Chen Pingan just wants to be an ordinary person. He carefully hid his eyes that could see through the medicinal properties of plants, and worked as a taciturn programmer in an office building, making a living using codes instead of silver needles. Until that rainy night, when he performed acupuncture on Ye Zhiqiu, a business woman who suffered from angina pectoris, the secret of those eyes could no longer be hidden.
The identity of the eldest grandson of the "Qing Nang Chen Family" is like an invisible net, pulling him back to the world he escaped from. His father is in a coma due to poisoning, the family is constantly fighting, and a century-old prescription is about to be sold at a low price. And his girlfriend Su Jin, a surgeon who firmly believes in modern medicine, is looking at him with suspicion: "Who are you?"
On one side is the ordinary happiness at your fingertips, on the other side is the responsibility flowing in your blood. When Western medicine giants joined forces with capital to suppress the inheritance of traditional Chinese medicine, and when family elders sold their ancestral secret recipes for profit, Chen Pingan finally understood: some stigmas cannot be erased by changing one's identity.
He wants to use modern technology as a needle and ancient wisdom as medicine to create a way out for traditional Chinese medicine in the gap between capital and tradition. From an escapist to a pioneer, from a programmer to a "young master", Chen Ping'an's path of transformation is the nirvana and rebirth of thousands of years of traditional Chinese medicine in modern society.
"I'm not here to inherit the Chen family," he stood in the family ancestral hall, facing a crowd of uncles who were looking at him eagerly, "I'm here to transform it." Outside the window, an ancient tree that had been struck by lightning was sprouting new buds.
