The Number One Doctor of the Ming Dynasty

In a dramatic and action-packed opening, Wan Changfa, a talented but unorthodox doctor, emerges from a pile of corpses in Fengyang, becoming the most notorious figure in the region. When the prince's wife faces a difficult childbirth, Wan Changfa intervenes, using his exceptional medical skills to save her life and delivering the baby via cesarean section. His unapologetic and unconventional approach to medicine earns him both admiration and scorn from the establishment, with the emperor himself offering a hefty sum of 10,000 taels of gold for his services. However, Wan Changfa's commitment to his craft and his disdain for corruption and hypocrisy lead him to reject the offer, instead choosing to operate on his own terms and accepting only gold and silver as payment. As Wan Changfa navigates the complex web of court politics and intrigue, he must contend with powerful enemies, including the eunuch Hu Weiyong and the official Li Shanjiang, who seek to destroy him. Despite these challenges, Wan Changfa's exceptional medical skills and his cunning ability to outmaneuver his foes earn him a reputation as a master doctor, with even the esteemed doctors of the Imperial Hospital seeking to learn from him. With his unique approach to medicine and his unwavering commitment to his values, Wan Changfa becomes known as the "Gynecology Saint" of the Ming Dynasty, leaving a lasting impact on the medical community and cementing his place in history.
