Qin Yue, a native of Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, is an attending physician in the Department of Neurology. He is obsessed with the archeology of Qin Terracotta Warriors in his spare time. Late one night, when he touched the head of a kneeling archer warrior in the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pit, he was dragged by a strange force into the Qin Kingdom 2,300 years ago.
He traveled to the ninth year of King Qin Huiwen. At that time, Ying Si had defeated Shang Yang, reused Zhang Yi, and expanded the territory, but he had been suffering from severe headaches and nightmares for a long time. History books only record that he was violent and suspicious, but no one knew that this was the bitter result of old brain diseases and psychological trauma. The Imperial Medical Office was helpless, the attendants were frequently killed, and the entire Xianyang Palace was shrouded in imminent fear.
Qin Yue was recruited into the Imperial Medical Office as a "wild witch" and was accidentally called into the palace after treating several dying patients. Facing Ying Si, who was drawing his sword and going crazy, he did not kneel down and beg for mercy. Instead, he relied on the knowledge of modern medicine to accurately describe every meal and every awakening of King Qin in the past three days. Ying Si put away his sword and asked him to feel his pulse.
What Qin Yue treats is not "middle evil", but stasis of brain collaterals and hyperactivity of liver yang. He administered acupuncture, adjusted prescriptions, and provided counseling, allowing Ying Si to finally have a peaceful sleep. But the root cause of the disease was far deeper than imagined - he gradually discovered that bloodline problems caused by intragenerational marriages in the Qin royal family were eroding the lives of Ying Si and his descendants. If there is no intervention, Ying Dang will raise the cauldron and die, Ying Ji will grow old in suspicion, and Qin Guodong's great plan will be interrupted by "mad king misdirecting government" again and again.
Ying Si began to trust this "stranger" during night talks, and even made an exception to allow him to participate in the restructuring of the Imperial Medical Office. However, the old aristocrats regarded Qin Yue as the source of evil words and deception, and assassinations, poisonings, and false accusations followed one after another. While Qin Yue used his medical skills to protect himself, he secretly wrote "New Treatise on Qin Diseases" with Ying Si's acquiescence, hiding his understanding of encephalopathy a thousand years later in the bamboo slips.
The price of time travel is also approaching - Qin Yue's body begins to show signs of time and space going back. Before he leaves, he must not only relieve Ying Si's headache, but also make him realize that the strongest enemy of Great Qin is not outside Hangu Pass, but in the out-of-control minds of every generation of monarchs.
In the end, Qin Yue left behind the scroll of bamboo slips and half a copper coin, and returned to modern times amidst the resounding echoes of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses. He woke up from the pit of terracotta warriors, holding in his hands a relic that did not belong to this era. When I walked out of the museum, there was a vague sigh in the wind:
"I have never had a headache in this life.
Purpose: With a doctor's benevolence, he can cure the emperor's illness; cure one person's disease and save the fate of a country.
