To relieve suffering and heal wounds, with a compassionate heart, and to safeguard peace: these are the Liang family's ancestral teachings, unchanged through the generations.
Liang Xingzhao's grandfather spent half his life braving wind and snow to treat patients, saving countless families from disaster. In the end, he died in a flood and now rests beneath the mountains and waters of Qinghe.
Her father was trapped by the whims of people. He gave up a youthful love to keep his medical career clean for a lifetime.
She left the splendor of the capital and returned to her homeland of yellow sands, easing the suffering of countless families.
She practiced medicine all her life, tending to pain and witnessing life and death.
She thought her heart was strong, yet she had once wept blood in secret, hiding away the rest of her life with Lu Hengchuan.
He upheld the law, rooted out corruption, and spent his life protecting the people's interests. Until his death, he revered her for her unsullied purity.
They were comrades who stood side by side, the only people who understood each other soul to soul, yet never lovers.
They never confessed the feelings in their hearts, and never crossed that line.
Everyone else found their happy ending. Only their ideals and love were left unwritten, entrusted to the mountains and rivers.
Theme: Three generations of doctors devoted themselves to saving the people, yet could not save themselves. They upheld their ideals for their country and people, and never had a single regret to the very end.
