Synopsis
[An innocent, resilient, revenge-seeking trumpet vine × a sensitive, stubborn, jealous wolf-dog of a young lord]
Less than a month after Princess Zhaole was buried, someone dug up her grave. When she awoke again, not reborn, she had turned into a trumpet vine and acquired a mastery of medicine.
She thought she would live freely among the mountains and rivers from then on. Unexpectedly, by a twist of fate, she entered the palace and became a female physician.
Life in the palace is never easy: the princess is domineering, the commandery princess picks fights, and even the empress is no pushover.
"Oh, heavens~"
On her first trip down the mountain, Lingxiao saved the badly wounded heir to the Prince of Chu, only to nearly be stabbed to death by him.
From then on, they were at odds.
On the Lantern Festival, the young lord invited her out wearing a fox mask.
Before they left, Lingxiao asked him why, but he didn't answer.
All right, Lingxiao decided to keep these feelings to herself.
Later, one day, the young lord got drunk and revealed how he really felt.
Lingxiao blushed and fled in a panic.
All right, no wonder he'd made her take responsibility after she accidentally caught him changing clothes last time.
The young lord at first: A little smitten, but refuses to admit it.
The young lord later: A heartfelt confession while drunk: "Don't always stand so close to me. Do you know how shy that makes me... Call me A Ce."
A great fire traps Lingxiao inside a palace hall. Just as she loses consciousness, the crown prince, the Prince of Qin, risks his life to save her.
Perhaps he pays extra attention to Lingxiao to make up for what happened to his younger sister, Zhaole, who died in a fire, but this also displeases his wife.
"Lingxiao: Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, I'm your younger sister."
Not long after she and the young lord fall in love, Lingxiao is abducted by an enemy nation.
She mounts her little red horse, willing to die to bring military intelligence back to her country.
But an arrow strikes her in the chest, and only as she lies on the brink of death does she remember her past.
Later, after the enemy nation falls, she is no good with a bow, so she personally cuts out the heart of her enemy.
The young lord brings out the marriage contract he made with Zhaole many years ago.
Lovers find their happy ending.
