During the Jungjong period of Joseon, there was an undercurrent. Medical officer Xu Changjin is cautious and abides by his duties as a doctor. However, due to Zhongzong Li Yi's drunkenness and immorality, he unexpectedly becomes pregnant with the king's heir. He is forced to marry his colleague Zhao Feng under false pretenses to preserve his status as a medical officer. At the same time, her lover Min Zhenghao was chased by the Xiaoyin faction and fell off a cliff, but was rescued by the exiled Cui Jinying. In order to protect Zheng Hao, Jinying conspired with his biological father Zhao Jinghui to create the illusion of his death and deceive his political opponents.
In the inner hospital, the doctor Ariel, who had ulterior motives, was reused. She colluded with Queen Wending and Yin Yuanheng to chronically poison Yuan Zi, and framed the blame on Li Guangxi, the leader of the Dayin faction. Jang Geum relied on his doctor's intuition to discover that Yuan Zi's condition was abnormal, and secretly launched an investigation, even testing the poison himself, and finally exposed the conspiracy of "medicine and diet being incompatible".
Min Zhenghao cooperated in the dark to find out the truth about the corruption and arson cases in the Dian Medical Prison. In order to silence them, those in power once again set up a killing spree. At the critical moment, Li Zhongyuan turned to save him, but Jinying defended his love. Under multiple pieces of evidence, Ali was brought to justice, the internal medicine doctor was going crazy, and Queen Wen Ding's power was reduced.
When the dust settled, Zhongzong, with his love and checks and balances, allowed Jang Geum to continue practicing medicine. Jung-ho and the divorced Geum-young each find their own destinations - he chooses to protect Jang-geum as a soul mate, while she starts a new life with the reformed Lee Jong-won. However, the king was seriously ill in his later years, and Jang Geum's risky surgery caused controversy between the government and the public. Before Zhongzong's death, he secretly arranged his escape plan. A new struggle is brewing inside and outside the palace walls, and Jang Geum and Jung Ho's mutual companionship beyond their status has become the gentlest footnote of this era.

It's really great. I've seen the Jang Geum fanfic that is the most consistent with the style of the original work.
