Imperial China, 15th century. Tan Yunxian is an aristocrat, and her fate, like the fates of thousands of other daughters of officials, is predetermined: a monotonous life in the inner chambers, the unbearable torment of bandaged feet, and then - an arranged marriage and the indispensable obligation to give birth to a son. But after the death of her mother, her father sends young Yunxian to her physician parents, and there, under the guidance of her grandmother, the girl plunges headlong into the study of medicine. According to the Confucian canon, a male doctor is not allowed to see women, and a female doctor is not allowed to come into contact with blood, but someone must heal women's ailments! Yunxian and her friend Meilin decide to dedicate their lives to it. Fascinating narrative, full of dramatic turns of the plot - a new success of the famous Lisa Xi, the author of the novels "Snow Flower and Cherished Fan", "Peony Arbor", "Girls from Shanghai".
