My name is Li Zhengyan, a country doctor.
My father died of a sudden illness ten years ago. I believed in it for ten years, until another person died in Hejian Medicine Field. That man had mildew on the base of his tongue, blue nails, and black blood oozing from his mouth and nose - he was slowly eaten to death by "living poison", and his death was exactly the same as my father's!
Tonghe Pharmacy, which sells counterfeit medicines, has Tai Hospital behind its back. I uncovered the Imperial List and saved the Queen Mother. When I entered the Imperial Hospital, the hospital judge Zhang Chengfu handed me a banknote and told me to shut up. I threw the banknote directly in his face.
That night I dug out my father's old medical notes and found out that he had also checked out Tonghe Pharmacy. After checking, he became "sick".
Chains of counterfeit medicines, mysterious shadows in deep palaces, and murders with live poisons, one after another, weighed heavily on my mind. Real medicine can save lives, but fake medicine can kill lives. I will repay this blood feud with my own hands!
