For the Sake of Healing

#If I Can't Have the Throne, I'll Just Study Medicine#

#For a While, I Couldn't Tell Which Was Harder: Being an Emperor or a Doctor#

#After Mastering the Secret Arts of Medicine, They Tried to Make Me Emperor Instead#

A gentleman keeps his talents close, waiting for the right moment to act. When insulted, he shows no emotion.

Li Zhaoying was the late emperor's eldest daughter. Rescued as an infant, she was raised far from the worldly bustle. As a child, she learned from a strange book and cultivated the inner energy of the healing arts. As an adult, she deliberately took the deadly poison Heart's Desire Begonia. She lost her voice, but by a twist of fate, her divine powers reached their peak.

Deep waters make no sound; steady people speak little. Those who plot great things keep them in their hearts and put them into action.

Bearing a deadly poison within her, Li Zhaoying travels the world.

Her purpose is not revenge, but justice.

The fairness and justice that can never be obtained through proper channels.

The justice her mother was denied in an age of rigid class divisions under imperial rule.

The dividing line for the romance

In the dynasty's final years, the Yellow River burst its banks, devastating the Hongze Lake region.

The court's disaster-relief silver vanished on its way to Taizhou.

On his father's orders, Yu Huolian went down the mountain to investigate. There, he happened to meet the physician Li Zhaoying.

Li Zhaoying was fighting an epidemic in Taizhou and had spent all the money she had.

The first time they met

Yu Huolian: What a pretty little beauty. Too bad she's mute.

Li Zhaoying: What a rich idiot. Why couldn't he be mute?

The Nth time they met

Yu Huolian: Too bad she's my brother's woman.

Li Zhaoying: Could I treat my brother and then swindle him for the consultation fee?

Later, Li Zhaoying was ambushed and suffered a qi deviation.

When her madness struck, she lost all her memories and saw nothing but patients.

Day one of the episode

Li Zhaoying: “Young man, your kidney yin is depleted. Let this old doctor prescribe you a dose of Liu Wei Di Huang Wan. It'll cure you right away.”

Yu Huolian: “...”

By then, the two were engaged. Guess why his kidneys were depleted? His fiancée was just too wild.

Day two of the episode

Li Zhaoying: “You look awfully familiar.”

Yu Huolian: “Wonderful, A Ying. I'm your...” fiancé.

He was cut off before he could finish.

“I remember!” Li Zhaoying cried. “You're the mental patient I've been trying and failing to cure!”

Yu Huolian: “...”

P.S. A ruthless man-eating flower × a lovesick puppy. Older woman-younger man romance.

There have been female emperors in history, so the heroine could become emperor. Whether she does in the end, we'll see how things go.
