A tragic ending.
They will never meet again, in life or death.
He was never her salvation. After she broke free and spread her wings, he was the one hell she could not escape.
She is Su Yi, a neglected concubine-born daughter of the Marquis An’s household. Though blessed with peerless medical skill, her family treats her as a substitute and pawn because her face resembles her legitimate elder sister’s. And before the man she has secretly loved for five years, Pei Jin, the Prince of Zhenbei, she is publicly humiliated for trying to imitate her sister.
When her dream shatters, she resolutely cuts off her feelings and sets up on her own with her miraculous medical skills, earning fame throughout the capital and the title of “Medicine Immortal.”
But palace rivalries, border warfare, and her family’s schemes soon follow one after another, sweeping her into the vortex of fate.
She and the man who once disdained her are forced to join forces against the enemy amid the flames of war in the northern frontier.
Through their life-and-death struggles, he comes to see her one-of-a-kind soul.
When the meekness of unrequited love becomes the strength to stand side by side, and the illusion of being a substitute is pierced by her true brilliance...
He tells her he loves her, and she is overjoyed, believing that her five-year crush has finally found its happy ending.
But she never imagined...
He could tell her he loved her, then share a passionate romance with her sister, Su Wanyin, and have two children with her in four years.
