After a Hundred Lashings from the Prince Regent, the Young Physician Escaped

[One-on-one romance + mutual devotion + groveling pursuit + possessive love + woman disguised as a man]

[Clear-headed heroine with a healer’s compassion VS cold, brutal, unscrupulous hero]

The North Luan Kingdom had ruled the land for ages, but it was wiped out overnight. Corpses littered the ground, and the blood would not dry.

A new dynasty rose in its place: the Li Kingdom.

*

Rumors persist among the people that the beloved little princess of North Luan escaped, but no one knows where she is to this day.

There are also rumors that, deep in an alley off Yuanfang Street, lives a brilliant physician from Qingshan Temple, gentle and courteous, with the power to bring the dead back to life and restore flesh to bare bones.

The first time they met, he was badly wounded, and she meant to treat him.

But when she saw the Buddhist prayer beads on his wrist, engraved with the character “Yuan,” she decided to let him die.

When they met again, she pretended to be an apprentice to sneak past him. But he recognized her as the person who had left him to die, so he resorted to all manner of schemes, taking her back to the capital and giving her twenty lashes along the way.

Later, forced to help suppress his parasitic poison, she became his personal physician.

“You want to use the medicine I made as bait to kill someone?!”

The man seated on the high platform looked grim, his eyes full of warning. “Insolence! Who taught you to speak to me like that?”

So he gave her another thirty lashes.

Later, when he discovered she was a woman, she had no choice but to flee.

She was caught and brought back, then given forty more lashes.

But without her realizing it, he actually proposed taking her as a concubine?!

She refused and fought back with all her might, enraging him once again and earning another ten lashes.

Honestly, a man might put up with that, but no woman could!
