A mission gone wrong and a villain in need of serious therapy await in this heart-rending danmei (Boys’ Love) drama—finally available in English!

Medical student Song Qingshi has just awakened inside a historical fantasy novel and bestowed a mission: save the protagonist from a life of slavery.

There’s just one not-so-minor problem: Song Qingshi doesn’t read historical fantasy and has no idea who is who! So, instead of correctly identifying and saving the protagonist, he’s actually just rescued the brilliant and beautiful minor antagonist, Yue Wuhuan.

Yet not all is lost. Rather than being put off by Yue Wuhan’s suspicious interest in poisons and villainy, Song Qingshi makes it his mission to treat the underlying trauma to reform his “heroic” ward. United by their love of medicine and a budding mutual attraction, the two must face a hostile and fantastic world in a fight to give Yue Wuhuan the happy ending he deserves.

Klappentext

DOES TIME REALLY HEAL ALL WOUNDS?

After a near-fatal catastrophe, Song Qingshi awakens to find his home, the Medicine King’s Valley, almost unrecognizable. But not to fear. His devoted companion, Yue Wuhuan, remains by his side, ready to guide him through the changes.

Yue Wuhuan seems transformed as well. There are rumors that he’s become a ruined beauty and a madman, but he insists it’s all an act. To Song Qingshi, he seems more stable than ever before. Yet when the volatile and injured An Long storms into the valley, Yue Wuhuan’s carefully spun narrative begins to unravel. Soon, the two are at each other’s throats again.

In a desperate bid to restore peace, Song Qingshi proposes a vacation together. But beneath the surface of this idyllic escape, Yue Wuhuan is still scheming—determined to eliminate anyone who dares sully his beloved “Zunzhu.” And if An Long thinks he can stop him, he’s about to learn just how far Yue Wuhuan will go for love.
