In this danmei/Boys’ Love novel, an arranged marriage will become the perfect career opportunity for one would-be doctor—that is, if a curse doesn’t get in the way.
Ten years of exhaustive study and sleepless nights have suddenly been rendered meaningless for aspiring Imperial Physician Lin Qingyu. In the midst of his education, he’s instructed to set everything aside and marry Lu Wancheng, the sickly son of the marquis—all in the hopes that this union will heal the illness that plagues the young master.
However, Lin Qingyu quickly discovers that Lu Wancheng isn’t just an ill-fated aristocrat. In fact, the man has a mysterious sixth sense that could help Lin Qingyu outmaneuver anyone, even royalty. Thus, Lu Wancheng proposes an idea to his new male bride, one that will help send Lin Qingyu back home to continue his studies and fulfill his dreams…both benign and dastardly.
Yet as feelings bloom between these new allies, a dark truth threatens to rip them apart in both sickness and in health.
In the marquess of Nan’an’s household, Lu Wancheng’s death has left Lin Qingyu a young widow, and he loses no time fleeing his late husband’s hostile family to continue pursuing his dashed dream of becoming a physician. Indeed, the empire of Great Yu has never been as desperate for fine physicians—both the emperor and one of his finest generals are in such ill health as to threaten the country itself.
Lin Qingyu’s medical talents are far from rusty, and soon enough, they ensure that he’s ushered into the imperial palace. There, he waits for someone to utter the secret code Lu Wancheng taught him—the code that begins “If odd, change. If even, remain the same…”
When Lin Qingyu finally hears those words, the speaker isn’t the person he expected—nor are they the only person in the palace interested in Lin Qingyu. The young physician’s beauty and talent have created professional rivals and even more serious threats. The speaker of the secret code may have come too late.
