A Friend from the Jianghu

Luo Qinghe, the Imperial Academy of Medicine’s chief physician, leaves the capital because of a letter. That confidante and devoted lover you imagined? It was all an act. That secret crush on his senior apprentice sister, that love as deep as the sea? All fake. That little apprentice whose identity is shrouded in mystery and who can only rely on the Empress’s protection? He simply couldn’t be bothered to raise a kid. Luo Qingjiu carefully investigates her origins at every turn, only to discover that it was all part of her master’s plan.
