[Transmigration + devoted-to-each-other romance + a desperate campaign to win her back + chase-and-escape]
After transmigrating as an orphaned girl, I rescued a badly wounded man covered in blood.
When he woke, he called himself Feng Yunhai. He stayed at my house to recuperate, eating my food, getting his wounds dressed, and flirting with me along the way.
I almost fell for him, until his other identity was revealed: Mo Yucheng, Duke Zhenguo, who commanded two hundred thousand troops and had already been promised in marriage to a princess.
“The man marrying the princess is Duke Zhenguo. The one who wants to marry you is the heir of Phoenix Island.” He tried to exploit a loophole.
I, Bai Yuting, am a twenty-first-century surgeon. After transmigrating, I treated the sick and injured for a fee, earning the title of Madam Mingyue. I made soap, took over a brothel and turned it into an entertainment hall, and thrived while passing myself off as a man.
I have money and talent, so why should I share a husband with anyone?
“One person for a lifetime. I won't settle for anything less.” I refused without hesitation.
Several months later, in the dead of night, he was poisoned again and knocked miserably on my door. After taking his pulse, I stood up. “I can't cure this poison. Go find your princess fiancée.”
He clutched my wrist, his voice hoarse. “If I go to someone else, will I still have a chance to marry you?”
“No.”
But he still refused to let go. The imperial court, conspiracies, the truth about his late father and brothers... With no way to escape the arranged marriage, and the princess willing to marry into the Duke's household even without a husband, he would eventually have to choose between his two identities.
