Shen Kuo, the top professor of cardiothoracic surgery in the 21st century, suffered a rare surgical accident during a thunderstorm and became a poor scholar in Bianjing City whose family was in poverty and could only study hard. There is no systematic cheat, only a head full of modern medical knowledge, basic physical and chemical principles, and a vague understanding of the precarious situation before the "Jingkang Disgrace" in the Northern Song Dynasty.
He must survive first - use his medical skills to save lives and heal the wounded in order to gain a foothold;
He wants to live a good life - improve farm tools, promote hygiene concepts, lead his neighbors to "farm" for production, and accumulate the first pot of gold;
He must also protect the people he cares about in this turbulent era - the smart and tenacious merchant's daughter, the noble daughter of the clan who carries a secret, the valiant and heroic female border guard... Dealing with the powerful officials in the court, quietly injecting the glimmer of the future into the national defense and people's livelihood of the Northern Song Dynasty, fighting for a glimmer of vitality and change before the shadow of Jingkang falls!
