With his final stitch on the operating table, Feng Duyi transmigrates to the era of Empress Wu Zetian, where he becomes a “heaven-sent auspicious omen” for the rebels.
Faced with Luo Binwang's murderous intent, he relies on his miraculous medical skills to bring the dying back to life, becoming a “living immortal” whom powerful figures vie to please.
Yet he turns down every offer to join them and quietly chooses a down-and-out imperial grandson who is under constant pressure: Li Longji.
Others invest in the present; he invests in the future.
He teaches Li Longji about human anatomy so he can know himself and his enemies. He builds an intelligence network for him, calling it “look, listen, question, and feel.” He helps train death warriors, describing it as “precision strikes, like surgery.”
Empress Wei seizes power, Princess Taiping grows ever stronger... Every courtly storm becomes a remedy he prescribes for the “patient” he has chosen.
When Li Longji steps over a sea of blood to ascend the throne, he turns and bows to Feng Duyi:
“Without you, sir, I would never have reached this day. Please take the post of chancellor of the Tang dynasty!”
Feng Duyi looks at the spirited young emperor before him and smiles faintly.
What he wields is not political cunning, but medicine. What he treats is not illness, but the realm.
