Li Yue, a modern medical student, suffers a heart attack and transmigrates into the Tang dynasty. He becomes a refugee and nearly dies, but is saved by Granny Wang. With modern medical knowledge and a smart wristband, he makes a name for himself at a clinic in a small town, exposing a plot involving poisoned medicine, controlling a dysentery outbreak, and treating strokes and chronic illnesses.
After entering Chang'an, he faces setbacks at the Imperial Medical Academy and struggles with palace intrigue. He develops penicillin and improves surgical techniques, using his medical skills to foil a poisoning plot in the princes' struggle for the throne and to combat a plague of rats and a natural disaster at the border. He even turns down official posts offered by Persia and the Arabs, returning home with high-yield crop seeds to relieve famine.
From a village doctor to a senior official at the Imperial Medical Academy, and then to the “Medical Duke” revered by nations across the world, Li Yue never strays from his original mission: saving lives. He compiles The New Medical Records of the Great Tang and trains disciples to pass on his medical knowledge. Even after his wristband runs out of power, he continues protecting the people with the knowledge he has amassed.
Throughout his life, he uses modern medicine to bring light to the Great Tang. From a refugee on the brink of death, he becomes a legendary physician mourned by the entire nation and buried beside Zhaoling, embodying the truth that “medicine knows no borders, and compassion makes legends.”
