The Secret of Jiuqu Alley

At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, the current situation in Hongfu was turbulent and the people's livelihood was in decline. In the deep alleys at the intersection of Zhangjiang and Fuhe, there lives a mysterious old woman known as "Jiangyou Yinpo". She is nameless and alone, but she possesses astonishing medical and supernatural skills. Legend has it that she can communicate with plants and trees, discern the mysteries of hundreds of veins, have a pair of withered hands that can revive serious illnesses and prolong life, and can also see through yin and yang and predict misfortunes and blessings. However, this miracle doctor, who is regarded as a "living Bodhisattva" by the people, has always been shrouded in mystery: Why did she hide from the world and live in seclusion? What secrets are hidden in that bronze medicine box that never leaves your hand? Whenever there is a mysterious illness or strange incident in the city, she will always appear quietly in the dark night and resolve the crisis in incredible ways, only to disappear without a trace before dawn. As a young apprentice with a blood feud opens the firewood door, Yinpo's centuries-old past is gradually revealed. A life of ups and downs spanning the Taiping Rebellion in the late Qing Dynasty, the Westernization Movement, and the warlords' melee slowly unfolds, and the fate of her and the ancient city of Hongfu has long been closely connected.
