The Last Healer in Forbidden City (2016)

In the final years of the Qing dynasty, the gifted physician To Chung is appointed Imperial Palace Physician after curing Empress Dowager Chee Hei. He grows close to the Gwong-seoi Emperor, who is confined to the Forbidden City and stripped of authority after provoking the Dowager by losing the First Sino-Japanese War and defying her rule. To Chung treats the emperor’s illness and aids his bond with Consort Tsan. Yet despite his skill, he cannot cure his crippled wife Hung Bak-hap. Desperate, he turns to bone-setter Fuk Ling, whose treatments ease Bak-hap’s pain. Impressed, To Chung recommends her to the Forbidden City as the Dowager’s personal bone-setter. Their friendship turns romantic, but loyalty to his wife holds him back. Fuk Ling, however, has a hidden agenda: she has been sent to kill the Gwong-seoi Emperor.
