Shen Weiwan, heir to the modern-day Jishitang medical hall, unexpectedly transmigrates to the Great Jing dynasty and becomes an orphan running a dilapidated pharmacy in Qingxi Town. She wakes up seriously injured and feverish, then gets bound to a mysterious “Medical Path Inheritance System.” Her mind also retains memories of an ancient volume called The Illustrated Compendium of a Hundred Herbs.
A frail body, a run-down pharmacy, and an unfamiliar world: that's all she has from the start. But the instincts of a healer are etched into her bones. Drawing on the superb medical skills of her previous life and following the System's missions, she starts with simple sprains and bruises, gradually reclaiming the glory of a physician.
When danger strikes as she gathers herbs on the mountain behind town, she identifies a rare plant with the help of The Illustrated Compendium of a Hundred Herbs and averts disaster. She earns the neighbors' respect with her compassion and skill, bringing the dilapidated pharmacy back to life. The reputation points on her System panel steadily accumulate, and the skills she unlocks grow ever more powerful, from basic bandaging to advanced purification, from ordinary herbs to the legend of the Divine Farmer's Cauldron. Her path in medicine gradually unfolds.
Yet beneath the calm, undercurrents are stirring. The mysterious Witch Doctor Cult, long-buried family secrets, and power struggles at court begin to surface as her reputation grows. She meets Ye Chen, whose identity is shrouded in mystery. From wary encounters to standing side by side, they face one deadly trial after another, joining forces to unravel the witchcraft conspiracy and protect the people.
From a little pharmacy in Qingxi Town to Jishitang in the capital, then to the battlefields of the Northern Frontier, Shen Weiwan uses her medical skills and compassionate heart, aided by the System, not only to heal countless people but also to uncover the ultimate secret of The Illustrated Compendium of a Hundred Herbs.
