My Archrival Is My Patient

[Rivals-to-lovers couple, one-on-one, both virgins, powerful leads, happy ending]

[Cool and haughty "big cat" Water God × uninhibited, flamboyant "stray dog" Fire God]

Qing Huan just loves watching the drama unfold. To laugh at her nemesis, she goes out of her way to spring him from prison.

But karma comes fast. Just as she's gloating, something suddenly feels wrong with her heart.

She's diagnosed with a "heart condition," a strange illness that has plagued her nemesis for ages and now dragged her down with him.

What's even more frustrating is that her spiritual power runs wild every full moon, and the only way to ease it is to stay close to him.

Mu Chao leans in beside her ear, his voice teasing and suggestive. "The two of us are inseparable, aren't we?"

This inescapable bond leaves her, usually so proud and haughty, unable to even scold him.

Once bitter enemies who couldn't stand each other, they become "fellow patients" suffering from the same illness.

The illness is real, and so is the need to go to work!

They keep working through their illness, purifying foul qi and breaking through resentful domains, all while searching for a cure. Then the Heavenly Book reveals that they have hearts of stone.

Tenderness warms their sleeping stone hearts, giving them flesh and blood. The stray dog has long since put away his fangs and become her loyal dog alone.

The "illness" is cured, but the price of healing is irreversible. Their divine powers vanish, leaving the gods who once ruled the Three Realms no different from mortals. And at that very moment, they catch a glimpse of the truth behind their fate.
