The Hidden Doctor's Tale

The Su family’s daughter, famed for using medicine to help the world, suddenly finds herself a destitute doctor saddled with younger siblings to raise. Her left hand must treat a deadly poison from the Western Regions, her right must settle a scandal at the academy, and in her arms is a little snowball of a child gazing up at her and begging for candy. Su Yunluo looks at the thatched eaves leaking rain and sneers: This game is such a mess it could breed poison, yet someone just has to come and make a move on her board. “Miss, you have such a gifted and benevolent hand. Why not treat me as well?” The severely wounded young noble leans against the medicine cabinet, his jade-handled fan playfully brushing the stray hair at her temple. Only later does she learn that this beautiful snake who came slithering right to her door is none other than the Prince of Zhenbei, the man stirring up the imperial court. Years later, the people of Qingzhou still love to talk about how the Su family’s third son came top in the imperial examinations, the fourth won glory on the battlefield, and the fifth daughter became the wealthiest woman south of the Yangtze. The only one whose escape route was blocked by a procession of bridal gifts stretching ten miles was Doctor Su, who always said, “Once I’ve raised my younger siblings, I’m retiring to seclusion.” “You called me delusional back then?” Red candles glimmer against the golden python embroidered on someone’s robe. “Your Highness, why not examine me yourself and see how deeply this lovesickness has taken root?”
