Zhaoming Returns

After a laboratory explosion, 26-year-old graduate student in traditional Chinese medicine Lin Zhao opened her eyes to find herself in the body of a 15-year-old concubine-born daughter of the Yongchang Marquis household in the Great Zhao Dynasty. Caught in the whirlpool of household intrigue, she used modern medical skills to turn the tables, only to unexpectedly awaken an ancient sacred medical text, the Nine Scrolls of the Spiritual Pivot. From then on, the seemingly frail young woman embarked on an extraordinary path from the depths of a marquis’s estate to secret palace schemes, from healing the sick to seeking immortality.

She saves her legitimate elder sister and fights her stepmother, using silver needles to stir up political storms. She encounters the crown prince and meets a medical immortal, holding fast to her compassion amid power struggles and mystical arts. The seemingly sickly Crown Prince Xiao Chengyu is in truth a patient heir who has kept his strength hidden for years. From using each other to entrusting their lives to one another, the two join forces to uncover secrets from the previous dynasty and a conspiracy surrounding cultivation.

When the gates of the underworld open and plague runs rampant, Lin Zhao fearlessly faces a calamity that threatens heaven and earth as a physician. From “surviving” to “saving others,” she finally realizes that the Way of Medicine is the Way of Humanity. With a heart devoted to the highest good, she proves the path to immortality and writes a legendary chapter as a peerless physician and medical immortal.
