In a post-apocalyptic wasteland, radioactive dust blankets the earth, human genes are collapsing, and mutated creatures run rampant. Ye Qing, a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner who carries a needle pouch and counts steps, has wandered the ruins for nine years. By chance, he discovers that acupuncture can make the meridians glow green, cure the genetic collapse that causes terminal illnesses, and even kill mutated behemoths with a single silver needle.
When Western medicine is powerless, he uses the wisdom of ancient Chinese medicine to rewrite humanity's fate. From wasteland camps to conspiracies in the safe zones, from Earth's forbidden pyramids to encounters with interstellar civilizations, Ye Qing leads humanity from the brink of extinction into a new era among the stars.
This is a story about inheritance and awakening. In a world of despair, he uses a single silver needle to ignite humanity's last hope.
