Fans of slow-burn sweet romance with lots of classical Chinese prose, come on in.
Readers who like mindless power fantasies, proceed with caution.
If you dislike heroines with tragic backgrounds or feudal and impure male leads, this may not be for you.
There was a physician in the capital, aloof by nature, who insisted on practicing medicine in defiance of her family rules.
People said there was no one in the world she couldn't save.
Only she knew that the person she longed for had died in the Southern Frontier.
The first time Pei Xiaoning met Xie Qichen, he copied the family rules for her.
The second time, he bought her a medical text.
The third time, he had a new wound on his arm.
The fourth, fifth, and sixth times, he had a new wound every day.
Pei Xiaoning held back her anger. "Young Master Xie, are you tired of living?"
He raised an eyebrow. "Physician Pei, your skills are excellent. It would be a shame not to put them to the test."
Until one day, she heard his attendant say:
"Young Master, you could clearly have dodged that slash."
Xie Qichen rolled up his sleeve. "That girl's family rules are strict. This method may be clumsy, but..."
"Xie Qichen!"
For the first time, she raised her voice at him.
He looked at her. "Physician Pei, what perfect timing. I've been hurt again."
When trouble broke out in the Southern Frontier, he received orders to leave and pressed an embroidered cloth into her hand. "Wait until I come back, then you can treat me."
But a great fire left no bodies behind, and there was no return date for him.
She unfolded the embroidery. It read: "Peace and tranquility, year after year."
Three hundred days later, peach blossoms once again filled the capital, and the door of the clinic opened.
A man covered in old scars stood in the sunlight. "Physician Pei, are you still taking patients?"
Her face was wet with tears. "...What illness?"
" lovesickness. Can you cure it?"
