share time: 2026-01-12 00:30:50

Gu Tingchuan, the "War God" who guarded the border for a decade, abandons his role as Lord of the Dragon Temple and hurries home overnight upon learning his daughter Xiaotang is in the final stage of leukemia. However, he is met with coldness from his former lover Su Wantang—years ago, he left without a word for a secret border mission and was misunderstood as a traitor. Fearing his identity would endanger his family, Gu disguises himself as "Uncle Gu," a neighbor, to secretly protect them: fixing roofs, boiling tonic soup, and dealing with hooligans. But soon, he discovers Xiaotang's medicine is poisoned and Su's store is vandalized—their old enemy, who framed his departure, is out to eliminate them. Gu gathers evidence as an ordinary person while seeking a chance to explain. When the enemy surrounds the hospital to kidnap Xiaotang, Gu finally reveals his identity as the Dragon Temple Lord, subdues the villain, and presents the mission letter to prove his innocence. Su forgives him with tears, Xiaotang's condition improves, and the enemy is brought to justice. In the end, the family cherishes the beauty of ordinary life.
