Bloody Chang'an: At dawn on June 13, the fifteenth year of Tianbao's reign, the rebels broke through the gates of Chang'an with iron hooves. Pei Yun, the lieutenant general of the Jinwu Guard, led his remaining troops to defend Zhuque Street, and while covering the evacuation of the royal family, they discovered the mysterious medical officer Shen Zhiqiu.
Life and death: When Shen Zhiqiu risked his life to rescue a wounded general, he unexpectedly showed off his extraordinary medical skills. During the breakout, the two discovered that what the rebels were looking for was the fragment of Sun Simiao's lost "Qianjin Prescription", and Shen Zhiqiu was the last inheritor of this medical classic.
Secret code inheritance: From the hidden compartment of the silver needle box that Shen Zhiqiu carried with him to the secret room of the library guarded by the Pei Yun family, the two gradually uncovered the dynasty secrets hidden behind the pharmacopoeia while on the run. The pharmacopoeia records not only medical prescriptions, but also shocking prophecies that affect the fate of the country.
Pursuing soldiers in the dark night: An Lushan's confidant Cui Qianyou led the Wolf Tooth Guard in pursuit. From the waning moon of Baqiao to the dense forest of Lishan Mountain, from the ruins of Qujiang to the ancient Zhongnan Road, this pair of sons and daughters in troubled times guard the fire of civilization amidst the light and shadow of swords.
Love in War: When Pei Yun was shot by a wolfsbane arrow while protecting the pharmacopoeia, Shen Zhiqiu used the technique of crossing acupoints with golden needles to kill the King of Hell. In the dilapidated temple on a rainy night, the swaying bonfire reflects the silk of the thousand-year pharmacopoeia, and also reflects the two warm hearts of each other in troubled times.
