Main characters: Nangong Li, Xiao Jue
She spent her dowry supporting the prince's estate and used her peerless medical skills to save his life. Yet when he rose to success, he used his military achievements to ask for a second wife before the emperor!
Xiao Jue sneered, "Nangong Li, what can you do besides fiddle with weeds and dead branches? You'll never measure up to Rouyue, who can fight alongside me!"
Nangong Li tossed down a divorce letter and a miraculous pill that had cured his old ailment. "Your Highness, there's no cure for blindness of the eyes and heart. I will no longer be the Princess Consort of Jing!"
That night, a great fire burned away the past. She vanished without a trace. When she returned, she was the Divine Physician Liuli, whose golden needles could save the world and whose hands could bring the dead back to life.
Those who once scorned her now begged her to work her miraculous cures. And her former husband, gravely wounded and near death, also needed a golden needle from her fingertips to keep him alive.
Xiao Jue pursued her in regret. "Li'er, come back to the estate with me!"
She twirled a golden needle and smiled. "Go back? All right. Get on your knees and beg me. Show me how sincere you are."
