Three years ago, Ling Yue walked into the Shen household carrying an old medicine case. Everyone said he had married above his station: an outsider who had married into a wealthy family and was good for nothing but brewing medicine. Three years later, Shen Muyan pushed a divorce agreement in front of him. Sign it and leave with nothing. Everyone waited to watch him slink out of the Shen household. The moment he stepped through the gate, three black government vehicles screeched to a stop. Their doors opened at once, and twelve people in black combat uniforms saluted as one.
"Captain Ling, the Qing Nang mission is officially over. By order of command, report back immediately." Shen Muyan watched everything from the second-floor window. Clutching the divorce certificate she had just signed, she realized for the first time that she didn't know the man who had been a "good-for-nothing" in her home for three years at all. But soon, she would have to get to know him again: her father's illness wasn't an illness, but a "mark" left by a monster that had lived for 137 years. And the only person in the world who could save her father was the ex-husband she had just divorced, whose prescription was covered on the back with words she couldn't understand. He had to come back. She had to ask him.
A man forced to return to his ex-wife's home under the guise of being her family doctor. A woman forced to see in a new light the man she had lived with for three years. The countdown to the winter solstice has begun. Bai Ze waits in the shadows to steal a new body, while the Ninth Bureau lays its net in the open. The words on the backs of prescriptions, the noodles kept warm in the kitchen late at night, the red cord tied around her wrist: every moment from those three years is a clue to the puzzle. Three years married into her family, and he hid his true self better than anyone. On the day of the divorce, he laid all his cards on the table. And he came back because some missions were over, but others weren't.
