In her past life, Jiang Mingxi was the only female imperial physician in the palace, yet her gambling-addict father, leech of a mother, and worthless younger brother wrung every last bit of life out of her!
Reborn at twenty-five, on the day she leaves the palace, she coldly rejects a marriage proposal!
Some young master from the Feng Tian Prefecture? Get lost! I’m done serving you!
She resigns with a flourish and heads straight to the Earl of Jin’an’s residence in Jiangdu to apply for a position as a governess.
But the unruly fourth young lady becomes her devoted little admirer, following her lead in everything;
the household’s decisive mistress comes to her courtyard every day to ask for advice on cooking, tea snacks, and transplanting flowers;
even the residence’s icy second young master wheels himself around searching for her!
Jiang Mingxi: Wasn’t I supposed to enjoy a peaceful retirement? How did I accidentally become famous across the land?
She plans to see the young lady married, then retire in triumph, but the second young master in the wheelchair keeps getting in her way.
By flickering candlelight in the dead of night, her fingertips, fragrant with medicine, brush over his useless legs.
“Don’t touch me!” His voice is hoarse and restrained, but his body honestly makes no move to pull away.
She leans close to his ear and laughs softly. “Second Young Master, you say you don’t want me, but your body… is certainly telling the truth.”
As his wheelchair rolls over the bluestone path, Qi Junyan’s gaze turns dark. This audacious woman has provoked him, and now she can forget about escaping! He will keep her locked firmly in the palm of his hand!
