Divine Doctor Mother: The Crown Prince’s Father Comes Knocking

Wen Yinyue, a modern martial arts expert and intelligence operative, awakens in the body of a noblewoman in the Great Sheng Dynasty after a fatal explosion in her previous life. The original owner, the legitimate daughter of the An Yuan Hou Mansion, was betrayed by her stepmother Lady Liu and half-sister Wen Wanru. Drugged with a deadly poison called Qian Ji Yin to ruin her reputation before a forced marriage to the crown prince, the original Wen Yinyue fled into the forest. In her drugged state, she encountered a mysterious dark-robed man bearing a jade pendant engraved with the character "Yuan." After a brief, desperate encounter, she stole his pendant as compensation and fled, only to be cornered at a cliff edge and pushed to her death by Lady Liu's servants. Wen Yinyue inherits not only the body but also a one-month pregnancy and the lingering poison, vowing to survive and exact revenge.

Surviving the fall into a cave at the cliff base, Wen Yinyue uses her knowledge of traditional medicine and martial arts to stabilize her condition. She discovers the poison is in symbiosis with the fetus, making direct detoxification lethal. Choosing a path of slow suppression, she cultivates the Nine Heavens Mystical Spirit Art to strengthen her meridians and protect the child. After weeks of hardship, including a near-fatal encounter with a wild bear, she follows an injured deer to a hidden valley behind a waterfall. This secluded paradise contains a natural hot spring and rare medicinal herbs, including Ice Skin Grass and Blood Ginseng, which are crucial for her recovery and the fetus's health. She establishes a wooden cabin, begins farming, and fortifies the valley with traps, laying the foundation for a new life away from the political intrigues of the capital.

During the winter of the following year, Wen Yinyue goes into premature labor amidst a blizzard. She has secretly recruited a midwife from a nearby village, using a memory-altering herb to ensure the midwife cannot reveal the valley's location. She delivers twin children, a son named Wen Junye and a daughter named Wen Lingxi. The daughter is born weak and blue, but Wen Yinyue saves her using acupuncture and Blood Ginseng infusion. With the midwife's memory wiped, she sends her away, securing the valley as a safe haven for her growing family. Over the next year, Wen Yinyue raises her children while continuing her martial training, eventually breaking through to the second level of her cultivation technique. She also begins planning the establishment of a secret organization to protect herself and aid those wronged by society.

In the summer of the second year, Wen Yinyue leaves the valley in disguise to trade herbs for supplies. On the mountain path, she witnesses a teenage boy, Lin Feng, being beaten by assassins. Lin Feng is the sole survivor of the Zhenyuan Escort Agency, which was destroyed by a corrupt steward named Zhang Biao who framed his father for embezzlement and murder. Recognizing Lin Feng's resilience and shared desire for justice, Wen Yinyue intervenes using poisoned needles to disable his attackers. She rescues the wounded boy and brings him to her hidden valley. After healing him, she offers him a place in her growing organization, proposing the formation of Xiaoyao Pavilion, an organization dedicated to protecting the innocent and seeking revenge against the corrupt. Lin Feng accepts, becoming the first core member and leader of the Shadow Branch.

As Xiaoyao Pavilion expands, Wen Yinyue recruits other marginalized individuals, including skilled martial artists and herbalists who have been wronged by society. The organization is divided into two branches: the Shadow Branch, led by Lin Feng, handles combat and intelligence, while the Salvation Branch, led by Wen Yinyue, focuses on medical aid and herb cultivation. The members swear oaths of loyalty and mutual protection, forming a tight-knit family. Wen Yinyue continues to raise her children, Junye and Lingxi, teaching them martial arts and medicine from a young age. The story concludes with the pavilion fully established, its members training in the valley, and Wen Yinyue looking toward the future with the resolve to dismantle the forces that destroyed her original family and to build a new power base that can challenge the corrupt establishment of the Great Sheng Dynasty.
