Shen Yan is an attending surgeon in the pancreatic surgery department at Jing City's First Hospital, a master with a scalpel in the operating room. His mentor, Zhou Bingren, spent his life researching pancreatic cancer, yet never lived to see it conquered.
Jiang Yin, a returning biotechnologist and R&D director, lost her mother to pancreatic cancer. She brought her research materials to Shen Yan and opened with, "Your teacher didn't die of an illness."
One is a doctor who cares only about right and wrong, not gains and losses. The other is a scientist so rational she is almost cold. One saves lives in the operating room; the other finds breakthroughs in the lab. Together, they must face Qiming, a hidden alliance that has entrenched itself in the medical industry for decades.
