Shen Ci was an orphan girl whose entire family was massacred during the Dajing Dynasty. She was lucky enough to survive. She opened an inconspicuous medical clinic in the market and hid herself as a female doctor. During the day, she hangs a pot to save the world and uses her superb medical skills to save lives and heal the wounded; in the dark night, she turns into a murderer and takes advantage of diagnosis and treatment to secretly trace the truth behind the Shen family's destruction.
She works step by step, navigating between the court and the rivers and lakes. After peeling off the cocoons from seemingly unrelated murder cases, it was discovered that behind each murder case, there were clues of the tragedy that year. The powerful Prime Minister Pei Ji seems to be unfathomable, but in fact he is the weaver of the web of power that covers the dynasty; and the cold and upright Prince Jiang Yan, although he is at the center of the whirlpool, has developed a complicated protective heart towards this female doctor who bears a blood feud in repeated confrontations.
When the scent of medicine and the shadow of blood intertwined in the medical center, when the layers of fog were lifted, Shen Ci finally saw clearly that the tragedy of annihilation that year was just a tip of this net. Not only does she want to avenge her family, but she also wants to tear apart this net with the kindness of a doctor, and make the promise of going through mountains and rivers together with those who stand by her.
Purpose: Using the redress of injustice as a guide to praise the persistence of truth and justice in desperate situations. With the medical girl and the prince walking side by side, it conveys the belief that good and evil will be rewarded, and the right path is never alone, showing that benevolence and courage can eventually pierce the darkness.
