The Legend of the Golden Needle Divine Doctor

During the Later Liang period of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, imperial authority was in decline. The northern Beidi tribes invaded year after year, while the southern provinces were divided among powerful clans and warlords. The court established the Medical Oversight Bureau to monopolize medicinal herbs, but in truth it colluded with the warlords. Under the pretext of fighting epidemics, it rounded up refugees and conscripted them into the army, secretly using substandard medicine to control the people. Folk healers were arrested in droves for practicing medicine without authorization.

The healer Shen Qinghe studied the Golden Needle technique under her master from childhood and mastered the body's meridians and acupoints. When she refused to concoct a hallucinogenic drug for a warlord, her school was destroyed. Carrying the Medical Casebook of Secrets, which documented the warlords' crimes, she fled. Along the way, she used her golden needles to save people and gather allies, all while evading the Medical Oversight Bureau's pursuit. In the end, she exposed the conspiracy to fake an epidemic and dismantled the alliance between the warlords and the bureau.

She also uses acupuncture to benefit the people of her time, and her medical skills to heal the whole world!
