A resilient physician who grows stronger step by step × the aloof heir of a marquis’s estate
Both devoted only to each other, happy ending. (Their divorce was due to difficulties on both sides, with no melodramatic twists or evil second female lead. There’s more to the cousin’s story, and the male lead loves only the female lead.)
Song Qinglan, daughter of the Vice Minister of Revenue, saves Su Heng, heir to the Marquis of Zhongyong, after finding him poisoned while gathering herbs. The poison is the same as the one that killed Song Qinglan’s mother, and she discovers that there is more to her mother’s death than meets the eye.
To uncover the truth about her mother’s death, Song Qinglan seeks a chance to get close to Su Heng, but a twist of fate leads them to marry.
After their wedding, the two continually test each other. Song Qinglan gradually falls in love with Su Heng. She feels that even if all she can do is wait for him in the marquis’s estate, that will be enough, as long as she remains his wife.
But Su Heng asks for a divorce. Seeing how close he is to his cousin Ling Yan, Song Qinglan gradually loses hope and agrees to the divorce.
But life is full of surprises, and the two keep meeting again.
Su Heng finds it harder and harder to control his feelings. More and more people are gathering around Song Qinglan, and he can’t stand it.
He confesses his feelings, but Song Qinglan tells him they’re just friends...
