A Good Medicine Becomes a Wife

[Black-Bellied, Pure-Hearted Monarch Hero x Timid on the Outside, Resilient Within, Transmigrated-Into-a-Book NPC Heroine]

Slow burn, both leads are each other's first and only, happy ending! Feel free to read~

Two transmigrations into a book + golden finger + identity reveals + marriage before love + light comedy + ensemble cast

Civil-service exam candidate Baili An transmigrates into a book, becoming an ignorant palace candidate who knows nothing about the harem plot. She is even bound to the male lead, the emperor of the Liang Dynasty, and becomes his "perfect bedmate."

Baili An wants to cry but has no tears. Why would the handsome, suave, charming male lead from the original story, who can't get it up, have to set his sights on her, an NPC?

Li Pingfeng lifts the curtain and lies down beside her. "Don't move."

Li Pingfeng, overwhelmed by his primal urges, sits at his desk and sneezes.

That's right, he admits it: he really does have ulterior motives toward Baili An.

Being near her brings him closer to a cure, and the sudden attacks of his heart condition ease.

She is his remedy.

But he doesn't love her. He's only using her, just as he does everyone else.

But later, Li Pingfeng loses his "remedy," along with his own heart, and meets his end at the foot of a cliff.

Food has no taste, he can't sleep at night, and alone in bed he tosses and turns in desolation.

The dignified emperor has become a widower.

Then, during the Lantern Festival, he sees her again at the bridge. He shouts for her not to go, not to leave him, but she seems to have lost her memories and has completely forgotten him.

Worse still, she has become the fiancée of Gu Ji, a traitor to the court!

A thousand miles away, Baili An is as steady as a mountain.

Don't speak to me of titles and honors, my lord. One general's success is built on the bones of ten thousand soldiers.

Reader's guide:

1. This is set in an alternate history. Many palace rules are a mix of different traditions, and some are made up, so please don't nitpick or be dogmatic! I won't accept writing advice.

2. The overall tone leans toward comedy, with a brisk pace.

3. The main mission + a modern introvert's daily life as she charges into the imperial palace, making snarky comments + my own take on a palace survival guide + a bickering couple's sweet romance.

4. Note: The heroine transmigrates into a book twice, and her feelings for the hero don't develop overnight. Please give them time. We'll get there naturally.

5. I hope you can share a knowing smile with me as you read. Have a wonderful reading journey! (Bows, applauds, offers flowers, winks.)

Coming soon: She Won't Let Me Repay Her with My Life (romantic fantasy)

Down-on-her-luck merchant Frost's Descent finds a young man while scavenging. He's filthy from head to toe, and his face is the only decent thing about him. His brain seems to be full of water.

Ever since waking up, the young man has been doing his utmost to sell himself to her.

Cheng Qianwen: "Miss Frost's Descent, thank you for saving me. As for repayment, how about I devote my life to you?"

Frost's Descent: "What a smooth talker. I don't want a little hoodlum like you for a husband."

Cheng Qianwen: "Aw, I'm very hardworking. I can wash vegetables, cook, and do the laundry for you."

Frost's Descent: "No. You can't do it as well as I can."

Cheng Qianwen: "I can help you..."

Frost's Descent: "No."

Cheng Qianwen (wiping away tears): "I just want to stay by your side. Don't kick me out."

Frost's Descent: "...I'm going to roam the martial world."

Cheng Qianwen (jumping up): "Then we're going the same way!"

Cheng Qianwen doesn't know anything about the six realms born of the turning seasons, and doesn't want to know what stupid pact the five realms signed a hundred years ago, what marks they made, or what they sealed away.

All he knows is that today's sun in Si City is blazing hot, and the old bronze disc in his hand, engraved with the twenty-four solar terms and used as a mirror, is hot as a freshly baked sesame flatbread.

Then someone falls from the sky.

The person mutters mysteriously, "After the twenty-four solar terms pass, the Temporal Abyss will break open, the demon realm will return, and the five realms of humans, immortals, gods, ghosts, and demons will descend into chaos."

Cheng Qianwen doesn't care. He counts on his fingers. "Oh. Then let me calculate how much longer I have to live."

"You are the source of all evil."

Cheng Qianwen's eyes go wide. "What?!"

"Look at the shooting stars!"

The mysterious person doesn't give him a chance to run.

A golden light flashes, and Cheng Qianwen sees someone with a face exactly like his. That person stands amid the ruins of Si City, covered in blood and looking terrifyingly ferocious. He chants a spell, summoning millions of blood-red swords. Gods fall before him, and Buddhas are slain before him.

Corpses litter the ground, blood flows like a river, and humans, immortals, gods, ghosts, and demons all lie at his feet.

"This is you," the mysterious person says. "The source of all evil, the one who walks between the seams of time."

"The century-old pact is about to expire."

"If you want to change the ending of your fate, you must first find someone."

Cheng Qianwen looks down. At some point, the markings on the bronze disc in his hand have stopped at "Frost's Descent."
