One-sentence summary:
◆ This is a “you've got a problem, I've got the medicine” romance between a cool-headed female doctor who's so composed it's almost infuriating, and a frail, delicate? prince who's a black lotus.
Official synopsis:
After her mother died, Su Hua spent three years keeping vigil at her mother's tomb. Her father paid her no mind, surrounded by his concubines and children.
When she returned to the Prime Minister's residence, the legitimate daughter found herself treated worse than the concubines' daughters. Her stepmother and half-sisters schemed against her, and even the servants thought they could walk all over her.
What the hell!
She makes sure her stepmother never becomes the principal wife and rips the sweet facade right off her half-sister.
She secretly tramples her scumbag father and slaps him, then brings the unruly servants to their knees.
But who is this person who keeps slipping into her boudoir, claiming, “I'm so delicate and weak,” while somehow landing perfectly in her arms? Identify yourself, now!

Scene One [To Save or Not to Save]:
When they first met, her medical instincts made her take his pulse. Then she turned and walked away. Trouble!
At their first meeting, he saw her hurrying off and quietly reached out to grab her. “Miss, save me!”
The man was a mess, but his elegance remained undiminished. His gentle smile was as warm as a spring breeze. “Saving one life is better than building a seven-story pagoda, Miss.”
Su Hua glanced at the large, well-defined hand holding her wrist over her pulse point and replied, calm and composed, “Of course. A doctor's duty is to care for others.”

Scene Two [A Special Day]:
“My lord, the princess consort is at Xiang Garden, having tea and chatting with someone,” the guard reported.
The man asked coolly, “A man or a woman?”
“A man.”
The man calmly beckoned the guard closer to whisper in his ear.
Fifteen minutes later, in a private room at Xiang Garden:
“Princess Consort, the prince is having an episode. Please hurry back,” the guard announced.
Su Hua didn't react. The young gentleman across from her eyed the guard suspiciously.
“Princess Consort, the prince says he wants to see you one last time,” the guard continued.
The young gentleman was shocked. Su Hua still didn't react, and not a trace of concern showed on her face.
Before the guard could say anything else, the young gentleman turned to Su Hua and said, “You should go back and check. Something must have happened to the prince.”
Su Hua leisurely took a sip of tea and set down her cup. “What could possibly have happened? It's just one of his special days. He has a few days like that every month. It's nothing.”
The young gentleman and the guard: “...” Something seemed off here! -_-|||
