CompletedAfter her master's death, Shen Aheng was left alone guarding a dilapidated temple on a barren mountain. The villagers around dared not seek her for medical treatment, making her life quite difficult.
One day, with her food supply nearly depleted, Shen Aheng was forced to go up the mountain to dig for shepherd's purse. It was raining heavily, and while taking shelter from the rain, she unexpectedly encountered an injured foreign youth.
The youth was curled under a withered tree, his dark hair clinging to his neck. His face, as exquisite as carved jade, was devoid of any color, with a faint purple mark on his neck.
Most striking were the silver earrings hanging from his earlobes, each inlaid with a piece of dark jade, glinting dizzyingly in the shadows. Shen Aheng's hand trembled, almost spilling the shepherd's purse she held.
When she first rescued him, Shen Aheng happily made calculations: the earrings alone would fetch her several granaries of millet, enough for abalone and seafood every meal, and perhaps even enough to renovate the entire sect.
However, she hadn't anticipated that this was a 'medicine man' from the Western Regions, who spoke clumsy Central Plains dialect but possessed an unbelievably docile nature. She pinched her nose, making him drink bitter medicinal soup that made him frown, but he would say "Okay" in a hoarse voice with red-rimmed eyes.
When she casually complained about the cold, that very night he clumsily chopped half a bundle of firewood, his hands covered in blisters. Shen Aheng found this 'snail boy' very congenial and gradually forgot her initial intentions, treating him simply as a silent, handsome disciple she was raising.
Until one day, she stroked his now rosy cheeks and smiled, saying, "Alright, you can run and jump now. Go find your family." The youth suddenly looked up, his hair still dusted with ash from earlier when she was brewing medicine.
After a long pause, he shook his head and squeezed out a sentence in a raw but firm tone: "No... I won't go. Aheng, don't... don't drive me away."
This is a story about a boisterous, unconventional little medical maiden from a Jianghu sect who loves to use strong remedies versus a mysteriously skilled, sickly, clingy 'medicine man' youth from the Western Regions.
It features a comedic style versus a pure and innocent style, 1v1, and both characters are pure. "Mini Theater": One day, Shen Aheng, with nothing to do, taught Ashina Yu about various herbs. Shen Aheng pointed to a patch of 'Danggui' (Angelica sinensis) and teasingly said, "This is called 'Big Liar Egg.' Remember it well."
The youth diligently committed it to memory, writing 'Big Liar Egg' stroke by stroke in the sand. A few days later, a doctor from down the mountain came to ask for Danggui, and the youth crisply retorted, "No, Aheng said it's called 'Big Liar Egg'." The doctor: "..."
