[Lame War God x Incognito Miracle Physician | Two Powerful Leads, Each Pursuing the Other | Satisfying Secret-Identity Story]
Xiao Jingyuan is a battle-hardened general who guards the north, yet the court mocks him as a "crippled general" because he has a limp.
Then, one stormy night, he brings home a cool, aloof female physician.
Her uncanny acupuncture can soothe the pain gnawing at his bones; her brilliant moves at the chessboard can break through his desperate predicament.
He thinks he's picked up trouble, unaware that she is the former Grand Tutor's daughter, whose entire family was falsely accused seven years ago and who has been living under an assumed name ever since.
He also doesn't know that the golden needles hidden in her wooden hairpin can save lives as easily as they can take them.
Later...
At court, she spins her hairpin and reveals its needles before everyone, clearing her father's name. "These needles have saved 317 people. Today, I'm willing to put them to the test!"
In the palace, holding her young son in her arms, she faces the Empress Dowager. "The greatest filial duty is to safeguard the peace of the realm, not to indulge one person's selfish desires."
On the northern frontier's city wall, he embraces her. His limp is gone, and his voice rings across the land. "My wife, Qingyan, is the finest strategist I could ever have, and the brightest star in this entire realm."
