On the Run with the Ailing Prince

Troubled by her complicated background, Xin He has lived in seclusion at the bottom of Heartbreak Cliff for over ten years. Life there is as bland as water, utterly dull, and her only pleasures are storybooks, listening to tales, and petting her fat cat. The cliff is deep, but it can't trap the little doctor’s longing to fly free, until one day she accidentally rescues a sickly young man.

The chance has finally come!

But how did she go from wanting to find a cook for her cat to becoming someone’s personal physician?

What a raw deal!

Later on, she had long since sensed the cold indifference and deep scheming beneath Feng Yi’s gentle exterior. As for the way he restrained himself around her, the little doctor wanted to tell him there was no need. After all, she might really have some rather unusual tastes...

*He loves her free-spirited nature, while she adores his countless schemes.

(Special scene)

Deep underground in a tomb riddled with danger, Xin He struggles to suppress her excitement as it keeps bubbling up. Putting on a solemn face, she says, "I hear taking things from the dead brings bad karma." So why don’t you just stay here?

Feng Yi: "Makes sense. You wait here while I go."

Xin He: "..."

You’re going to lose me if you don’t get the hint!

An imaginative, carefree, tsundere little doctor x a sickly prince with a hard-luck life and a cunning mind

P.S.:

1. The story takes place in the late stages of a typical novel where the original heroine turns her life around. The male lead has no romantic storyline with her.

2. The heroine is a native of this world, not someone who transmigrated into a book.

3. One-on-one sweet romance, happy ending.

Please add my upcoming story, "The Long Road to a Political Marriage (Fake Princess)", to your reading list!

Ning Zhao was taken in by Fu Jingjing when she was five.

Over the next twelve years, the frail little girl, thin as a bean sprout, grew into a graceful young woman. She had killed for him and risked her life for him. She wanted to become the sharpest sword in his hand and help him fulfill the burning ambition beneath his unruffled exterior.

It was to repay his kindness, and also for the secret yearning hidden in her heart.

Until she was sent to the Zhou Kingdom in place of his sister to marry for political reasons.

Only then did she realize that all those years of hard study and training were nothing compared to how much her face, so like Princess Chaoyun’s, mattered...

(Male lead's perspective):

Five years ago, Lin Shu helped a child emperor ascend the throne. Under the title of Grand Tutor, he holds absolute power in the Zhou Kingdom and commands respect throughout the realm.

After years of ruthless rule, everyone fears him.

Except for Princess Chaoyun of the Qi Kingdom.

She’s audacious, for one thing. And a woman about to enter the emperor’s harem ought to know better. Does she think he can’t see through her clumsy attempts to seduce him?

In response...

Ning Zhao: "The great families of the Zhou Kingdom are not united with you, my lord. Why not help me become empress? We could support each other, you in the imperial court and me in the inner palace."

Lin Shu scoffed. "And what makes you think you can do that?"

Later...

Lin Shu looked down at her. "Do you still want to be empress?"

Ning Zhao's eyes were rimmed with red, her moist gaze veiled in a thin mist. "Of course. Wouldn't it be wonderful if the whole Zhou Kingdom were under our control...?"

Seeing the increasingly dangerous look in his eyes, she added timidly, "Actually, being the Grand Tutor's wife would be nice too..."

P.S.: The heroine is a fake princess and a real spy. The male lead fights a battle of wills over love, while the second male lead faces a long, painful road to winning her back.
