Lu Xinghe, a top surgeon, wakes up as a puppet crown prince who is destined to die within seven steps. The moment he opens his eyes, he is being forced to drink poison, while his father is popping pills as if he plans to ascend to heaven. And the entire court? Nothing but patients!
He secretly mixes Liuwei Dihuang pills into the immortality elixir, then uses his sharp-tongued comedy routines at court to treat those who refuse to listen: “Prime Minister, if you don't get that hemorrhoid operated on, it might block the road to remonstrance.” “Ninth Prince, frequent nighttime urination is a sign of kidney deficiency. Your nephew has just the medicine!”
When the crown prince performs emergency brain surgery to save the emperor, builds the empire's first ICU, and uses penicillin to wipe out a plague... all his enemies are left sputtering: This guy fights dirty! Lu Xinghe smiles faintly. “My medical skills can treat people, govern a nation, and cure anyone who refuses to accept the advance of civilization!”
