Li Ming, a modern medical school graduate student, is unexpectedly transported to the prosperous Tang era after an ancient corpse in his laboratory stirs and a ghostly green light appears. He awakens in the body of “Li Erlang,” a refugee with a knife wound, in a ruined temple. Beneath the wound on his chest lies a mysterious arcane light capable of healing injuries and awakening medical knowledge, giving him a means to survive in this unfamiliar age.
Newly arrived in this strange world, Li Ming narrowly escapes bandits and is rescued by Qin Zhao, a commander of the imperial guards. He then travels with him to Chang'an. Along the way, Li Ming puts his modern medical knowledge to good use: in Qingfeng Town, he cleans a wound with warm water and uses alcohol to bring down a fever, saving the grandson of Doctor Liu from the local clinic. In return, he receives a letter of recommendation to Huichun Hall in Chang'an. In Zhao Family Village, he uses the arcane light to ease the villagers' injuries, but gets caught up in a bandit affair and unexpectedly encounters the “Xuanyin Jade,” an object connected to his transmigration, drawing mysterious men in black who want to seize it.
After reaching Chang'an, Li Ming uses emergency first aid to stabilize a feverish child on the street, earning the approval of Doctor Chen at Huichun Hall. He is about to begin his career at a Tang dynasty clinic, but the secrets of his transmigration remain shrouded in mystery: the connection between the arcane light in his chest and the ancient corpse, the mysterious organization coveting the Xuanyin Jade, the court faction behind Qin Zhao, and the choice between “staying in the prosperous Tang to guard the flow of time” and “seeking a way home” all make his road ahead full of challenges.
Blending fantasy transmigration, historical settings, and the growth of a physician, the story depicts both the bustling street life of Zhuque Avenue in the prosperous Tang and the daily work of the healers at Huichun Hall. Its fantastical elements, including healing with arcane light and the resonance of mystical jade, weave together the struggles between the imperial court and a mysterious organization. Armed with modern medical skills and guided by a compassionate heart, Li Ming fights disease and saves lives amid the collision of ancient and modern medicine. He transforms from a refugee into a rising physician in Chang'an, writing a legendary tale of “mystic medicine in the Tang” that spans a thousand years.
