[Times Collide, A Doctor Breaks the Deadlock]
After a car accident, modern emergency physician Su Wanyue transmigrates into ancient times and finds herself a concubine-born daughter of the Su family, sent as a substitute bride to bring good fortune to a sick groom. Her bridal sedan arrives at the Prince Regent's residence, but instead of a frail bridegroom, she encounters a palace conspiracy spanning ten years. The silver bell around her neck, her birth mother's jade pendant, and the pattern in Prince Regent Xiao Chengyu's dreams are an exact match. Beneath the red veil prepared for the auspicious wedding lies modern medicine capable of overturning the Imperial Medical Academy, along with the bond between two souls from different eras.
[Two Jade Pendants United, Power Plays Intertwined]
Xiao Chengyu appears to be gravely ill, but in truth he has been secretly laying plans for three years, determined to uncover the secrets his birth mother and Su Wanyue's mother left behind at a fire and in an ancient well. As the physician bride measures temperatures with glass tubes and breaks poison schemes with silver needles, and the Prince Regent draws the soft sword hidden in his wheelchair, the two carefully navigate the rivalries of the Imperial Medical Academy and the shadowy battles in the underground palace. They discover that every clue points to the ancient well in the imperial garden. Not only do the bones of people who died ten years ago lie there, but it also conceals a nexus connecting two eras, as well as the truth behind the source of the mandrake poison brought back by Zheng He from his voyages to the Western Ocean.
[Medicine as a Blade, A Flame That Never Dies]
Su Wanyue uses penicillin to fight consumption and revolutionizes medicine with sterilization techniques, earning the rank of first-grade imperial physician after overcoming fierce opposition in the Golden Hall. Under the guise of illness, Xiao Chengyu gathers his secret guards and clears obstacles from her path amid a whirlpool of political intrigue. When the schemes behind Consort Shen's miscarriage, the Empress Dowager's old wound and poison curse, and the Imperial Medical Academy's thousand-year-old rules are all exposed, they find photographs and diaries left by their mothers in the underground palace. They realize that the transmigration thirty years ago was meant to prevent the poison source in a rift between eras from spreading, and that their jade pendants are the key to closing that rift.
