Synopsis and Plot Summary
Li Lianhua and his nemesis Di Feisheng who no longer cared for worldly affairs become inspired by the young and idealistic Fang Duobing as they join hands in solving mysterious cases to uphold justice.
Ten years ago, Li Xiangyi, the master of Sigu Sect, dominated with his superior swordsmanship and was a symbol of light in the martial arts world. However, he suddenly disappeared along with Di Feisheng (Xiao Shunyao), the leader of the Jinyuan Alliance, after they arranged to battle in the East Sea.
Ten years later, Li Lianhua (Cheng Yi) is a countryside doctor on his travels while dragging around a lotus tower. He accidentally becomes "famous" and gets pulled into the pugilistic world that he no longer wanted to have any connections with. Fang Duobing (Zeng Shunxi), a passionate youth who dreams of becoming a hero, realizes that Li Lianhua is not a simple man and vows to find proof that Li Lianhua has been impersonating a famous doctor.
Meanwhile, Di Feisheng, who has always regarded Li Xiangyi as a fierce enemy, has also reemerged in the pugilistic world. Upon recognizing that the unremarkable doctor Li Lianhua is none other than Li Xiangyi, he was never going to let things go. After a series of cases, the three gradually come to forge a deep friendship.
