Unemployed Right After Graduation, He Returned to His Village to Open a Clinic and Became an Unexpected Hit

Gu Changsheng, an ancient physician who lived to the age of 105, dies peacefully of old age and transmigrates into the body of a modern-day recent graduate with the same name, trained in traditional Chinese medicine.

With Western medicine flourishing, traditional Chinese medicine in decline, and jobs hard to find, he is rejected by major hospitals. Unfazed, he decides to lie flat in a small village near his hometown of Bozhou, Anhui, and opens an unassuming clinic called Changsheng Medical Hall.

At first, the villagers don't trust his medical skills. That changes when he cures his neighbor's chronic stomach ailment with a bowl of specially prepared medicinal porridge and saves a drowning child with a few silver needles.

Starting with the village's most difficult cases, Gu Changsheng puts his extraordinary diagnostic skills to work. Without surgery or chemotherapy, he uses only herbal medicine and acupuncture to cure countless patients whom major hospitals had given up on.

When videos of his treatments are posted online, they draw a flood of skepticism and accusations of fakery, but the doubters soon turn into enthusiastic fans. Even a billionaire suffering from a terminal illness comes to seek treatment in person, and Gu Changsheng eventually becomes a renowned master physician of traditional Chinese medicine.
