Original title: A Hand on the Pulse, a Blade in the Other
Quirky, knife-wielding woman physician VS pure-hearted, loyal, honest man
Lou Shuangyan found Zheng Kang.
A life-saving kindness is greater than anything. Zheng Kang decided to repay her by giving himself to her, working like an ox or a horse for Lou Shuangyan for the rest of his life!
Lou Shuangyan giggled. “My family runs a clinic. We don’t farm, so we have no use for an ox. A horse might come in handy, but we already have two at home, so we don’t need you either.”
She patted Zheng Kang on the shoulder. “Go sit somewhere cool!”
Opportunity only comes to those who are prepared!
Zheng Kang showed up uninvited and worked day and night, planting flowers, sweeping, making medicine...
He could do the work of three people, terrified that Lou Shuangyan might not want him.
A sense of impending replacement swept over her.
Lou Shuangyan snatched the iron rake from Zheng Kang. “You! Stop working! At this rate, my parents will start calling you their son and send me off to work as a hired hand!”
Zheng Kang protested, “A son-in-law is half a son, too...”
Our dynasty has crushed the Xiongnu, and the army is returning home in triumph.
Just a moment ago, the man had been riding a fine horse, dressed in armor and carrying a spear, basking in his success. Now, he was pressed close to Lou Shuangyan.
“You look a lot like a hired hand who ran away from my family.”
The man wore only an undershirt, which did little to hide his strong, lean muscles or the scar across his bronze-colored chest.
Lou Shuangyan was a little dazed. She reached out, undid his clothes, and gently touched the scar.
“Where is he?” the man asked with a soft laugh, taking her hand.
“He’s dead,” Lou Shuangyan replied with a resentful roll of her eyes.
“Then I’ll take his place.”
“Your Highness Refuses to Divorce Me”
Scheming merchant’s daughter VS carefree young nobleman
Zhao Youxi was once the dream lover of every noble young lady in the capital.
The late emperor’s most beloved youngest son, and the new emperor’s closest younger brother... No one in the world was a more privileged and carefree idler than His Highness Prince Xin.
What made him even more popular with the ladies was his face: refined as jade, with sharp brows and bright eyes. Calling him a second Pan An would hardly be an exaggeration.
But why “was” he?
Simply because Zhao Youxi had been latched onto by a merchant family from some remote backwater.
That shameless merchant had the audacity to demand repayment for a favor, forcing Prince Xin to marry his foolish daughter. They even used Prince Xin’s name to open a string of shops in the capital, raking in money hand over fist.
No one knew that their Prince Xin had fought his way through countless obstacles to win this marriage.
“My lady, I don’t want a divorce. You promised we’d spend our lives together,” Zhao Youxi pleaded, his eyes reddening.
“Who’s your lady?” Xue Ying pushed him away. “My husband can buy me that shop in the eastern part of the city. Can you?”
Zhao Youxi’s eyes lit up. “Of course I can. Just wait for me, my lady!”
Shops, silver, gold: whatever his wife wanted, Zhao Youxi would personally place in her hands.
Theme: Right every wrong in the world, help those in danger, and let all rejoice together.
