A gentle, adorably innocent little Guanyin VS a flirtatious, infuriating, spoiled young master
#A sweet story of a young married couple hiding their secret identities while working undercover#
[The Divine Physician's First Disciple * Leader of the Shadow Guards]
Cui Miao, disciple of the divine physician Ding You, leaves the mountain only to serve the emperor in the capital.
The jianghu is treacherous. She travels far and wide, healing the sick and helping people, but a spoiled young master gets attached to her. Unfortunately, he is so charming and beautiful that Cui Miao is coaxed into marrying him.
Married life turns out to be quite pleasant. Her husband brews tea in spring and warms the bed in winter. She secretly takes care of her official duties while he is away, then lies on the couch eating peeled mandarins and thinks: It's not so treacherous after all.
Until one night, when she gets up to use the bathroom and sees her husband, who should already be fast asleep, climbing over the wall of their home, covered in blood.
Cui Miao takes half a step back: What?!
Yet Yu Zishu smiles with the beauty of a lovely young woman, drops his bloody clothes, and hooks a finger around her hand. "A family asked me to help butcher a pig. Shall I use the money I earned to buy you some little lotus cakes?"
Cui Miao's eyes flicker toward the bloody clothes by his feet. Without a word, she slips into his arms and hides the silver needles in her sleeve a little farther away.
Before long, she'll fake her death and head south with her leader to investigate. Their marriage was nothing but pretense, so why dwell on it? She tells herself this.

Yu Zishu thinks he must be going mad.
He stayed up all night reading a novel and transmigrated into a book, becoming a shadow guard who lives with a blade at his throat every day.
He was gravely wounded and on the brink of death when a little mute girl took him home. He should have left as soon as he recovered. But the girl bustled around him every day, and when her fingertips accidentally brushed his chest while applying medicine, it tormented him worse than a needle prick.
He only had to tease her a few times before she got scared and ran away.
When he saw her again, she was on a date with the top scholar.
So this was the little Guanyin who, in the book, died miserably after a mere few lines?
Yu Zishu scoffs. He's a spoiled young master, after all. Surely stealing someone's girl isn't too much to ask?
Besides, she'd stolen his belt earlier.
He might as well collect what she's owed him while he's at it.

As Cui Miao fakes her death and heads south with her leader, her once stern and dignified superior bends close. A strip of gauze is tied over her eyes. Only his weary, troubled voice reaches her ear, sending a shiver through her.
"There is something weighing on my heart that I cannot resolve. I ask you, physician, to help me find relief."
Her vision blurred, someone guides her palm to his warm, soft lips.
Cui Miao: What?!
This... can't be right!
