The heroine, Su Qinghuan, is the heir to a reclusive miracle doctor. Her mastery of acupuncture is so extraordinary that she can bring the dead back to life and restore flesh to bare bones. But because of her master's dying wish, she swore never to set foot in the capital or deal with the powerful. Then an unexpected plague shattered the peace.

To save the lives of everyone in town, Su Qinghuan had no choice but to break her oath and head north.
