[A proud poison master bearing a blood feud × a devoted physician who heals the world]
Yin Qian had been hiding among mortals for nearly a thousand years.
On the night she killed an evil god, a reckless physician intercepted her divine blood.
He was gravely wounded and on the verge of death. When he awoke and saw her, the first words out of his mouth were:
“Wife, it hurts.”
She balled her fist and punched him. “I'm not your wife!”
He covered his eyes and stood up without dodging. “Wife, don't be angry.”
From then on, she had a tail following her everywhere.
She tried poison and blades. Even when he was covered in wounds, he never fought back. The first thing he said whenever he saw her was still, “Wife, it's time for your medicine.”
She treated him as a vessel for nourishing her blood.
Until she cut open his chest to draw blood and saw old wounds layered beneath new ones.
Every cut had been made for her.
He had been using his blood to make medicine for her where she couldn't see.
She gave him her blood to save him, and her heart trembled all night.
He asked, “Wife, do you like A Mu?”
She was silent for a long time.
Just as he thought he would never get an answer, she said, “...I do.”
Then she sent him away while he was unconscious.
Later, she took charge of the Xichen Office again. As she investigated the truth behind her family's massacre, she was repeatedly caught in deadly traps.
Yet he always found her by following the scent of blood, appearing in the moonlight with a bowl of bitter medicine in his hands.
He said, “Director Yin, the calamity of resentment hasn't been quelled. We still need to work together.”
Only then did she remember that the man who had approached her at the succession ceremony was now the young master of the Xuan family.
Later, when she was betrayed by her own kin and drenched in blood at the sacred grounds, he stumbled through the flames toward her.
Unable to see or hear, and covered in blood, he still held her protectively in his arms.
He said
“Don't be afraid, wife. A Mu is here.”
Before she closed her eyes, she thought:
If I can live, I want to go back to that little courtyard in the mortal realm.
Raise fish, grow flowers, and be an ordinary shopkeeper.
With A Mu.
