After his soul transmigrates to Haozhou at the end of the Yuan dynasty, Shen Yan meets the young Zhu Chongba. Raised in the tradition of Chinese medicine, he secretly possesses modern medical knowledge and keeps a low profile as he establishes himself as a physician. When chaos descends, he joins Zhu Yuanzhang’s army. With his superb medical skills, he saves the wounded, improves emergency care to protect generals such as Xu Da and Chang Yuchun, and steadies the army and shelters displaced people with effective disease-prevention remedies. Along the way, he helps Zhu Yuanzhang defeat his rivals, overthrow the Yuan dynasty, and establish the Great Ming. After achieving fame and success, he turns down real authority and accepts only an honorary title, devoting himself to public health. He establishes dispensaries, compiles medical texts, and treats disaster-related epidemics, quietly protecting the people and those close to him.
As the Hongwu reforms are implemented, he keeps strictly to his duties as a physician and avoids factional politics. But he notices resentment brewing among Imperial Medical Academy staff caught up in conflicts of interest, while some civil officials secretly conspire and keep watch nearby. He conceals warnings in his medical texts. Yet he cannot avoid the turmoil: Shen Yan, living in semi-seclusion on the outskirts of the city, mysteriously disappears from his private clinic without a trace, leaving only a fragmentary medical text and hidden warnings behind. His disappearance triggers a great purge under Hongwu. Zhu Yuanzhang, furious, orders a thorough investigation. Zhu Biao leads the effort, narrowing suspicion to imperial physicians and civil officials, but fails to find solid proof. After coming of age, Zhu Xiongying takes up the investigation. Three generations of emperors spend their lives without solving the mystery. The legend of a common physician who helped an emperor unify the realm ultimately becomes one of the Great Ming’s unsolved cases.
Daily life in the early stage + passion, later stage... Well, maybe I've read too many novels and comics from Xiaren. Hahaha, Concubine Lu's family has been slapped so many times. They are like passers-by. At first glance, this paragraph may seem a bit uncomfortable 😂 😂 The author's skills are really extraordinary. For the first time on this platform, in this type of novel, the Lu family and the Jiangnan nobles are written in a realistic way. The final truth actually gave me goosebumps. Criticize it for being awesome! Author 👍 I hope you get better and better 👍 Oh yes, the description of Lao Zhu is also the same as him in history 😂
It is a very interesting book. The early days are good and realistic, and the later suspense cases are also good and thrilling. However, the pace in the middle is a bit slow, but for a new author, it is already a very good book. I wish you a prosperous future.
The author writes very well. He writes about medicine in great detail and I look forward to the future development.
