"The river flows on, our longing slow; a blush that lingers, years gone by."
1.
Rong Rong is a medical student. After telling someone they should study medicine, she is struck by lightning and transformed into the daughter of the Imperial Medical Academy's director. Armed with the memories and intelligence of her past life, she embarks on a power-fantasy life as a young miracle doctor.
She never expected the emperor, Yan Jingchen, to take such an interest in her. He watches her at work with a cold gaze, gives her a smile she can hardly make sense of, witnesses every one of her most embarrassing moments, and assigns her a position as the harem's dedicated physician, on call 24/7.
She exclaims, "Holy crap."
He asks, "What does 'holly crap' mean?"

Yan Jingchen was made crown prince at ten and ascended the throne at eighteen. Cool-faced and diligent, he usually seems free of sorrow, joy, desire, and ambition. He is Emperor Jingxuan, who "brings blessings to the people, quells calamities, overcomes hardship, and treads through the depths of winter."
But after seeing Rong Rong, as lovely as a white porcelain doll, blush at the sight of him, he became convinced their love was mutual. He fell deeply in love and could no longer make room in his heart for anyone else.
Pressed by the court and the harem to take a wife, he brought the chancellor's daughter into the palace and immediately asked her to do him a favor.
From then on, the chancellor's daughter became the royal gardens' official diver, the family banquet's food taster, and a professional trip-and-fall artist. All so word would reach Rong Rong and make her look his way again.
Every time, Rong Rong's cheeks turned crimson, and she looked at him shyly.
He thought, "Rong Rong really does love me. Since she's shy, I'll take the first step."
