My Journey to You: Still Orchids, Distant Angelica

[The heroine is a local, with no omniscient point of view, no omniscient point of view! (The author doesn't have one either.) I'll do my best to make up for regrets, won't break up the original couples, and I love happy endings. Everyone gets a wonderful ending.]

[Content warning: I haven't studied medicine, so everything is just for the sake of the characters. If you spot an error, please point it out, but don't insult the author. I'm begging you.]

Yu Zhiyuan, the current young valley master of Medicine King Valley, is brilliant and a medical prodigy rarely seen in a century. Sadly, fate is cruel: she was born with a cold poison gathered around her heart, and has little time left to live.

The method for removing the poison was lost during a great battle a hundred years ago, along with one of the essential ingredients. The people of the valley exhausted every means of making an antidote and searched every medical text they had, finally determining that the missing ingredient was a lotus flower.

The people of the valley secretly ventured out to search far and wide. They tried several remedies, but none could remove the poison; instead, each attempt damaged their health.

They heard that a palace in the modern-day martial world had once grown a Chuyun Chonglian, a rare lotus that could strengthen martial artists, bring the sick back from the dead, and cure every poison.

The Gongmen's rules were strict. To keep the valley's disciples out of trouble, Yu Zhiyuan went herself, entering the Gongmen as a candidate bride for its young master.

She never expected to meet someone here who shared her ideals and was exactly to her taste: a little... peacock?

The more time she spent with him, the more she realized how little he had, and how tightly he clung to what he did have... Her heart ached for him.

With Wufeng looming and chaos inside the Gongmen, what can she do to protect that little peacock during the time she has left?

(Everyone lives, except the ones who deserve to die. Everyone lives!)
