Cheng Yu's husband is a physician, the kind who believes in a doctor's duty to heal the sick and save lives.
He's full of compassion. Besides treating patients, he often brings home injured creatures he finds outside and nurses them back to health.
A fallen bird, a rabbit that ran into a tree, an injured white snake, a short-legged red fox... They all make Cheng Yu's heart pound with fear.
Fortunately, this is just an ordinary ancient world, not some Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio. If he wants to bring home a white snake or a fox, then so be it.
Until one day, her husband brought home a person.
A man who was gravely wounded, yet still had a handsome face, and whose clothes were in tatters, yet clearly made from fine material.
Alarm bells rang in Cheng Yu's head. You must never pick up a man by the roadside!
But faced with her husband's pleading eyes and his desperation to save the man's life, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and let him stay.
From then on, Cheng Yu had three more questions to ask every day: Are you better? Can you leave? Please hurry up and go!
The answer was always the same: Not yet. I can't leave. I'll have to stay a few more days.
Whenever her husband saw her trying to hurry the man along, he would just smile helplessly and continue caring for him with all his heart.
"A Yu, the patient needs to rest. Could you be a little more patient with him?"
Later, none of the enemies Cheng Yu had worried about ever came knocking. Life remained peaceful, and she finally relaxed.
He seemed like an ordinary man, and the tension between him and her husband had eased.
But her husband began acting strangely.
Somehow, while caring for the man he'd brought home, he ended up taking care of him in his wife's bed!
Cheng Yu didn't notice anything amiss. She only thought her husband had become less patient with his patient.
"Dear, he's just a patient. Could you please be a little more tolerant?"
