I Won't Marry into the Powerful

Shen Yan felt that something had been rather strange lately.

They first met at the clinic. A young woman rushed up to him, tears in her eyes. "Doctor Rong, please save me! Every night, I dream that I marry a powerful nobleman and am tortured to death..."

He lowered his eyes and caught sight of her astonishingly bright gaze. His heart stirred, but his expression remained cold. "This clinic doesn't treat delusions."

Three days later, she came back. "Could you make me uglier? A fortune-teller said my looks could bring a kingdom to ruin."

He rubbed the pestle between his fingers and eventually came up with a solution, removing the cinnabar mole beneath her eye.

From then on, this "Doctor Rong," mistaken for someone else, found himself growing rather interested. He wanted to see what other absurd things this girl might do.

That was until he returned to Chenjing.

The Crown Prince knelt before the throne. "Uncle, I dream about a woman every night."

The young general's eyes reddened. "Regent, a woman died in my dream. I often feel heartbroken and can't let it go."

The young prince clutched his wine flask. "Royal brother, I wronged someone in my dream. I want to find her and make it up to her."

Shen Yan rubbed his temples, suddenly sensing something was amiss. "What woman?"

"We couldn't see her face in the dream. I only remember a cinnabar mole beneath her eye."

The hand holding his teacup suddenly froze.

Later, the girl stumbled over to him, clutching his sleeve and choking back sobs. "Doctor Rong, will you marry me? Let's leave the capital..."

When he didn't answer, she stomped her foot in a panic. "If you won't, I'll find someone else!"

He abruptly grabbed her wrist. "All right." (Silently drafting an order to transfer himself out of the capital.)

"Then let's sneak out quietly. You're so frail. I'm afraid those powerful nobles will bully you."

Shen Yan: "As my wife says..." (Quietly dismissing the massed Imperial Guards outside the window.)

She lived in constant fear, treading as if on thin ice, and he was the only person who could protect her.

How could they not be a match made in heaven?

One-on-one + happy ending + early love-triangle drama, mostly sweet romance

Timid, cautious beauty x Regent who plays the pig to eat the tiger

P.S. This is mostly sweet. I think only the supporting male characters will get hurt.

Theme: Even knowing the road ahead is covered in thorns, one must still press bravely onward.
