Yuan Xuan was taken in by a reclusive master at the age of six. After eighteen years of grueling cultivation, he became a superb physician.
At twenty-four, he descended the mountain, hoping to heal the sick, experience the mortal world, and enjoy the company of beautiful women as he climbed to the top of life.
But dreams are grand, while reality is harsh...
The moment he entered the city, a strange patient bit him.
Using his peerless medical skills, he barely managed to hold on to his reason and memories.
But seeing his ashen-gray skin and bloodshot eyes in the mirror, Yuan Xuan fell into thought:
“Wait... wasn't I supposed to be in a feel-good urban miracle-doctor story?”
“Is it too late to switch careers and study The Zombie's Guide to Self-Improvement?”
Even more absurdly, he discovered that his silver needles could not only save people, but might also... control other zombies?
And the “patient” who bit him seemed to be the source of the mutation sweeping across the globe.
