Xu Yi was born into a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners. After enduring eight years of medical school, he finally became a doctor, only to find himself transported back to the Northern Song Dynasty.
Unlike his comfortable modern life with harmonious parents and respectful siblings, he starts with only —a thatched cottage, a dog, and himself.
In this unfamiliar era, Xu Yi has become a teenage boy whose family fortune has been exhausted and whose parents have died from illness. With an empty house and a few dozen copper coins to his name, forget about continuing his studies; if he doesn’t find a way to earn a living soon, he’ll starve.
What else can he do? Return to his old profession and become a doctor in the Northern Song Dynasty.
