In the last years of the Yan Dynasty, there were natural and man-made disasters, the feudal lords were separatist, and the people on the northern border were in dire straits. A sudden death while working overtime caused Xu Ziran, a social worker, to travel through time and become an orphan at the bottom of Black Rock Village. He guarded a dilapidated hut and accompanied his emaciated adopted sister. He faced exorbitant taxes and oppression by powerful men. Even surviving became a luxury.
In a desperate situation, the [Troubled Times Healing System] comes. The healing technique can save lives and heal the wounded, the eye of insight can see through people's hearts, and the novice gift pack can illuminate the glimmer of survival for him. He used a herb and a pack of styptic powder as stepping stones to exchange for food, protect land, and take good care of his sister; he healed the wounds of his neighbors, gathered the strength of the villagers, fought against exploitation, resisted bandits, and struggled to survive in troubled times. But the covetousness of the powerful Mr. Zhang, the crisis Hu Nanxi is in, the barbarians at the border who are ready to move, and the chaos of the world falling apart all tell him: in troubled times, only those who are strong enough can protect everything they want to protect.
From a social animal to a guardian in troubled times, from surviving alone to establishing a pure land, Xu Ziran holds the healing power given by the system, and amidst the flash of swords and suffering in the world, he saves others while completing his own growth. When healing meets troubled times, when warmth collides with cruelty, can he break fate, end war, and bring peace to this devastated world?
