In order to become the first professor of surgery, Caiqian and his father-in-law joined forces, through bribes and various shady transactions, and finally got their wish and obtained the position of professor.
When he thought he had reached the peak of his life and reached the heights of his dreams, due to his overconfidence and sloppiness, the patient Sasaki died due to misdiagnosis, and the tragedy was staged.
Sasaki's family took Theimi to court, and although the Family was terrified, he used all his strength and connections to win the case in the first instance, but the patient's family still insisted on appealing.
Shuji Satomi, the first internal medicine department, is a doctor who interned at the same time as Caiqian, but he is a scholar who is realistic, full of justice, and devoted to research, and in the process, the two have different choices and embark on completely different paths.
