COVERT OPERATION

Time is running out for the empress as an acute condition threatens her life!

IN ENEMY TERRITORY

With Keiun’s assistance, Koyou has successfully infiltrated the palace. Her mission? Treat the empress’s illness without Consort Ro or her faction finding out about it! But with the empress stubbornly hiding all her symptoms, a diagnosis by the young doctor seems almost impossible. That is, until an unexpected ally comes to her aid! Meanwhile, refugees from the fallen kingdom of Nankin are in the capital looking for their fellow countryman, Singdam. Have they come to bring him home after all these years? Or does their arrival signal something more nefarious?

KOYOU UNDERCOVER!

A BOND FORGED IN FIRE

Koyou and Singdam’s shared past finally comes to light!

But when Koyou’s unlikely friendship with a local scholar sparks trouble for her, Singdam will put his life on the line to save her! Meanwhile, in the present, as hope of changing Noah’s mind dwindles, Koyou shows her father her true skills as a doctor, and Keiun reveals…his true feelings?!

FATHER KNOWS BEST?

The jig is up for Koyou! Back in the bustling capital after her triumph in Rihou, the young doctor faces her greatest adversary yet: her father, Noah.

Not even her new clinic nor the patients she’s saved are enough to sway him! Will an emergency surgery to save a collapsed lung be what finally persuades Koyou’s father to let her stay? Or will she have to abandon both her new life in Karyou and her search for muscle paradise?

DOCTOR’S ADVANTAGE

JOURNEY TO THE EAST
