[A fallen jewel of medicine, a spirit-sensitive apprentice who knows no prescriptions. When the souls of physicians from a thousand years ago awaken within them, the two become the “shadows” of the sages of old, living through the epic history of medicine from Shennong to Li Shizhen. Amid plagues, business wars, and covert battles between civilizations, they rebuild the backbone of life in Huaxia.]

Su Qingyan, a fallen jewel of medicine, and Qin Yue, a spirit-sensitive herb-gathering apprentice from the wilderness, meet during a strange plague. At the time, the mysterious Western nation is infiltrating Dayin in the name of “medical science,” secretly plundering ancient texts and monopolizing medicinal resources.

When the crisis threatens the very survival of their civilization, the thousand-year-old physician souls sleeping in their bloodlines suddenly awaken. They discover that they are the mortal projections of the “Heavenly Dao of Chinese Medicine,” able to become nameless shadows beside the sages of every era. They experience Zhang Zhongjing's compassion as he confronts epidemic diseases, feel Hua Tuo's resolve as he creates the Book of the Green Bag, and accompany Li Shizhen on his arduous journey through mountains and rivers in search of knowledge...

Each return from the river of history brings them the wisdom to overcome the plagues, business wars, military injuries, and attacks from rival schools of thought in their own time. From imperial palaces to military camps, from bustling streets to remote mountains, they save the people, identify medicinal herbs, fight unscrupulous merchants, and protect ancient texts. They also face off against an unparalleled genius who intends to radically transform, or even replace, Chinese medicine in a final battle over the philosophy of life.

This is not only an epic of two people's growth, but also a sweeping history of the survival of Chinese medical civilization.
