One Needle Revives Modern Medicine

Zisu, a medical woman at the Imperial Medical Academy of Great Qi, transmigrates to Jiangcheng in 2024 during a thunderstorm. New to this unfamiliar world, she uses her superb acupuncture skills to save an elderly man suffering from leg cramps beside a park bench. She unexpectedly becomes a viral sensation as a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, and Director Wang of the city's traditional Chinese medicine hospital invites her to join the staff. Faced with skepticism from Western medicine practitioners, monopolies on inferior medicinal herbs, and rivals who falsify new-drug data, Zisu never backs down. She ventures into the mountains to search for medicinal plants and builds her own ecological cultivation base. Combining ancient remedies from The Spiritual Pivot with modern medicine, she develops new Chinese medicines for high blood pressure and Alzheimer's disease. She also livestreams to teach people about traditional Chinese medicine, leads a team on overseas medical missions, and promotes the inclusion of traditional Chinese medicine in international medical standards. From a “girl in ancient costume” giving free consultations on the street to chairwoman of the Global Alliance of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Zisu uses her silver needles to break through the prejudice that traditional Chinese medicine is outdated. She gives the thousand-year-old medical tradition renewed brilliance in the modern age, and finds enduring purpose in another world as she devotes herself to protecting others' health.
