The Man I Picked Up by the Road Won't Leave Me Alone

[Wooden, stoic female doctor x male lead with a split personality]

Zhao Heng had been a puppet on the throne for years. At last, the crucial moment had come for him to reclaim power, step by step.

But during a hunt, the poison he had taken years ago gave rise to another person inside him.

Two souls in one body.

He could do nothing about it.

He could only watch as that person fled the capital, fell in love at first sight with a young woman, and became her live-in husband under the identity of his twin younger brother, Chu Qingyun.

He even spent day and night studying romance stories just to win her favor.

Because they shared one body, Zhao Heng knew of every flutter of the heart and every sensation Chu Qingyun experienced while with the woman.

He couldn't help scoffing inwardly. Chu Qingyun was a fool. How could he feel so strongly about a woman?

Wu Jin was a doctor from Mingyou Valley, sent out into the world. One day, she opened her door and found a man lying outside, a dagger lodged in his chest...

With a healer's compassion, she brought him home.

When the injured young man woke and saw her, he said timidly,

"I have nothing to repay you with. Why don't I offer myself to you, miss?"

"What would I want you for?"

She didn't approve of using oneself as collateral just because one couldn't pay the medical bill.

But the young man looked even more distressed at her words.

Wu Jin could only tell him the truth. "Your servant has already paid your medical bill."

Later, as she tried to avoid marrying the governor's son, she somehow ended up entering into an agreement with him to pretend to be a married couple...

Chu Qingyun never imagined that the moment he arrived in Biyun Commandery, he would fall in love at first sight with a female doctor.

To get a chance to approach the woman he loved, Chu Qingyun spent days poring over romance stories. After careful consideration, he stabbed himself in the chest, then waited outside his beloved's door under cover of darkness.

Even when his imperial elder brother, all the way back in the capital, scolded him, he didn't care one bit.

[You stabbed yourself for an utterly ordinary woman. Are you an idiot?]

Chu Qingyun thought for a moment, then wrote solemnly: If I were an idiot, would Miss Wu look at me in a new light?

Zhao Heng: "..."
