The Young Doctor of the Outer City of the Capital Solves Cases

My next story will be The Former Immortal Emperor Tutors Her for the Immortal Sect's Civil Service Exam. Please bookmark it! I want to build up more of a backlog for the new story, so the launch is delayed until September 24. Lin Weishu is seventeen. Her family fell on hard times when she was young, and after her father died, she and her mother moved to the outer city. While her father was alive, she almost became engaged to Xuan Ying, the second son of the Yong'an Marquis household. Now, of course, he is far above her station, and there has been no further news. Since the start of spring this year, Lin Weishu has been studying medicine under Madam Xin. Lin Weishu has become highly skilled in medicine. Her work is not limited to saving the living; she also sometimes helps examine corpses and investigate cases. She has no other ambitions. Unexpectedly, Madam Xin wants to take her on as a disciple. And after she solves two cases in a row, Miss Lin gradually becomes famous throughout the capital. When Lin Weishu lived in the outer city, a young master of the Shen family, a duke's household, moved in next door. Shen You was frail as a child, so his family sent him to live at a temple. He was also exceptionally gentle and mild-mannered. When Lin Weishu met him, he had lost his hearing in both ears while saving his mother. Yet his family shunned him, making him a pitiful figure. Young Master Shen was handsome and had a wonderful temperament. As the two grew closer, Shen You took meticulous care of her. He asked after her, accompanied her while she investigated cases, and looked after her with great care whenever she fell ill. Even when Lin Weishu was on her period, he thoughtfully brought her a hot-water bottle to warm her stomach. Lin Weishu blushed in embarrassment, but could not help developing feelings for Shen You. She was perceptive and thought Shen You might feel the same way. She was quite sure their love would be mutual. Who could have guessed that when she confessed to him, Shen You would reject her, leaving them both in an awkward position? After that, she realized Shen You was not what he seemed. He was not as kind, gentle, and amiable as he appeared. In private, he was sinister and ruthless, and simply good at putting on an act. Lin Weishu gave up on him and quietly kept her distance, intending to grow apart. Shen You noticed, too. Like a poisonous snake raised in a damp, hidden burrow, he seemed to be falling apart. "Miss Lin, you said you loved me. You still do, don't you?" His voice was soft, and two points of burning light showed in his shadowed, unreadable eyes. As if he could not bear to hear Lin Weishu say no. Lin Weishu was furious, too. "No!" Shen You froze, plainly losing control and panicking. "No?" Shen You, the legitimate grandson of the Duke of Wei, was handsome and renowned for his benevolent, gentle nature. Secretly, he was the head of a covert intelligence network and highly valued by the new emperor. In private, however, he was a wicked demon with nothing but a handsome face. He fed on other people's greed and malice, manipulating their hearts to nourish his hollow, pallid soul. He loved manipulating people and collecting leverage over them. If he wished, any noble of the court or upright scholar-official could become a puppet in his palm, tugged by invisible strings and made to dance as he pleased. At first, he had only wanted to tempt Lin Weishu into becoming one of his useful tools. Even when Lin Weishu confessed to him, it was just an unexpected turn of events he did not need to accept. Yet he was so delighted it felt like an electric current running from the tips of his hair to his toes. Then he began to regret it, and earnestly wondered how he could make Lin Weishu change her mind. A bright flower blooms in a dark, damp place.
