The protagonist, Lin Yan, is a half-hearted philosophy student in modern times. He has also studied basic Western medicine for several years (purely as a hobby). He died suddenly while staying up late to write his thesis. When he opened his eyes, he found that he had traveled to the fictional Dajing Dynasty and became the third son of the Lin family, a Hanlin scholar who had just "died" of illness. The original owner of this body was so weak that he could not withstand the cold, which gave Lin Yan a chance. The atmosphere of the Dajing Dynasty was relatively open, and caravans from the Western Regions traveled frequently. They occasionally brought exotic gadgets, but few people knew how to deal with them. The modern knowledge and theories of Western medicine in Lin Yan's mind became a "wonderful skill" in this era. For example, when he first woke up, the old doctor invited by his family kept saying, "My pulse is gone, let's prepare for the funeral." He struggled and coughed, scaring everyone into thinking he was a corpse. The old doctor wanted to administer acupuncture to "suppress the evil", but he hurriedly stopped and explained in poor ancient Chinese: "It's just weak breathing, not really dead. You can wipe the carotid artery with warm water..." (Actually, he wanted them to feel the pulse). The old doctor listened with a blank look on his face. He just thought that the young man was talking nonsense after a serious illness, but he didn't expect to really "revitalize" the person.
