This Imperial Physician Wants to Go Home

Li Wei, a master of modern surgery, transmigrated in his sleep to the Great Sheng dynasty, where he became an obscure junior medical official at the Imperial Medical Academy.

He skillfully stitched up festering, hard-to-heal saber wounds, leaving no scars. When the imperial physicians had given up on critically ill patients, he used modern surgical techniques to snatch them back from the gates of death.

Despite possessing astonishing medical skills, he had no interest in pursuing wealth or fame.

He had only one fixation: finding a rift in time and space and returning to the modern world. His wife and young daughter were waiting for him at home to come back and cut his birthday cake.

But a healer's heart could not stand by when faced with suffering.

His repeated rescues made him famous, but also drew him ever deeper into the treacherous palace. Old and new medical practices clashed fiercely, the court seethed with a covert struggle for the throne, and a mysterious celestial phenomenon involving jade shards concealed the secret of his transmigration.

There was also Yun Shang, a female medical official who carried a lantern through the long night. Several times, she helped conceal his earth-shattering secret, quietly staying by his side.

When the jade shards were finally gathered and the full moon heralded the opening of the road home, Li Wei suddenly realized:

He could cure every illness under heaven, but not the homesickness in his heart. And the path back home had long since been bound fast by the ties he had formed in this strange world.

“I can relieve the suffering of countless people and heal the world's wounds, but I cannot undo your single-minded longing to go home.”
