[A healing, sweet romance] A brooding, battle-scarred Duke × a career-minded young physician
[A note for readers] One couple, devoted only to each other, happy ending. He’s head over heels for her, and their romance is full of sweetness. Career and love go hand in hand!
Su Tang, the daughter of a low-ranking imperial physician, is handed a hot potato: she must treat Duke Jingguo Xiao Lin’s leg. After being injured in battle, he shut himself away in his manor and became notorious for his foul temper.
Everyone laughs at her for being foolish. They say the devil of a man is impossible to deal with, and she’ll be in trouble if she can’t heal him. But Su Tang isn’t afraid. She focuses on treating his leg. Yet as she works, she realizes… Why is the way this lord looks at her getting more and more suspicious?
At first, he’s brooding and cold, keeping everyone at a distance.
Later, he climbs over the wall into her family’s home night after night, his voice so hoarse it barely sounds like his own. “Su Tang, my leg is better, but my heart is sick. Are you going to treat it?”
Su Tang backs away in alarm. “Your Grace, this illness… it’s beyond my qualifications!”
She’s single-mindedly focused on her career, opening a clinic and helping women, so busy her feet barely touch the ground. At last, she earns the rank of sixth-grade Director and can finally hold her head high.
At the victory banquet, she’s receiving congratulations when she sees the duke present an auspicious offering before the emperor and all the court officials, then declare loudly:
“I ask only that Your Majesty grant a marriage between Director Su and me.”
He turns to her, his eyes full of uncontainable affection and triumph.
“Lady Su, you healed my leg and stole my heart. This time, you can’t run away.”
It turns out all his “careful plotting” was never meant to clip her wings.
He was paving her way, building bridges for her, and personally leading her to… his side, for a lifetime of sweetness and happiness.
