[Gloomy-cute, pampered transmigrated heroine vs. hypocritically kind, reborn hero]
Duan Yinli transmigrated.
She went from being a skilled little doctor of traditional Chinese medicine to the eldest daughter of the Imperial Medical Office. She looks enchantingly bewitching, but is actually gloomy and adorable.
In life, the two things she loves most are medicine and meat.
Later, she met someone who became the third exception in her life.
Fu Yunmo was reborn.
He went from being a villain who killed his father and emperor to a banished prince whom everyone pitied and adored. He seems to want nothing, but is actually full of ambition.
After starting over from a max-level account in the beginner's village, all he wanted was to live freely. But after meeting Duan Yinli, he took up the butcher's knife once more for her.

[Little Scene]
One day, servants bustled about beside the lotus pond, removing every last withered lotus leaf.
Duan Yinli glanced over indifferently, gnawing on a chicken leg as she muttered, "Let the remaining lotus leaves listen to the rain... What a shame..."
The next day, under an overcast sky, she walked through the covered corridor and was surprised to find lotus leaves still in the pond.
Rain pattered on the leaves, making a clear, crisp sound.
She murmured to herself, "Why are these lotus leaves still here?"
Behind her, a tall, graceful man draped his cloak over her shoulders and said softly, "So you can listen to the rain."
After a pause, he added, "Together."
She turned around and said with perfect sincerity, "I hear chicken legs go even better with rainy days."
He lowered his gaze, a warm smile spreading across his lips, and indulgently offered her a chicken leg.

This is the story of a little hypochondriac looking for her mother, then looking for her father, and picking up a very ill husband along the way to usurp the throne.
It's also the story of a great beauty and her little beauty taking on a bunch of ugly people.
And above all, it's the story of two stone-faced people doting on each other until neither of them is stone-faced anymore.
