Ji Ping is a minor but memorable character in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, where his role as an imperial physician is intertwined with a failed conspiracy to overthrow Cao Cao. In the novel, Ji Ping becomes involved in a secret plot masterminded by Dong Cheng, Liu Bei, and others. The group conspires to assassinate Cao Cao.
Ji Ping plays a crucial role in the plot due to his position as Cao Cao's personal physician. Cao Cao, suffering from chronic headaches, regularly relies on Ji Ping for treatment. Using this access, Ji Ping plans to poison Cao Cao's medicine. The plan unravels when Dong Cheng's servant, Qin Qingtong, betrays them, reporting the conspiracy to Cao Cao.
When Ji Ping arrives to administer the poisoned medicine, he is arrested. Under brutal torture, Ji Ping refuses to confess, but the betrayal and evidence against him ultimately lead to the exposure of the entire plot. Ji Ping's unyielding loyalty to the cause is underscored by his refusal to implicate others, even as he faces unbearable pain. Despite his resilience, the conspiracy collapses. Dong Cheng, Ji Ping, and their co-conspirators are executed alongside their families, and the assassination attempt becomes another example of Cao Cao's ruthless suppression of dissent.
Ji Ping’s abilities in Sanguosha reflect his dual role as both a healer and a would-be assassin. "Poisoning" symbolizes his attempt to discreetly use his position as a doctor to eliminate Cao Cao, while "Cure" highlights his skill in medicine. "Refined Medicine" mirrors his resilience under torture, representing his steadfast determination even in the face of overwhelming odds.
