**Building the Core Conflicts**:
- **Antagonist’s Proxy**: Wang Zhenguo, the hospital department director, is driven by jealousy and a struggle for personal gain. He steals Zhang Yang’s girlfriend, abuses his position to oppress him at every turn, blocks his career, and plots to seize the fortuitous opportunity Zhang stumbled upon.
- **Impossible Mission**: With no connections, intern doctor Zhang Yang must rise quickly through the rigid medical hierarchy and the merciless world of ancient martial arts. He must take on deeply entrenched powers and make an impossible leap from the bottom to the top.
- **Deadly Secret**: Zhang Yang possesses the Dragon and Phoenix Secret Canon for Nurturing the Origin and can rapidly increase his cultivation through dual cultivation. If this secret is exposed, the entire ancient martial arts world and even secluded sects will hunt him down and fight to claim it.
**Designing the Character’s Predicament**:
- **Power and Emotional Struggles**: Zhang Yang begins with only the abilities of an ordinary medical intern. After his girlfriend betrays him, he suffers a deep emotional wound that clouds his early judgment and unsettles his resolve. He must overcome his inner demons as he pursues revenge and growth.
- **Social and Environmental Oppression**: The medical system favors seniority, while the ancient martial arts world respects only strength. Zhang Yang sits at the very bottom of both hierarchies, with desperately scarce resources and obstacles at every turn.
**Emotional and Psychological Pressure**:
- **Bitter Victories**: Every increase in strength and every successful act of revenge comes with a complete severing of his once-innocent feelings for the past, drawing him deeper into a whirlpool of power and violence. Victory tastes complicated and bitter.
**Time and Environmental Pressure**:
- **Countdown Threat**: Hostile forces, such as the ancient martial arts Qin family and secluded sects, will not give him time to grow at his own pace
