Hua Wushang was the illegitimate daughter of the Grand Minister of the Imperial Stud, raised by a wet nurse. In everyone’s eyes, she was an ugly, unlearned woman. Little did they know she was Canglan, the world-renowned divine physician whom even a fortune couldn’t buy an audience with.
Xiao Beiming, the eldest son of the great general who guarded the nation, passed the imperial examinations at twelve, led troops to repel the Xiongnu at fifteen, and was made Marquis of Yonghu at eighteen. But at twenty, he was attacked and his mind was left at the level of a three-year-old.
The two were brought together by a betrothal. She told him, “Don’t be afraid. I’ll always protect you.” He smiled sweetly. “Big Sis is so nice.” Every night, she treated him with medicine and acupuncture, and his gaze grew more and more intense. Then, when she refused to treat the ruler of an enemy state and was surrounded by dozens of assassins, he pulled her close by the waist and held her tight, shielding her in his arms.
“Wifey, don’t be afraid. I’ll protect you...”
