Synopsis

As his grandfather lay dying, he cried, “The needle went in the wrong place!” Lin Xiaoman takes over the ancestral clinic, already teetering on the brink, only to run headlong into a disaster: lead and mercury poisoning. Could their family’s secret technique really contain deadly toxins? The clinic is shut down, and their inheritance lies under a cloud.

A bolt of lightning splits the old tree beside her grandfather’s grave, bringing a fragment of the lost Eight Bone-Setting Methods of Pingle to light! It is not only ironclad proof that can clear their name, but also holds an ancient remedy for the lethal lead poisoning caused by “lock-and-key therapy.” Lin Xiaoman joins forces with Su Yue, her assistant who dreams of practicing Western medicine, to fight back.

When her old nemesis Li Ming bows his head to her in agony, and the sharp gleam of silver needles proves more powerful than a cold scalpel, dawn finally seems within reach, only for an even more sinister frame-up to descend.

The poison in people’s hearts is worse than lead and mercury. The clinic is sealed again. Dipping her brush in iodine, Lin Xiaoman writes one last “prescription” on the back of the stark white notice:

Prescription: Decoction to Relieve Depression and Open the Orifices...

Symptoms: A heart clogged and clouded, unable to tell clear from turbid, with qi and blood in disarray.

Ingredients: Angelica, three grams (to invigorate the blood); courage, one qian (to break through barriers).

Avoid: Wavering between sides and refusing to eat for fear of choking.
