When the President's daughter, Liu Xin Ping, was admitted to the hospital for chemotherapy, Dr. Xu Da Ming and Dr. Tang Guo Tai took on key roles in her medical team. Both doctors saw this as an opportunity to showcase their abilities for the position of hospital director. Xu recommended a Central IV implantation to ease Liu's discomfort during treatment and arranged for Dr. Su Yi Hua, a specialist in this procedure, to perform the surgery. However, Tang was angered by Xu's decision to involve one of his surgeons without approval. In an attempt to undermine Xu and take credit for the treatment, Tang replaced Su with Dr. Qiu Qing Cheng and falsely claimed to have performed the surgery himself. This decision backfired when Liu experienced serious complications post-surgery. Despite facing backlash from Tang, Su stood his ground and defended his actions. This led to his isolation from the surgical department. Meanwhile, anesthesiologist Guan Xin was pressured by hospital director Huang Kai-Yuan, through Tang, to take blame for a medical malpractice claim. Guan refused, facing scrutiny from both the hospital and the victim's family. The power struggle between Tang and Xu ultimately resulted in Tang's downfall and Xu's promotion. This shift in power led to significant changes within the surgical department, affecting the futures of Qiu, Su, and other staff members.
