In the modern age, when spiritual energy has run dry, Su Heng, heir to a century-old pharmacy, faces a dead end: his family's signboard is about to be taken away, and he is buried in debt. Just as despair sets in, he awakens the memories of a Medicine Emperor from another world and gains insight into the microscopic properties of ordinary herbs. Facing a foreign corporation's blockade and the doubts of medical authorities, he casts aside red tape and recreates miraculous elixirs using cheap herbs. From curing terminal illnesses to monopolizing the global market, he uses the sheer effectiveness of his medicines to restore traditional Chinese medicine to its peak and begins his path to urban legendhood.
