Ye Qiu, a time traveler with peerless medical skills and a modern soul, has established a reputation that cannot be insulted in the capital, where the powerful gather, by virtue of his silver needle skills of "living dead people, flesh and bones". However, her real wish was not to hang the pot in the temple to help the world, but to cure the "root cause" of poverty and weakness in this era. During a political deal, she volunteered to go to Xin'an County, the most remote and chaotic northern wasteland in the empire. She was nominally relegated, but in fact it was a testing ground for her ambitions to be realized.
She met Lu Chen, a general who was sent here due to a family injustice, a man who was also unwilling and eager for change. The two went from being wary of each other to working together. Ye Qiu conquered the hearts of the people and solved the plague with his medical skills. He also used knowledge beyond the times to start from scratch: firing cement to strengthen the city walls, improving farm tools and crops to increase yields, establishing simple schools to popularize basic arithmetic and health knowledge, and setting up workshops that operated on the assembly line principle... He built a barren land into a vibrant "Xin'an City".
