[Woman disguised as a man + fake imperial physician + deranged tyrant + fleeing while pregnant + forced romance + mutual push and pull]
Jiang Nanxing was a seventh-rank worker at the Imperial Medical Academy, disguised as a man. Her greatest wish was to make it to retirement and return to her hometown to buy farmland.
When the tyrant Yan Chenyuan's cold poison flared up, she accidentally became his antidote. After one wild night, she left behind a copper coin and an antidote pill before slipping away.
She thought no one would ever find out. She drank anti-pregnancy soup every day, but the herbs had been adulterated by a shady merchant and didn't work!
As her belly grew, Jiang Nanxing packed her things and prepared to "fake her death and escape."
The coffin had only just been carried to the city gate when the Black Armor Guards sealed off the city. The tyrant, eyes bloodshot, kicked the coffin lid over.
"Physician Jiang, you stole my child, and now you want to fake your death and live happily ever after with someone else?!"
Jiang Nanxing trembled with fear. "Your Majesty, please see reason. I'm a man. This belly is just indigestion!"
The tyrant pinned her to the dragon throne on the spot and sneered through clenched teeth. "Indigestion? Then let me feel just how many months you've been backed up!"
