[A gentle healer who saves the world VS an emotionally detached cleaner]
[Dream-eating physician VS human-shaped nightmare-suppressing cauldron]
As the only dream-eating physician left in the Imperial Medical Academy, Li Zhaoyan is more than capable of treating patients afflicted with nightmare sickness.
So her superiors send her to deal with a plague.
Li Zhaoyan agrees, then does a double take. What?! A plague?! That's not my specialty!
Suspicious that her superiors must have lost their minds, but ever diligent in her work, she goes anyway.
She doesn't know what she's getting into until she gets there, and then she's in for a shock.
The city is bustling, with people coming and going. Huh? Wasn't this place supposed to be overrun by plague?
Then she runs into someone familiar. Ah, her "archenemy."
Her "archenemy" whose name she'd only ever heard.
*
The first time they meet, they start fighting over a disagreement.
The second time, Li Zhaoyan is ambushed and assumes Chu Liang is behind it, so she tries to stab him with a needle as soon as she sees him.
The third time, Chu Liang doesn't remember her.

In the eyes of everyone in the capital, this is a story about two people who each think the other is their archenemy. They work together, fight all along the way, defeat the big boss, and then never see each other again.
In Li Zhaoyan's eyes, it's a story about working with a colleague she barely knows, having a minor disagreement, then successfully sorting everything out and spending the rest of their lives together in love.
In Chu Liang's eyes, it's a story about being ordered to hide his identity and spy on someone, then accidentally disobeying orders by falling for the person he's spying on, taking down the boss, and living happily ever after together.
Reader's Guide:
1. There's an amnesia plot, but the memories will return.
2. They think they're meeting for the first time, but it's actually a reunion after a long separation.
3. The blurb jumps around a little, but the story itself is more restrained.
