Immersed in Chaos

What's the most basic requirement for being a traveling doctor?

Answer: Cut off those tangled ties that refuse to break!

But neither of them can have things their way.

Zuo Xucheng, the newly crowned ruler of the Great Yan Dynasty, bears responsibility for the whole realm. Yet for someone's sake, he conceals his identity and enters the martial world, risking life and limb amid bloodshed, willing to sacrifice both life and honor for that person.

"I don't want your gratitude. I only want you to answer one question: will you come with me?"

Mu Qingran, the unorthodox ghost doctor who wanders the martial world, lives by his own rules and has always come and gone as he pleases, bound by nothing. Yet for someone's sake, his heart is troubled and full of concern.

"I was born among the common folk and raised among them. I've long been used to coming and going freely, without restraint. The palace is too deep. Even setting aside the fact that I'm a man and cannot be empress, even if I weren't a man, I could never spend my life in that gilded cage. So I can't go with you."

One wants to leave, the other wants to stay. In the end, who will be hurt by all this coming and going?

The road through the martial world is long, with no end in sight. The waters are deep and unfathomable, with no bottom in view. When will this pursuit and flight finally end? Or is there no end to it at all?

Entangled in the threads of passion, time dances through the years. We loved, hated, and hurt, while the sand slipped through our fingers. We longed for what we could never have.

Beneath the bright moon, we gaze at each other from opposite ends of the world. We loved, suffered, and regretted, while time rushed on, never to return. One lets go, and the other is let go.
