Ling Xiang, an apothecary in Guyang City, cultivates the Dao of elixirs to mend her damaged spiritual roots. While searching for rare herbs, she saves someone with a single pill—only to be targeted by villains. The disciple she’s forced to pick up along the way is strangely connected to her past. As she outwits her pursuers, long-buried truths surface, and the love-hate entanglements of the older generation help Ling Xiang finally understand her mother’s painstaking sacrifices.
Ensemble cast / 85% plot, 15% romance. When a quirky, quick-witted woman meets a proud, devoted "loyal dog," the latter insists on clinging to her. Before she knows it, the young apothecary has become someone’s master—yet the shameless disciple wants to call her "mother"!
"Who told you I’m your master!""But I don’t want you as my master…""Don’t tell me you want to call me mother?! That’s not appropriate!""…I want you to be my wife.""Hah! So you really do want me as your—wait, what?"
Glazed tiles, white walls, a swing on the porch—under the pear-blossom tree, just you and me. No torturous love spanning lifetimes, noworld-shaking immortal sovereigns, no love-obsessed heroine. A mutual journey of devotion, unwavering unto death.
