(Medicine + Xuanhuan + Everyone’s Favorite)
The Great Yin dynasty is a place of shifting fortunes and hidden currents, with rival forces stirring beneath the surface. Shang Jiuzhuo, a physician from the Shang family, is the family’s beloved darling and has grown up protected by her father and brothers. Clever and perceptive, she has medical skills so refined she can bring the dying back to life, and martial arts that rival any man’s. Xiao Jinhan of the Prince of Jin’s household, meanwhile, is aloof and proud, a formidable martial artist and a fearsome presence at court. The cold gleam of the sword in his residence has intimidated countless people with ill intentions.
An imperial decree arranging their marriage binds together two people who seem to have nothing in common. At first, they are wary of each other and constantly at odds. Looking at the clever, lively Shang Jiuzhuo before him, Xiao Jinhan raises an eyebrow. “I hear Miss Shang’s medical skills are unrivaled. Can you cure my ‘lack of human warmth’?” Shang Jiuzhuo smiles brightly as her silver needles dance between her fingers. “Your Highness’s illness will probably take a lifetime to cure.” As they grow closer, they go from testing one another to standing together amid a world of political intrigue. They uncover the many conspiracies behind the court and, over the years, write a legendary love story in which the cold embers meet a blazing light and love quietly takes root.
