Due to an accident, emergency doctor Zhou Yanbai traveled to the "Great Scenery" of the fictional dynasty and became a poor scholar on the verge of drowning. When you open your eyes, you are not faced with a happy life with golden fingers, but with an ancient medical environment where medicinal materials are scarce, medical skills are backward, and doctors have a low status.
He originally wanted to live a low-key life, but he was repeatedly involved in troubles because of his modern medical knowledge - using scraping to save a heatstroke salesman, using anatomy to improve prescriptions, and using vinegar fumigation to fight the plague... However, the ancient medical system is deeply rooted, and his "deviant" attracted the hostility of the Imperial Medical Office, the rejection of his peers, and even the slander of "witch doctors" among the people.
What's even more troublesome is that he discovers that he is not the only "outlier" - Sang Xiaoman, a medicine boy who disguises himself as a man, has a mysterious life experience and excellent medical skills but is suppressed because of his gender; the bronze figure acupuncture diagram left by the traveling Taoist priest actually hides traces of modern medicine; the mysterious patient's "Medicine King Valley" token points to a conspiracy that can subvert the medical world of Dajing...
The "Xinglin Imperial Examination" is about to take place, and Zhou Yanbai must find a balance between tradition and innovation. Otherwise, he will not only lose his foothold, but may also be sent to the stake for "conceiving the public with sorcery."
——Hang the pot to save the world, or go against the will of heaven and change your destiny?
This is a battle of medical ethics that spans thousands of years, and is also a legend of a modern doctor struggling to survive and making a breakthrough in ancient times.
