[The prequel, "What Use Do I Have for a Secret Identity?", is now available to add to your collection!]

As a miracle doctor, Chi Xi is nowhere to be found in the martial world, yet tales of him are everywhere.

The most convincing rumor is that his ex-husband, Liu Yunche, abandoned his husband and child for power. By the time he wanted to make amends, it was too late. He had broken Chi Xi's heart, driving him into retirement from the martial world, without even taking his disciple with him.

Six years into retirement, the rumor is still going strong. Even Chi Xi is surprised.

He spends his days treating headaches and fevers for the villagers in a remote mountain village, enjoying a peaceful life.

Unfortunately, things don't go as planned. A child rolls down the mountain. Whose child could it be? Chi Xi takes a closer look. His.

Now that the child has tracked him down, surely his ex-husband can't be far behind. Chi Xi immediately packs his things and prepares to flee.

But it's too late. His ex-husband stands at the door in the pouring rain. "Where are you going this time?"

Chi Xi gives an awkward smile. "I... I'm going to gather herbs..."

In recent years, strange cases have been cropping up all over the martial world. Liu Yunche is busy investigating them, looking after their child, and searching for Chi Xi's whereabouts all at once.

But all the clues point to the same person behind these cases: Chi Xi, who retired from the martial world.

As luck would have it, the child runs off to look for his teacher, so Liu Yunche takes the opportunity to search for Chi Xi.

So, standing at the door in the rain, Liu Yunche puts on a pitiful act:

"You still won't let me in? Doctor Chi, you have such a cruel heart..."
