After Abandoning the Cold and Aloof Chief Minister

[Sunny girl × sickly beauty] Song Zhumian transmigrates into the body of an orphan and is fortunate to be taken in and doted on by a kind herb gatherer. Fortunately, she hasn't forgotten her old skills. With silver needles in her left hand and miraculous remedies in her right, she treats every kind of difficult illness and injury. Within a few years, word of the Little Medicine Immortal spreads far and wide. * Chief Councilor Li Cheng wields power over the court. He is the late emperor's youngest son and the current emperor's half-brother. To avoid attracting attention, he has claimed since childhood to be frail and sickly, afflicted with a hidden ailment. Now that his elder brother has ascended the throne, the emperor recalls their close bond and is consumed with worry. Hearing that a Little Medicine Immortal in the common folk has miraculous healing skills, especially when it comes to... hidden ailments? The emperor waves a hand: “Invite her in secret. Make sure my brother is cured!” To keep up appearances, Chief Councilor Li has no choice but to move into a separate residence next door to the Little Medicine Immortal. * This patient's problem may be a little strange, but he pays very generously. A doctor relies on inspection, touch, and questioning. His complexion looks decent on inspection, his posture feels decent to the touch, and his pulse... is decent too. Song Zhumian treats him diligently, tending to him with care, and each consultation earns her a more generous fee. But... His ailment is almost completely cured, so why does he still come for follow-up visits every day? And why is his gaze growing more and more strange... After one reckless night, she knocks Chief Councilor Li out with a bowl of sweet soup, grabs her fortune, and vanishes without a trace. * When Li Cheng wakes, he sees bite marks and red marks all over his body, and the empty house next door. He crushes the jade cup in his hand. He thought he was simply cooperating with his elder brother and humoring a doctor from the countryside. He doesn't know when it began: he craves watching her frown as she takes his pulse, and longs for the slow touch of her fingertips. Yearning slips into his dreams, and passion fills the bedchamber. And now she's run away? Fine. Very well. She's going to touch someone else. Reader's guide Wooden-headed heroine × peacock-like hero A sweet little romance, both leads sexually inexperienced.
