The Crippled Prince’s Physician Consort

She is the ugly, unwanted daughter of a general's household. He is a prince from another country whose life has been full of misfortune. She is a modern medical prodigy. He is a regent with a Gu parasite in his body and paralyzed legs. He promises her a lifetime with only one partner; she promises to share both joy and sorrow and walk by his side. He says he will never leave her; she says they will live and die together. When they first meet, he is in a wretched state, and she has only just arrived. When they meet again, he helps her escape danger, then returns to his own country. The next time they meet, he is the regent of another country, sent to help the young emperor find the “Empress Dowager.” The Minister of Rites looks at the state letter in his hands. It was written by Xuan Yuan Beichen, regent of Dongli. In essence, it says that Xuan Yuan Che, ruler of Dongli, once visited Tianqi and ran into danger. Ziyun of the Mo family risked her life to save him. Later, when the Emperor of Dongli fell gravely ill, Xuan Yuan Che had no choice but to return home. Before leaving, in gratitude for Ziyun's kindness, he honored her as his birth mother. Now he has written to invite Ziyun to Dongli, where she will take the title of Empress Dowager. Whenever Ziyun recalls the moments she shared with Xuan Yuan Beichen, she is always grateful to Heaven for bringing him into her life. Even with her lonely fate, she found someone who loves her, a warm home, and a group of adorable children. She hopes they will stay by each other's side for the rest of their lives. Xuan Yuan Beichen gazes tenderly at the radiant woman in his arms. He, too, is grateful to Heaven for bringing Ziyun to him. He hopes that for the rest of their lives, they will stand by each other through life and death.
