Lin Wei, a top cardiothoracic surgeon, dies suddenly on the operating table. When she opens her eyes again, she has transmigrated into an ugly, naturally disabled piglet in a swamp: one-eyed and lame, caked in mud, abandoned by her mother as soon as she was born, and immediately facing the threat of wild dogs tearing her apart and venomous snakes killing her. She struggles to survive amid carrion and freezing nights. The medical expert who once saved lives with a scalpel can now only grind stones with her tusks to survive, using human intelligence to fight animal instincts and clinging to life in a world where the weak are prey.
At the brink of death, she accidentally eats a spirit herb, awakening an ancient spiritual meridian within her and setting out on a path of transformation against all odds.

Red rashes, a leg regrown, thorns piercing her flesh: every scar becomes a badge on her path to taking human form.

Carrying the legacy of the Secret Records of Shennong, she takes medicine as her blade and her spiritual meridian as her shield, and leaves the swamp behind.

She writes a tale of rising from the dust to
