of Princess Yongchang at Laojun Mountain Taoist Temple, and found that each page contained a star map encrypted with "Have you drunk soup?" (Luoyang dialect: Have you drunk soup?). When they found the basalt bronze bottle on the top of the Zhuying Tower in Hanhe, the tortoise shell pattern under Gu Qingque's white coat suddenly resonated with the red bird seal on Lin Wanzhi's clavicle. In the shadow of the peony lamp, the phantom of the princess and the miracle doctor's "noodle bet" at the bridgehead in Tianjin emerged.
