Yuncheng, a water town in Jiangnan, was once the home base of the Shen family, a renowned medical clan with a century of history. A devastating fire wiped out the entire family. Shen Zhiyi, the legitimate daughter, was betrayed by her own kin, and her fiancé personally handed her a cup of poison.
Three years later, itinerant doctor Qin Suwen returned from the borderlands and opened a pharmacy in the southern part of the city. As her silver needles moved between her fingertips, the secrets hidden in every pulse gradually came to light.
By chance, she gained a golden finger and mastered the lost true teachings of The Lost Records of a Hundred Herbs. With silver needles, she could detect poison, stimulate acupoints to heal injuries, and revive those suffering from seemingly incurable conditions.
Wherever her needles pointed, old cases resurfaced. She saw through disguises and exposed lies. Even the powerful could not escape the truth revealed by their pulses.
While others were still mired in suspicion and gossip, she had already established herself through her medical skill. Those who once trampled on her now came to her for treatment.
In this life, she would make everyone who had wronged her watch their glory crumble, and pay their blood debts in full.
