Doctor, Your Husband Is Faking His Illness!

-

Zhen Ruoyun transmigrated to ancient times in his sleep and inherited a medical clinic on the verge of closing down.

The System's cheerful voice rang in his ears.

[Welcome, Host, to the Jing Dynasty!]

[Congratulations, Host, on acquiring a medical clinic! Please begin your medical career as soon as possible!]

"..."

Zhen Ruoyun looked at the medicine cabinet packed full of herbs and felt his vision go dark.

You've got to be kidding me.

Could you Systems at least pick the right person?

He studied Western medicine!

The System said smugly, [Don't worry, Host! I'm a Western medicine System!]

The next second, a box of amoxicillin capsules appeared out of thin air before his eyes.

"?"

Zhen Ruoyun's eyes widened.

Everyone was saying that a miracle doctor had appeared in Plum Blossom Alley. No matter what ailed you, after visiting him, all your illnesses would be gone within three days.

What's more, the miracle doctor was beautiful and kindhearted, and charged just five coins for any ailment, great or small.

The only puzzling thing was that the doctor had a few unusual rules.

First, you couldn't take the medicine away.

Second, you had to close your eyes while taking it.

Anyone who broke the rules would never be treated there again.

And the doctor only treated commoners, politely turning away all nobles.

Su Yuehui had been plagued by illness for years, coughing up blood. Even the imperial physicians were helpless, and had gone so far as to declare that he wouldn't live past twenty-five.

After so many years of sickness, he was used to it. But he couldn't withstand his subordinates' repeated pleas, and for the first time, he walked into Plum Blossom Alley.

When he pushed open the clinic door, he saw the supposedly miraculous doctor poring over a copy of The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon.

The doctor furrowed his delicate brows, muttering in confusion,

"The eight extraordinary meridians? What does that mean? Are there eight meridians or twelve?"

Su Yuehui: ...

His heart gave a little jolt.

Was this person really a miracle doctor?

At their first meeting, Zhen Ruoyun took one look at Su Yuehui and immediately pronounced, "You're weak."

Su Yuehui: "..."

Zhen Ruoyun mercilessly added, "Extremely depleted."

Su Yuehui smiled faintly, not the least bit angry, and obediently nodded in agreement.

Not long afterward, a faint sob drifted through the silent night at the prince's manor.

"...Get out."

Zhen Ruoyun gritted his teeth and endured it, cursing Su Yuehui a thousand times over in his mind.

So much for being weak! The moment you get down to it, you go all out and lose yourself, and your body isn't weak anymore, is it?

The man's broad, strong body pressed against his back. A low, husky voice, thick with seduction, sounded beside his ear.

"A Yun, help me build up my strength a little more, okay?"

Zhen Ruoyun shuddered and flung a pillow at his face.

"You can't give supplements to someone who's too weak to handle them!"

Gentle, calculating top x sharp-tongued, snarky bottom

A preview of my upcoming story: When Will the Bossy Little Crab Fall for Me?

Xie Xiaoba was a hermit crab living on the beach. Through luck and cunning, he defeated the other crabs and successfully claimed a new home.

Before he could happily move in, a large hand picked up the beautiful seashell.

"Hey, look! There's such a pretty shell here!"

While Xie Xiaoba stood there stunned, this stranger made off with his new home.

!!!

The little hermit crab waved his blunt little claws, absolutely furious.

He'd always been the one stealing other crabs' shells. How dare someone steal his!

To get his new home back, the little hermit crab, who had been cultivating for years, transformed into a human overnight and sneaked into the thief's room.

He had been dating Yan Jiayan for a whole month, and eagerly waited for his boyfriend to give him the seashell as an anniversary present.

But Yan Jiayan looked troubled as he told him, "I gave that seashell to my older brother."

"...?"

It was like a bolt from the blue!

Xie Xiaoba rallied and set his sights on his boyfriend's older brother instead.

Yan Chong, the man in charge of the Yan Group.

After learning that Yan Chong liked well-behaved boys, Xie Xiaoba quickly crafted the perfect persona for himself.

During the day, he stuck close to Yan Chong, sweetly calling him "Big Brother" at every turn and never leaving his side, determined to be his darling little sweetheart.

At night, he searched Yan Chong's house from top to bottom without finding a thing, then punched and kicked the air, swearing furiously.

Damn you, Yan Chong! You big bully!

Give his seashell back!

*

Yan Chong couldn't understand why his younger brother's boyfriend insisted on sticking to him all day long.

The young man was exquisitely handsome, with bright, lively eyes and a sweet smile that made him instantly likable.

He called Yan Chong "Big Brother," just like Yan Jiayan did, and tirelessly hovered around him every day, to the point that Yan Chong's ears were practically growing calluses.

Out of a sense of responsibility as an older brother, Yan Chong made sure to look after the unreliable younger brother's boyfriend, caring for him in every possible way.

As time went by, he realized that the young man was only sweet and adorable on the surface. In truth, he was incredibly bossy.

Not only did he kick Yan Chong into the guest room on his very first night in the house, but he later ordered him around, expecting him to help with everything from getting dressed to eating.

Sometimes obedient and sweet, sometimes haughty and proud, he made Yan Chong's heart itch.

Every day, aside from handling the group's business, Yan Chong devoted all the rest of his time and energy to serving his little tyrant.

His friend watched as a corporate chairman gradually turned into the perfect, domesticated boyfriend, and tactfully reminded him, "Does your younger brother know he's about to get a sister-in-law?"

Yan Chong said nothing. The ashtray beside him was packed with cigarette butts.

He had been exceptionally gifted since childhood, a prodigy in the eyes of others. In just three years, he had taken the Yan Group to unprecedented heights, making him an undisputed winner in life.

Yet at thirty, he encountered a problem he couldn't solve.

A Little Scene

A group of friends got together, and everyone stared at the handsome young man nestled in Yan Chong's arms, teasing them nonstop.

"Where did you find such a gorgeous wife, A Chong?"

"Is your little brother even old enough? Don't let this old man take advantage of you."

Xie Xiaoba looked at them in confusion, swallowed his fruit, and explained earnestly, "No, I'm Yan Jiayan's boyfriend."

"..."

The moment the words left his mouth, the whole room fell silent.

Yan Chong, however, remained composed. He loosely wrapped his left arm around the young man's waist and gently wiped the juice from the corner of his mouth with his right hand, then asked softly, "Want some more?"
