According to Confucius, 'an educated woman is a worthless woman', but Tan Yunxian born into an elite family, yet haunted by death, separation and loneliness is being raised by her grandparents to be of use. She begins her training in medicine with her grandmother and, as she navigates the male world of medicine, requiring tact and diplomacy, she struggles against the confining world of her class.
