At sixteen, the physician's daughter Jiang Wanqing flees after her family is destroyed, entering the palace as a servant with her family's secret medicinal cuisine recipes. The ten-year-old prince Liu Ming wakes from a coma with the eyes of an adult and utters the startling words "sterile." He is actually Lin Jingming, a doctor of both Chinese and Western medicine who transmigrated from the future.
They first meet beneath a cliff, where she saves his life with golden needles. When they meet again within the palace walls, he secretly protects her in the body of a young child. From the Medicinal Cuisine Bureau to the Imperial Medical Office, from treating existing illness to "preventing illness before it arises," she follows the Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica, blending medicine into food to fight epidemics and save the people. He uses modern medical knowledge to work behind the scenes and push for reform.
Four romances in the palace intertwine as political intrigue collides with medicine. From the aconite substitution case to the smallpox prevention campaign, from a witchcraft conspiracy to a marriage alliance with the Western Regions, they come to know each other in times of crisis and stay by each other's side through life and death. He says, "From now on, I'll taste every medicinal dish you make first." She gives him a five-colored medicine pouch in return: "May Your Highness always enjoy good health." (This story is fictional.)
A promise spanning a thousand years, a reunion between medical minds from ancient and modern times. When a Han dynasty magnetic needle reappears in 2025, and a heartbeat once again settles at 120, the medical ideals left unfinished in a past life will finally illuminate the world in this one.
This is a vow of love that crosses time, and a legacy of the physician's enduring compassion.
Theme: Compassionate medicine, medicinal cuisine to prevent illness, and benevolence to save the people.
