Benevolence and Righteousness

The century-old family clinic, Benevolence Hall, famed for its healing and charity, is wiped out overnight. Its only daughter, Lin Jianlu, crawls from a mountain of corpses, clutching half a bloodstained tiger tally and her family's treasured Heavenly One Acupuncture Manual. To uncover the truth behind her family's massacre, she conceals her identity and uses her unparalleled medical skills to save people from both the underworld and the law-abiding world. From a border scout framed for a crime to a poison master who walks the line between good and evil; from a down-and-out bookkeeper who controls the underground flow of money to a gambling king hidden among ordinary folk... Every extraordinary person she saves becomes a spark of light in the abyss of a deadly mystery.

Yet behind this seemingly simple revenge lies a vast conspiracy sweeping through both the imperial court and the martial world. Royal secrets, remnants of a former dynasty, plague-bringing poison, turmoil across the land... Saving one person is easy; saving the world is hard. When the mastermind uses the people as bait to set an inescapable trap, Lin Jianlu faces her final choice: follow the ancient teaching that a physician should stay out of conflict, or wager her own life and embody the true weight of “benevolence and righteousness.” It is not the wisdom of weighing gains and losses, but the lonely courage to do what she knows cannot be done.

From then on, wherever her silver needles point, so too do the hearts of the people. A magnificent tale, painted with compassion and righteousness, is about to unfold.
