Cheng Yong is a businessman struggling to keep his Indian aphrodisiac shop afloat. By chance, he meets a leukemia patient. Driven by the potential for huge profits, he risks smuggling a low-cost generic anticancer drug from India into China, becoming a "Drug God" in the eyes of the patients. Through his deepening interactions with them, he witnesses their pain and struggles, which deeply moves him. The initially profit-driven man gradually transforms, ultimately redeeming himself through selfless actions.
