A Nation's Stratagem: A Glorious Medical Destiny

[Lovable, gloomy transmigrated heroine adored by all vs. seemingly virtuous, secretly fearful reborn hero]

Duan Yinli transmigrated.

She went from being a gifted young doctor of traditional Chinese medicine to the eldest daughter of the Imperial Physician's household. She looks bewitchingly charming, but underneath she's both gloomy and adorable.

In life, she loves two things: medicine and meat.

Then she met someone who became the third exception in her life.

Fu Yunmo was reborn.

He went from being a villain who murdered his father and killed his sovereign to a banished prince who inspires pity wherever he goes. He seems to want nothing, but secretly he's as ambitious as a wolf.

After starting over from a max-level account in the beginner's village, all he wants is to live freely. But after meeting Duan Yinli, he takes up his blade again for her.

[A little scene]

One day, the servants were busy beside the lotus pond, clearing away all the withered lotus leaves.

Duan Yinli gazed on impassively, gnawing on a chicken leg as she muttered, “The withered lotus leaves make such lovely music in the rain... What a shame...”

The next day, under a cloudy sky, she walked through the corridor and was surprised to find the lotus leaves still in the pond.

Rain pattered on the leaves, making a crisp sound.

She murmured to herself, “Why are these lotus leaves still here?”

The tall, elegant man behind her draped his cloak over her shoulders and said softly, “So we could listen to the rain.”

After a pause, he added, “Together.”

She glanced back at him and said with utmost sincerity, “I hear chicken legs go especially well with rainy days.”

He lowered his eyes, a ripple of laughter playing at his lips, and lovingly offered her a chicken leg.

This is the story of a little yandere searching for her mother, then her father, and picking up a very yandere husband along the way to usurp the throne.

It's also the story of a great beauty leading a little beauty in teaching a bunch of uglies a lesson.

More than anything, it's the story of a poker-faced man and a poker-faced girl doting on each other until neither of them is poker-faced anymore.
