A Healer Cannot Cure Lovesickness

It's a plot-focused infinite-flow yuri story with a top who loves women and a beautiful, domineering, calculating woman, paired with a talented, beautiful, tragic, high-IQ bottom with an older-sister vibe who never lets a grudge go.

Lin Shuangjing's life began in winter snow.

The wind howled and snow fell softly. Deep in the quiet forest at night, a little girl wrapped in clothes too thin to keep out the cold fell asleep, overcome by exhaustion amid endless damp and chill.

Fortunately, when she woke, she found herself somewhere as warm as spring, enveloped in a gentle, clear breeze.

That person said to her, "Come with me from now on."

--

Her master said that it was the luckiest day of her life. She had found a child, named her, grown close to her, raised her, and taught her. They had depended on each other ever since.

--

When Lin Shuangjing was sixteen, her master left without giving any reason.

Lin Shuangjing said nothing as she followed the path her master had left her, step by step. From Jiangnan to the capital, everyone knew that the immortal doctor Lin healed the sick and did good, saving countless lives.

But what traveled even farther than her reputation as a miraculous healer was her frosty, snow-cold demeanor, and the beautiful face glimpsed beneath the veil she wore now and then. As she traveled north, healing the sick and helping others, she saw all the world had to offer and received countless declarations of love and proposals. She was even kidnapped by bandits who had set themselves up as kings, hoping to make her their chief's wife... Rumors of the admirers swarming around her did not earn her a lasting ill reputation. Instead, they made her seem all the more legendary.

When the emperor summoned the immortal doctor Lin, it was just after the first snow of early winter. Lin Shuangjing, dressed in white, looked especially serene and radiant against the snow. As she bowed in the hall, everyone present held their breath--

What a beautiful person.

No wonder they called her "an immortal descending to earth, clad in pure robes, her bright purity breaking through the world to bring the dawn"...

Countless people took notice of her, countless people held her in their hearts, and countless people... counted her among their enemies.

Assassination, framing, struggles for power... Before the political machinations of the capital, everyone was merely a pawn.

And Lin Shuangjing was a player.

--

Xie Fenghe was the regent, wielding real power and standing above all others. A year ago, however, an accident left her badly wounded. On the brink of death, she happened upon Lin Shuangjing, who had come there to treat the sick.

Xie Fenghe never told Lin Shuangjing that every look she gave as she bowed her head to bandage and medicate her, every word of comfort and advice, had become an image of misty rain that would never leave her memories.

If Lin Shuangjing was a star, then Xie Fenghe thought of herself as a speck of dust on the ground. She had never imagined that the immortal doctor Lin, who seemed to have left the mortal world behind, would be willing to become partners with an ordinary person like her.

Xie Fenghe had never dared to believe it.

Xie Fenghe set the perfect mood and prepared herself as best she could. At last, she tentatively asked Lin Shuangjing, "Can I kiss you?"

Lin Shuangjing thought for a moment, then simply moved closer.

She rested her face against Xie Fenghe's shoulder.

Xie Fenghe didn't dare move. She slowly reached out and put an arm around Lin Shuangjing, afraid Lin Shuangjing would notice how nervous she was.

The person in her arms was like a little cat, docile and soft, pressed tightly against her. A faint, warm herbal scent lingered gently in the air. Xie Fenghe's heart raced. The warmth of the person in her arms surpassed the longing she had dreamed of a thousand times over...

Xie Fenghe heard the person in her arms speak in a surprisingly gentle voice, seemingly answering a different question as she slowly said:

"...Big sister."

1. The protagonist, Lin Shuangjing, is the bottom. She was four when she was abandoned. Gentle, beautiful, cool, talented, and aloof as a flower on a high peak, she is both beautiful and tragic. She was born with an eye condition and has taken medication for years, which has made her eyesight exceptionally sharp. The true top is Xie Fenghe, whose real nature is decisive and domineering, a regent who always gets her way.

2. The protagonist bottom is a captivating beauty, thanks to her otherworldly air and talent. This is a light power fantasy with a broad scope, including the supernatural, and the plot will hold up logically.

3. The main focus is the career plot, with a fair amount of romance woven in.

4. The author loves older women. The cannon-fodder tops who appear, including the master and bandits, are all women and are generally older than Lin Shuangjing.

5. For specifics, please read the story. Thank you!
