Just after graduating from university, traditional Chinese medicine practitioner Huo Chen is fired by his department director on trumped-up charges. He takes over the run-down clinic his grandfather left behind on his deathbed, expecting to barely scrape by, only to find the family heirloom, the ancient text Pulse Secrets of Taisu, in the clinic!
The Taisu lineage can tell life from death and cure every illness!
From then on, difficult and unusual diseases are no match for him...
But as his medical skills improve, Huo Chen uncovers a shocking secret: the plague god sealed away a hundred years ago by the Huo and Su families is closely tied to the biochem warfare conspiracy of a modern multinational pharmaceutical corporation!
And then Su Yanqing, a mysterious young woman bearing the bloodline of the Phoenix, comes looking for him and enters into a life-and-death pact with him.
See how a divine doctor of the Taisu lineage uses silver needles to shape the fate of the world, expose conspiracies, and slay the plague god, writing a legendary tale of medicine in the modern city!
