In the eighteenth year of the Chunhe era, a plaque reading "A Family of Doctors for Generations" hangs in the center of the Li family hall. The sole purpose of Li Yanwen's life, the eldest daughter of the Li family, is to climb onto the red-lacquered wooden table and take down that elm plaque, which she would dearly love to burn. She enters the medical bureau under a secret identity, anxiously navigates its social circles, makes poverty her mission and mere survival her creed. In the end, she falls into the hands of the Crown Prince of Qi and, with only herself in mind, sets foot on a road with no return.
The seemingly desireless physician of the Li family x the seemingly composed Crown Prince.
At the end of life's journey, only this remains: People may travel different roads, yet end up under one roof. All that is gained and loved turns to dust.
Theme: Even a life that begins in an ordinary way can shine when its convictions take root.
