During the Northern Song Dynasty, the situation was changing. The young doctor Lu Qingan went from studying at the Bianjing Imperial Medical Bureau to leading a life of ups and downs in troubled times.
In Bianjing, he witnessed Zhou Muhe, the "Finger of Immortal", who used his medical skills to cling to the powerful, and he also adhered to his father's original intention of "simplifying the integrity test" to help the world; he rescued the mysterious injured who fled late at night, and witnessed the suffering and blood and tears of the shipwrights and masons under the Huashi Gang.
The prosperity of the prosperous age is like a dream, but the undercurrent of the times has quietly surged. With the Jin people's southern invasion and the Fangla Uprising, Lu Qing'an was forced to flee Bianjing with his pregnant wife and went south to Suzhou.
In the south of the Yangtze River, he no longer faced only the suffering of patients, but also the test of life and death in the raging war and chaos of war - his wife gave birth prematurely on the way, and the child was dying; he was forced to get involved in the rebel army, and rescued the mutilated body in the wounded soldier camp; he unexpectedly reunited with the woman he saved in the past, who had become a counselor beside the leader of the rebel army...
The doctor hangs a pot, which contains not only medicinal herbs and silver needles, but also the warmth of human nature and moral choices in troubled times, and how an ordinary person can keep an everlasting lamp of benevolence in the torrent of history.
This is a classical narrative about medicine and worldly affairs, ideals and reality, perseverance and wandering. It is also a legend of "curing diseases and saving lives" written by a young man throughout his life in the fission of the times.
