Gao-Yuan has experienced two lives: in his first life, he followed his nature, but encountered setbacks everywhere, and was not able to save his relatives. In his second life, Gao-Yuan got a chance to be reborn.  Gao-Yuan adapted to the changes of the times, actively treated his relatives, and never forgot his original intention, grew from an ordinary doctor to a master of Chinese medicine. At the same time, it also describes the ups and downs of the life stories of several doctors from various social groups at ‘Zhang-Zhuang Clinic’ where Gao-Yuan works.
