[GB] Keeping a White Moonlight Caged

[Two powerful leads + one-on-one romance + female-led relationship + love and hate + possessive romance] [Scheming, ambitious woman who seems sweet but is secretly ruthless x gentle, patient, blind doctor] [The heroine is a true villain, with no redemption arc]

A young doctor arrived in Lingyun Town. He was handsome as white jade, but unfortunately, he was blind.

As the saying goes, the blind are easy targets. One day, the local bully showed up with his daughter and demanded that the doctor become their live-in son-in-law. If he refused, he could get lost.

While he was figuring out how to run away, a fishmonger pushed through the crowd and tossed a silver coin on the ground. “This man is mine. Who's going to try and take him?”

Jiang Qiyue caught a whiff of fish and wondered: Who is this?

The fishmonger was called Shang Xiaoyu. She had a carefree smile and could lie without batting an eye. She said she was a spy for the Tianji Tower and needed a fake marriage as cover. Then she added that, as luck would have it, he also needed a shield to deal with the local bully.

They hit it off at once and took up their roles as a fake married couple.

He brewed medicine, she cleaned fish, and the kitchen filled with a heady mix of medicinal herbs and fish. He thought she was too loud; she thought he was fussy. She loved teasing him, and he blushed with anger. Their days were a chaotic mess.

What he didn't know was that the massacre at Medicine King Valley four years ago had been orchestrated by the very woman standing before him.

She told his younger sister stories until the little girl called her “Big Sister.” She stood up to the local bully for him, fierce as a tigress protecting her cubs. In the middle of the night, she dragged him up to the roof to drink and said, “Why don't we just make the best of this and stay together?”

Jiang Qiyue thought that although the girl's origins were a mystery, she wasn't all that bad.

Until the day he touched his sister's icy wrist and found no pulse.

Shang Xiaoyu stood in the doorway, smiling.

“Last remnant of Medicine King Valley,” she said, looking at him lightly. “You're the only one left.”
