The complete draft of the upcoming novel The Miracle Doctor's Cure for Nighttime Antics is in progress~
After treating patients for so many years, Fourth Master Mu never imagined he'd meet such a peculiar person as Xia Ziyu.
By day, this prince of Nanxia is reserved and well-behaved, the picture of propriety. Aside from his odd temper, he seems to have no other problems.
But as soon as night falls, he suddenly falls ill for some reason: he can't sleep, shuts himself away, and refuses to talk to anyone. If you take your eyes off him for even a moment, he might jump off a building or cut his wrists.
If anyone else kept putting him through all that, Mu Qingze would simply let him have his way. But this peculiar fellow is a hostage sent to Tiansheng by Nanxia. The emperor made it clear that if anything happens to him, three generations of the family will be executed. Simple as that.
After using everything he'd learned to save him, Mu Qingze felt like he had a massive headache.
Xia Ziyu: Why did you save me?
Mu Qingze: I'm still young. I haven't wandered the martial world, eaten, drunk, or gambled, and I don't want to die.
Xia Ziyu: Eat, drink, and gamble?
Mu Qingze: So far, I've only managed the eating and drinking.
Xia Ziyu: Oh. Then I'll help you with the third one first. Let's go to the gambling house tomorrow. (Takes off clothes.)
Mu Qingze: What the hell?!
Afterward...
Xia Ziyu: Can I die now?
Mu Qingze: You're still young. I haven't taken you wandering the martial world, eating, drinking, and gambling yet. You can't die.
Xia Ziyu: ...Get lost.
Fourth Master Mu was kicked off the bed. He rubbed his head and smiled bitterly.
But now that they'd slept together, what could he do?
Keep him, spoil him, treat him like an emperor.
Take him to hear music, eat pastries, go to night markets, watch fireworks, and set lanterns afloat...
So Fourth Master Mu took his little prince by the hand. "Look, life is bright, and everything is lovely."
The little prince gazed into his eyes. "Mm."
Mu Qingze turned around and saw the corners of someone's mouth lift ever so slightly.
Actually, Mu Qingze had realized long ago that aside from the times when his little prince's illness gave him a headache, he was quite adorable.
Reader's Guide:
1. A romance-focused story with a bickering couple and sweet indulgence. The sunny, free-spirited miracle doctor is the gong, and the affection-starved night-owl is the shou.
2. The shou isn't being difficult for no reason. He has serious psychological issues stemming from childhood trauma.
3. If there's angst, it's just there to set up the sweet moments!
