Three years ago, Xiao Ce guarded the border as the revered Marshal Xiao, protector of the nation.
Three years later, he put away his armor and returned home, pretending to be a down-and-out live-in son-in-law. All he wanted was a quiet life with his wife, Su Wanqing.
But his snobbish mother-in-law smashed the thousand-year-old ginseng he brought in front of everyone, while a wealthy rival humiliated him at every turn and pressured his wife to marry someone else.
The city's powerful figures bow to him in reverence. A rich family's only son is near death, while his enemies kneel and beg him for treatment, offering millions.
The city's powerful men are all former subordinates of his, and the father and son of the Zhao family come to kowtow and beg forgiveness.
When a virus runs rampant, he saves lives with his medical skills. When foreign enemies invade, he dons his armor and goes to war.
An army convoy pulls up at his door, and his shocking identity as the nation's guardian war god is exposed. Everyone who once bullied him is consumed by regret.
After the war, he retires at the height of his success, opens a clinic, holds a wedding of the century, and spreads the legacy of Chinese medicine around the world.
If the nation is ever in danger, Marshal Long will take up arms and fight on every front once again!
