The Sickly-Sweet Chancellor's Everyday Devotion to His Wife

Huo Yan, son of Princess Yunping, comes from a distinguished family and enjoys deep imperial favor. Since childhood, he has excelled in both letters and arms, and is the very picture of elegance, nobility, and self-restraint. In the third year of Changlong, Huo Yan was poisoned by members of the harem. The poison had been in his system for a long time, leaving him mercurial and bloodthirsty, so the emperor sent him to recuperate at the state temple. In the sixth year of Changlong, the imperial physician examined him and declared that the heir had recovered. Delighted, the emperor deemed him fit for great responsibility. That same year, Huo Yan was appointed Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, and for a time he was the talk of the capital. The first case Huo Yan handled as Minister of the Court of Judicial Review was an investigation into the Yongsheng Marquis's residence. In common parlance, a confiscation. Gu Wan was a peerless beauty who had captivated the capital. Her family fell from power overnight, stripped of its title and subjected to confiscation. With the tree fallen, the monkeys scattered. On the day of the confiscation, the pampered Gu Wan, dressed plainly, knelt among the crowd, her face deathly pale. She bowed at Huo Yan's feet. Her ten fingers were as slender as jade, and her graceful figure invited covetous glances. Huo Yan glanced at her and took away all the family's possessions, leaving them not even a single copper coin. A confiscation is a confiscation. Naturally, everything must be taken. That night, Huo Yan had an exceedingly strange dream. In it, he was a butcher in a small town, his whole body wreathed in murderous energy as he slaughtered pigs and cut meat, with a thriving business. When he awoke, Huo Yan coolly remarked, "The pork sells well." After that, the butcher visited his dreams every night. The butcher, a pig killer by trade, endured hardship after hardship, rising from an obscure junior officer to become a general. He wore his armor and led the troops wherever he pleased. Yet after only a few days as a general, he traded all his possessions and his position for a beauty, brought her home, and went off to farm. Huo Yan sneered. "A boor from the countryside." On the shabby earthen bed, the beauty writhed and moaned, her skin as smooth as jade, stirring the heart. Tears trickled from the corners of her eyes. That face was unmistakably Gu Wan's, a beauty who could outshine the whole world. When he awoke, Huo Yan smashed a teacup and said in a low, furious voice, "Absurd." A lifetime of absurdity, yet he embraced it willingly. After the Gu family fell from power, Gu Wan went out in public and opened an apothecary in the city, hiring an elderly physician to see patients. It was just enough to make ends meet. But less than seven days later, the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review brought men to seal the shop, pinning the charge of "harming princes and nobles" on her. Gu Wan's lashes glistened with tears. "I didn't." The male lead has taken too much medicine, so his mind is muddled. He really is ill, and he really is a lunatic. Includes a past-life memory trope. Paranoid, neurotic male lead x gentle, sweet, healing beauty. Absolutely a sweet romance. My first historical romance sweet treat.
