Needles and Medicine: The Frail Prince Is Under the Physician Consort’s Thumb

The third prince of the Dawei Kingdom, Xie Mingrui, suffers from a heart condition. The imperial physicians say he won't live past eighteen. Determined to make his death count, he personally leads an army to reclaim Nanli, the lost territory. There, he meets Xiao Lingyue, a miracle-working healer and the Holy Maiden of Nanli. With her help, he wins a resounding victory. His dazzling achievements and Lingyue's extraordinary medical skills reignite the fire of youth within him.

Xie Mingrui: “How much longer do I have to live?”

Xiao Lingyue: “Dawei is in turmoil, Nanli is waiting to be rebuilt, and Beiqiong is watching like a tiger ready to pounce. Your Highness must live to be a hundred and enjoy a lifespan as long as Heaven itself.”

Xie Mingrui: “I don't want the world. I only want you.”

Xiao Lingyue: “With the realm in such turmoil, how can we think of starting a family? How about we rebuild this shattered land together?”

Xie Mingrui: “Well... your husband will obey.”

He avenges blood debts, cures old afflictions, repels foreign enemies, revitalizes farming and sericulture, establishes the Imperial Academy, and brings prosperity to the people.

She is the medicine that heals his heart, and he is her shield.
