Six years ago, a marriage gone awry ended with a cold divorce decree.
Gao Yanli’s words, “I could marry anyone,” shattered Ming Zhaozhao. Heartbroken, she left with her daughter.
Six years later, she is the renowned “Divine Physician Ming” of Jiangnan, cool and composed, having cut all ties with her past.
He has become Lord Gao, a powerful official who commands the court, and now has a son who looks just like him: Mu Chen.
She thought they would never cross paths again, but the sweet little boy blushed and told her,
“Miss Zhaozhao, I fell in love with you at first sight. Will you be my mother?”
Ming Zhaozhao fled in a panic.
She could avoid her ex-husband, but not this clear-eyed little boy who was set on having her as his mother.
And she couldn’t avoid Gao Yanli, either, when he cornered her in the dark, his eyes as deep as ink.
“Ming Zhaozhao, why are you running?” He gripped her chin, his breath dangerous. “You abandoned your husband and child for six years. We should settle that score properly.”
Ming Zhaozhao sneered. “Lord Gao must have forgotten. I’m not the one who abandoned the child.”
But when Mu Chen tugged at her clothes, looked up at her, and said, “Father is sick. He coughs all night and can’t sleep,” she softened all the same.
It wasn’t until she accepted an invitation to his residence to treat him and lifted the bed curtains...
That she saw the man reclining on the couch, perfectly at ease, his phoenix eyes slightly raised. He didn’t look sick at all.
“So worried about me?” he chuckled, pulling her into his arms. “Why not treat my ‘ lovesickness’ yourself?”
If the heroine and the hero are together again and feel resentment when thinking about the hero's mother, it is best not to renew the relationship. If the hero was not very cold and arrogant before, then he will regret it.
