It runs about 767,000 characters over 373 chapters and was completed on September 3, 2022. The story begins at Jiangyuan City Third People's Hospital. Sun Tian, a surgical intern of ordinary background and no connections, refuses to give a gift to Director Wang Hongtao; he is reassigned to pediatrics as a nurse under the pretext of "testing his stress tolerance." The same day, his girlfriend Zhang Miaomiao breaks up with him over the phone, saying she already has a new boyfriend. Back in his dormitory after these blows to career and love, Sun Tian's eyes ache sharply and a voice in his mind intones, "The Heavenly Eye appears, the inheritance awakens." He thus awakens the Medicine King inheritance left by his ancestors, learns that he is a descendant of the Medicine King, and resolves to heal the world. With the inheritance, Sun Tian gains such medical skills as guiding needles with qi and a lost needling technique, along with supernatural powers like the Heavenly Eye. He cures the grave illness of the son of business tycoon He Mutian, bringing him back from the brink with the "Ten-Finger Needles" technique and rising to fame overnight. He then exposes Wang Hongtao's taking of bribes and abuse of power in the hospital's internal power struggles, topples him, and rises to a higher position himself. The story expands from the hospital into the business world and the jianghu, involving doctor-patient disputes, feuds among wealthy families, harassment by medical rivals, and underground bounties, interwoven with several romantic threads. As a typical urban power-fantasy, the book moves briskly with dense conflict, using episodic medical cases to chart the protagonist's growth; it packages elements of traditional Chinese acupuncture and herbal prescriptions into accessible, visualized "miraculous techniques" while folding in such real-world themes as workplace intrigue and business competition.
