During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, undercurrents surged in the court. In this changing era, a girl's fate was completely changed by an unsolved case - she was Su Jing, a close disciple of the miracle doctor Li Shizhen, and the "Herbal Detective" who would become famous in the capital in the future.
Su Jing was adopted by Li Shizhen on the streets of Beijing when she was young, and her life experience remains a mystery. She is extremely talented and thoughtful. Not only is she proficient in pharmacology, acupuncture, and pulse diagnosis, she is also good at peeking into the darkness of human nature and the light of truth from the subtleties such as complexion, pupils, body odor, and medicine residue.
On the way to pursue the truth, she met Xiao Yi, the envoy of Jinyiwei Town. At first, he was a cold-faced official who suspected her of "practicing medicine beyond the bounds"; later, he became her strongest ally and guardian.
