In the early years of Da Qi, Zornia herb became popular. This herb could cure many diseases but had toxic properties, so it was strictly controlled. Nevertheless, some lawbreakers still sold it illegally for profit. A small river flowed gently as the proud and aloof prince, Jiang Xinbai, arrived in He Man by boat. In the bustling market, wandering physician Yan Nanxing and Phantom Physician were performing drums and dances on a boat, attracting a large crowd.

Yan Nanxing announced that she and her mother were traveling to practice medicine and had invited a theater troupe for a performance, while also offering free medical consultations on the spot. Passing by on a small boat, Jiang Xinbai dismissed it as a mere trick of wandering doctors. He was there to meet Bai Laosan but couldn't find the place among the many riverside taverns. Using his keen hearing, Jiang Xinbai finally found his destination.

At that moment, Yan Nanxing cured a patient with crossed eyes on the spot and ended the free consultations. The theater performance was about to begin. The tavern was bustling with song and dance, making Jiang Xinbai, with his cold and sharp demeanor, seem out of place. When he reached Bai Laosan, Jiang Xinbai instantly put on a smile and greeted Bai Laosan and Ma Jiu.

His attendant, Yao Qianshu, quietly reminded him which one was Bai Laosan because Jiang Xinbai had face blindness. Noticing that Bai Laosan was trying to fool him with inferior goods, Jiang Xinbai's expression changed, and he was about to leave. Bai Laosan laughed heartily and asked him to taste it again. After confirming the goods were genuine, Jiang Xinbai paid him. Realizing that Bai Laosan was not a significant figure, Jiang Xinbai discussed terms with him.

As he was about to leave, he was attacked by Bai Laosan's men. In the chaotic scene, Jiang Xinbai dodged a flying dagger, which ended up killing Bai Laosan instead. Amid the commotion, Jiang Xinbai pursued the assassin and chased him all the way to Yan Nanxing's theater stage. Unaware of the situation, Yan Nanxing, determined to defend her stage, fought with Jiang Xinbai. Someone tried to mediate but was taken hostage by the assassin.

When the curtain opened again, the assassin was already dead. Deputy Li led soldiers to the scene, and Phantom Physician calmly signaled to Yan Nanxing. The soldiers suspected Yan Nanxing of using the performance as a cover for murder. Jiang Xinbai sensed that her real motive for the performance was to meet Nan Jifeng and claimed he was also involved. The situation escalated into a dispute over who should be taken away.

Deputy Li, annoyed, was about to take both of them when a soldier brought a message, causing him to change his mind and release Jiang Xinbai. Yan Nanxing was taken away but cheerfully thanked him. In the General's Mansion, Yan Nanxing was brought to General's wife, Gaya. Yan Nanxing and her mother had caused a stir in the city to get Gaya's attention, and they finally stood before her.

Gaya had scales like a snake, and rumors said she was a snake demon reincarnated. Clever Yan Nanxing spoke well, promising to treat her after the full moon. After settling in, Yan Nanxing tried to inform Phantom Physician but was stopped by guards, forcing Phantom Physician to sneak in. The two had their plan. Gaya demanded treatment within three days, but the full moon, which was in three days, marked the period of water, ensuring her death.

Phantom Physician gave her a whistle, assuring her everything would be fine with her around. Jiang Xinbai decided to not stay at an inn and instead rented a pleasure boat, refusing the company of girls. The madam agreed without question, lured by money. With no news from Nan Jifeng, Jiang Xinbai decided to visit the general personally that night. Meanwhile, Yan Nanxing was helping Gaya bathe and inquired about a secret medicine in the border tribes.

At a critical moment, Yan Nanxing blew the whistle, covered Gaya's face, and anxiously waited for Phantom Physician. When she didn't come, Yan Nanxing turned into a burly man on the spot. Gaya, horrified, tried to run, not realizing Phantom Physician was also being chased around the courtyard. On the wall, Jiang Xinbai heard the whistle and decided to meet the mother and daughter.

Remembering he had Zornia herb on his boat, Jiang Xinbai returned to change his clothes and watched from the boat's bow. Suddenly, a disheveled man with water plants on his head climbed out of the water.
