After Our Substitute Marriage, the Sickly Tycoon Clings to Me Night After Night to Keep Him Alive

[Period Romance + Beautiful Miracle Doctor VS Sickly, Scheming Tycoon + Marriage First, Love Later]

Su Wanning, a master of traditional Chinese medicine, wakes up in the body of a pitiful young woman in the 1970s.

When her stepsister flees from her wedding, Su Wanning is forced to take her place and marry the “national treasure” at a state research institute, a tycoon rumored to be on the verge of dying. The marriage is supposed to bring him good fortune.

Everyone expects her to spend the rest of her life as a lonely widow, living off his compensation money.

But Su Wanning discovers that this tycoon, who supposedly gasps for breath after every few steps, has a clearly defined six-pack and a gaze wilder than a wolf’s.

A marriage to bring good fortune? Perfect. She’ll cure him, get him to write her a divorce letter, and then go build her career!

Gu Chengan is a genius engineer working for the state. To evade assassins, he has spent years pretending to be a sickly man with little time left to live.

On their wedding night, he plans to scare off the bride who has been foisted on him, only for her to stick a needle into one of his vital pressure points. She gives him a knowing smile. “Stop pretending. Your kidney energy is stronger than anyone’s.”

From then on, he can’t get enough of the beautiful woman who sees right through him and can even soothe his “old ailment.”

By day, he coughs up three pints of blood. “Wife, my chest hurts. Only a kiss will make it better.”

By night, he pulls her into his arms. “Wife, give me acupuncture to keep me alive. Make sure you hit the right spots.”

Su Wanning: We agreed we’d get divorced once you were cured. How did I end up getting roped into this too?
