Three fingers can determine life or death, and a packet of silver needles can take you anywhere. From a small town to the provincial capital, from an unknown intern to a master physician of traditional Chinese medicine, Shen Nan uses ancient prescriptions from The Golden Fragments of Qi Huang to snatch patients from the King of Hell time and again. Food stagnation turning to heat, stagnation in the gallbladder, liver qi constraint transforming into fire: every prescription has a source, and every medicinal ingredient stands up to professional scrutiny. He shows everyone that the confidence of traditional Chinese medicine has never come from words. It comes from the pulse, the needle, and the decoction.
