Jiang Yuyao's father came from a family of imperial doctors of the Wu Kingdom. His great-grandfather Jiang Laojie and his grandfather Jiang Wenyuan were deeply trusted by the emperor because of their superb medical skills. The youngest daughter in Jiang Wenyuan's family became a concubine in the court, and the Jiang family has been clean and honest for generations. Jiang Wenyuan was reused by the royal family because he had a good pulse. Although the eldest son Jiang Sinian and the second son Jiang Siwen did not serve in the court, they opened their own pharmacies to treat people, and were deeply loved by the people. Not long after, Jiang Wenyuan's wife, Wu, suddenly suffered from abdominal disease. However, Jiang Wenyuan could not find the cause of the disease, so Jiang Wenyuan took out the family-herited Huafu Pills and gave it to his wife, Wu. It didn't take long for his wife to gradually recover. This matter was spread among the people, and its reputation grew. Since then, the Jiang family has caused quite a stir in the capital.
However, three months later, the elders of the Jiang family, headed by Jiang Wenyuan, were beheaded, and the rest were sentenced to exile... Jiang Wenyuan's eldest son, Jiang Sinian, had a daughter, Jiang Yuyao, who was three years old at the time of the incident. Jiang Wenyuan's second son, Jiang Siwen, had a son, Jiang Yuyan, who was four and a half years old at the time of the incident. Jiang Wenyuan's daughter, Jiang Sixian, had given birth to a prince named Yan Wenjian, who was just one month old when the incident occurred. Jiang Wenyuan's daughter also survived the birth of the prince, but was only banned, and the emperor gradually alienated her.
Concept: "Don't Tell Lies" tells the story of how a little girl Jiang Yuyao grew from a naughty child to a medical woman who saved lives and healed the wounded.
