Lin Yan is the least noticeable intern in the emergency department. He hides in a corner during rounds, fades into the background at shift handover, and seems to excel at nothing but catching up on sleep in the on-call room. Everyone assumes he’ll leave as soon as his internship is over.
Then an arrogant director takes charge of resuscitating a VIP patient, makes a disastrous call, and the monitor alarms blare as the family erupts. While everyone panics, Lin Yan pulls out a silver needle and says, “Move aside. Give me thirty seconds.”
One needle, and the patient quickly stabilizes. The room falls silent.
But Lin Yan doesn’t seize the moment to make a name for himself. He turns around and goes back to writing the medical chart. The director waits for him to embarrass himself, while department heavyweights put him through one test after another. Yet from shock and suffocation to dangerous chest pain, Lin Yan always turns things around, even when everyone underestimates him.
No one knows he has inherited a secret family acupuncture technique, or that he is the sole successor to a reclusive medical dynasty. Not until a revered master of traditional Chinese medicine rushes to the emergency department and calls Lin Yan by that title
