Cui Tang (Cui Wanhe) x Xie Zhan (Xie Yaoyun)
Cool, gentle, sharp-tongued physician gong x sincere, dependable young general shou
•Blurb•
In the thirteenth year of Jian'an, the emperor fell gravely ill, and the struggle for the throne between the fourth and seventh princes threw the court into turmoil.
To save his father, the deposed crown prince Xiao Yong pinned his hopes on a divine physician from Sangshui.
The Su physician was renowned far and wide.
But no one knew her true identity: she was a descendant of the Cui clan, whose main branch had been unjustly wiped out thirteen years ago.
Wanhe rolled a handkerchief between her fingers, sipping hot tea as she listened to Xie Yaoyun's voice outside the courtyard.
The most favored young general of the Xie family was kneeling on the frozen gravel path, calling again and again, "Please come out of seclusion, Divine Physician, and save the empire from collapse!"
He knelt there for two days and two nights.
Until even his battle-hardened body could no longer withstand the relentless snow, and on the verge of collapse, in his final moments of consciousness...
He saw a woman as lovely as a painting, dressed in plain white and holding an umbrella, walking toward him through the snow.
A few things to note:
1. The gong spends most of the story dressed as a woman. He takes medicine to suppress his masculine appearance and voice.
2. Everything is set up to serve the story. If anything makes you uncomfortable, please stop reading.
Theme: Having you by my side through all the twists and turns of life.
