Recap
A team of soldiers rode through the woods on horseback, led by a handsome young general named Chu Xuanchen. His stern face showed signs of fatigue after a fierce battle, leaving him and his soldiers exhausted. Meanwhile, at the Yun residence, Yun Ruoyue was arguing with her father. He demanded that she betray her fiancé, Chu Xuanchen, and steal a registry from him, claiming that this was the only way to change their fate.
Yun Ruoyue continued to argue, but her father bluntly stated that if not for the emperor's arranged marriage, Chu Xuanchen would never have been interested in her. Quietly touching her own face, Yun Ruoyue realized that her scarred visage was hidden beneath her veil. Meanwhile, Chu Xuanchen had returned victorious from his battles, only to be ambushed by assassins on the way back. As his soldiers fell one by one, Chu Xuanchen fought back, quickly dispatching the attackers and chasing after their leader as they fled.
The mastermind behind the assassination attempt was none other than Emperor Chu Yao of the Chu kingdom. Since his plan had failed, Chu Yao had no choice but to honor his promise and arrange for Chu Xuanchen's marriage. Yun Ruoyue was chosen as the main wife, while Nan Gongrou was chosen as the concubine. However, Yun Ruoyue was utterly confused upon entering the bridal carriage. She was originally a modern-day doctor who had been electrocuted while saving someone during a film shoot, and suddenly found herself in the role of Yun Ruoyue. Despite her reluctance to marry, her maid Xiaofeng advised her against rash actions, as defiance against imperial edicts could result in execution. So, Yun Ruoyue rode her horse straight into the wedding ceremony to get it over with as quickly as possible.
On their wedding night, Chu Xuanchen was reading a book when Yun Ruoyue walked in. Chu Xuanchen was very unhappy that she had entered without permission and ordered her to leave. Yun Ruoyue questioned him, asking if he was really sure he wanted to go outside on their wedding night when the guards were strict. If the guards found out they were sleeping in separate rooms on their wedding night, it would surely cause a huge uproar. Chu Xuanchen thought about it and felt that she had a point, so he decided to let Yun Ruoyue stay.
Chu Xuanchen continued reading while Yun Ruoyue couldn't help but nod off. When Chu Xuanchen saw her dozing off, he threw some melon seeds from the table at her, waking her up. Yun Ruoyue was not happy, but she soon learned that Chu Xuanchen was worried she would catch a cold.
Suddenly, Chu Xuanchen heard someone walking on the roof and he and Yun Ruoyue held their breath and observed quietly. Meanwhile, Chu Xuanchen's concubine Nangong Rou was outside the room, watching what was happening inside. It turned out that the person on the roof was an assassin, who had been sent by Chu Yao to assassinate Chu Xuanchen on their wedding night. Chu Xuanchen's subordinates, led by Mo Zhu, rushed in to defend him when they heard the commotion. However, Mo Zhu was unfortunately injured by a poisoned sword. Thanks to Yun Ruoyue's excellent medical skills, she was able to remove the poison from Mo Zhu's body, which made Chu Xuanchen look at her in a new light.
On their wedding night, Chu Xuanchen was reading a book when Yun Ruoyue entered. Chu Xuanchen was displeased with her intrusion and ordered her to leave. Yun Ruoyue questioned him, asking if he was really sure about going outside on their wedding night when the guards were vigilant. She mentioned that if the guards found out they were sleeping in separate rooms on their wedding night, it would cause a huge uproar. Chu Xuanchen thought for a moment and realized she had a point, so he decided to let Yun Ruoyue stay.
While Chu Xuanchen continued reading, Yun Ruoyue couldn't help but feel drowsy and started nodding off. Seeing her falling asleep, Chu Xuanchen used the melon seeds on the table to lightly hit her. Yun Ruoyue woke up startled and was unwilling. It turned out Chu Xuanchen was concerned about her catching a cold.
Suddenly, Chu Xuanchen heard movement on the roof and both he and Yun Ruoyue held their breath, silently observing. Meanwhile, Chu Xuanchen's concubine, Nangong Rou, was outside the room, constantly monitoring the situation inside. She felt extremely distressed thinking about the two people inside.
Indeed, there was an assassin on the rooftop who was sent by Chu Yao to assassinate Chu Xuanchen on their wedding night. Chu Xuanchen's subordinate, Mo Zhu, upon hearing the commotion, hurriedly brought his men to guard, but unfortunately, he was injured by a poisoned sword. Thanks to Yun Ruoyue's superb medical skills, she successfully detoxified Mo Zhu. This made Chu Xuanchen look at Yun Ruoyue with newfound respect.
Doctor Zhao in the medical clinic was puzzled. He wondered why there were no patients coming for treatment today. At that moment, his apprentice hurriedly rushed in and reported that someone was intercepting patients at their doorstep. Doctor Zhu became furious and quickly went out with his staff to investigate. Yun Ruoyue was still busy diagnosing and treating patients. She was capable of treating various illnesses, and Chu Liuyun was watching with great interest. Doctor Zhu came out to negotiate with Yun Ruoyue, who hastily escaped. In her haste, she bumped into Chu Liuyun, while Doctor Zhu's apprentice chased after them. Chu Liuyun intentionally tripped him, causing the apprentice to fall flat on his back.
In fact, Yun Ruoyue was performing good deeds here to earn points because the system prompt indicated that if she accumulated enough points, she could return to the modern era earlier. What's even more ridiculous was that due to her initial attempt to save someone, she inadvertently dragged the driver, Master Zhao, along, and he also crossed over and became her maid Xiaofeng. Yun Ruoyue had to take Master Zhao back with her to restore his original identity. Upon returning to the mansion, Yun Ruoyue had Master Zhao wait outside while she administered a shot to Chu Xuanchen.
Nangong Rou arrived with her maid Xiao Dan in an aggressive manner. She intended to make Chu Xuanchen consume the Revival Powder. Yun Ruoyue couldn't be bothered to argue with her and left with Xiaofeng, allowing Nangong Rou to handle the situation. Nangong Rou carefully administered the medicine to Chu Xuanchen, and soon enough, he actually woke up. Now everyone knew that it was Nangong Rou who saved Chu Xuanchen. Yun Ruoyue didn't bother to defend herself either. When the emperor learned that Chu Xuanchen had awakened, he forced him to hold a grand wedding banquet. Chu Liucheng publicly entrusted the responsibility of organizing the banquet to Nangong Rou, the one who saved him. However, he secretly instructed Yun Ruoyue to find a way to delay Lord Jin for half an hour during the banquet.
On the day when the two madams returned to their maiden homes, Chu Xuanchen promised to accompany Yun Ruoyue back to her family. Xiaofeng was worried that Yun Ruoyue would face harsh criticism from her father and stepmother because they had always treated her poorly. However, Yun Ruoyue wasn't too concerned and said that with the presence of Prince Li, Chu Xuanchen, her father would surely be apprehensive.
Meanwhile, Nangong Rou was feeling down because she knew that Chu Xuanchen would never accompany her home. Xiao Dan didn't want her mistress to be aggrieved, so the two of them came up with a plan. In the garden, Xiao Dan accompanied Nangong Rou to appreciate the flowers. When they saw Chu Xuanchen passing by, Xiao Dan deliberately spoke loudly, mentioning how Nangong Rou had gone through so much trouble to heal Chu Xuanchen, but now she would be returning home alone, which was unfair of Chu Xuanchen to treat Nangong Rou like this. Nangong Rou scolded Xiao Dan tearfully, defending Chu Xuanchen and stating that she and Chu Xuanchen had grown up together as childhood sweethearts, so he must have feelings for her.
The more Nangong Rou expressed her reluctance to trouble Chu Xuanchen, the more guilty he felt. After contemplating for a moment, he walked over and said that he would accompany Nangong Rou back home on that day. Nangong Rou, upon hearing this, stopped crying and smiled. On the day of Yun Ruoyue and Nangong Rou's return home, Yun Ruoyue was waiting at the door, eager to go home with Chu Xuanchen. However, Chu Xuanchen walked straight towards Nangong Rou, much to the frustration of Xiaofeng.
When Yun Ruoyue saw Chu Xuanchen suddenly change his mind and decide to accompany Nangong Rou back home, she was also angry. How could he accompany a concubine instead of his legitimate wife? She ran over to question Chu Xuanchen, who coldly replied that she was late. Nangong Rou secretly felt delighted, but she spoke according to the rules, saying that Chu Xuanchen should accompany his sister back home. Without further explanation, Chu Xuanchen mounted his horse and rode straight towards Nangong Mansion. At that moment, a person in black clothes, heavily injured, stumbled and ran ahead.
Meanwhile, there was a flurry of activity in the Yun residence as they prepared to welcome Prince Li. A servant hastily ran to report to Prime Minister Yun that Prince Li hadn't arrived at their residence but had gone to Nangong Mansion instead. Prime Minister Yun was infuriated upon hearing this and blamed Yun Ruoyue for not being competent. In a fit of anger, he dismissed all the housekeepers and cleaners. The injured person in black clothes stumbled into a courtyard and struggled to release a signal arrow. When Prince Li, who had just arrived at Nangong Mansion, saw it, he quickly took Mo Zhu and went to rescue the person.
Yun Ruoyue returned to her desolate house and suddenly saw an injured person in black clothes in the cabinet. Upon closer inspection, she realized it was Mo Li, one of Chu Xuanchen's subordinates. Yun Ruoyue hurriedly prepared to administer first aid. Just as she sent her father away, Chu Xuanchen arrived. Her father had brought him to meet Yun Ruoyue. Yun Ruoyue intentionally showed an affectionate attitude towards Chu Xuanchen, making her father feel awkward and leave first. Yun Ruoyue hastily brought Chu Xuanchen to see Mo Li, who was unconscious. Yun Ruoyue asked Chu Xuanchen to help her in treating Mo Li, and Chu Xuanchen remembered that Yun Ruoyue had saved his life before.
Chu Xuanchen recognized that Yun Ruoyue was the one who saved him, and Yun Ruoyue didn't deny it. At this moment, Nangong Rou, accompanied by Xiao Dan, came in with a group of servants, claiming that they were here to help the Yun family catch thieves. While Chu Xuanchen and Yun Ruoyue were talking, they heard Xiao Dan and Nangong Rou arguing loudly. They went out to see what was happening, and Yun Ruoyue's father hurriedly came over. Upon seeing Chu Xuanchen and Yun Ruoyue walking out of the room together, Nangong Rou was furious, thinking that they were engaging in marital activities in broad daylight.
Yun Ruoyue didn't bother to explain but instead smiled and said, "Do we still need to schedule such matters?" Nangong Rou became even angrier and was about to lose her temper when Chu Xuanchen sternly reprimanded her. Nangong Rou, filled with shame and anger, left with her entourage in a huff. Yun Ruoyue's father was delighted to see Yun Ruoyue being favored in this way and gave her many gifts before she left. Back at the palace, Chu Xuanchen wanted to reward Yun Ruoyue for her meritorious act of saving someone, so he intended to give her the plaque symbolizing the position of a royal concubine. However, to his surprise, Yun Ruoyue firmly declined.
According to the system's settings, Yun Ruoyue could accumulate points by treating people's illnesses. So, Yun Ruoyue asked Chu Xuanchen to agree to let her diagnose and treat all the servants in the mansion. After hearing this, Xiao Dan and Nangong Rou discussed the matter and decided that they couldn't show weakness. They invited Court Physician Du Qiu to join Yun Ruoyue in a sitting room to receive patients together. Due to Nangong Rou's prior preparations, more people went to their side for treatment than Yun Ruoyue's. But Yun Ruoyue had a clever idea and had Xiao Feng invite the families of the servants to come over. This way, the two sides ended up evenly matched.
In order to determine the winner, Chu Xuanchen also joined their competition. However, he ended up next to Yun Ruoyue's treatment table. In this round, Yun Ruoyue emerged victorious. She successfully cured a patient who had been repeatedly hiccuping, and he left expressing his profound gratitude. Xiao Feng, upon learning that Yun Ruoyue could earn points by diagnosing patients and doing good deeds, thought of an idea. She obtained poisonous mushrooms and, disregarding Yun Ruoyue's advice, secretly cooked mushroom soup for the maids and servants.
To showcase the deliciousness of the mushroom soup, Xiao Feng took the lead and drank a large bowl, while others followed suit eagerly. Xiao Feng even went to the kitchen to fetch more soup and ran into someone along the way. They collided, and Xiao Feng kindly suggested that the person drink a bowl of mushroom soup. Soon after, Xiao Feng anxiously wanted to see the results of her efforts but discovered that everyone was clutching their stomachs and rushing to the toilet. Yun Ruoyue hurriedly arrived upon hearing the news and learned that they had consumed poisoned mushroom soup. She quickly administered the antidote to everyone.
Despite enduring extreme discomfort in her own stomach, Xiao Feng urgently asked Yun Ruoyue how many points she would gain from this endeavor. Upon investigation, Yun Ruoyue found that not only did Xiao Feng not earn any points, but she was also deducted forty points. Disheartened, Xiao Feng lamented that cheating still resulted in point deductions. However, Xiao Feng suddenly remembered that there was one more person they needed to save, so she and Yun Ruoyue dashed off together.
It was said that Xiao Feng cooked poisonous mushrooms for everyone to eat, causing them all to be poisoned. Chu Xuanchen was extremely angry and went to Yun Ruoyue's room to investigate and punish Xiao Feng. Yun Ruoyue quickly stopped him and took the initiative to take responsibility, claiming it was her own fault. Chu Xuanchen still wanted to vent his anger, but Yun Ruoyue hurriedly pulled him to the dining table, lifting the tablecloth and saying that she would change Chu Xuanchen's taste. There were four plates of dishes on the table, and the food inside looked appetizing in terms of appearance, aroma, and taste.
After hearing Yun Ruoyue's introduction, Chu Xuanchen was eager to taste the food. In the short time Yun Ruoyue was away, he had already devoured a lot. When Yun Ruoyue returned and saw him, Chu Xuanchen felt very embarrassed. Encouraged by Yun Ruoyue, Chu Xuanchen even wanted to personally cook. The servants of the mansion came to watch the commotion upon learning about it. Seeing Yun Ruoyue and Chu Xuanchen sticking together all day, Nangong Rou couldn't help but feel annoyed. She boredly played the piano to pass the time. When the Jin Wangfei (Princess Consort) learned about it, she sent a fragrance that could induce infatuation to Nangong Rou.
The Jin Wangfei mysteriously said that with this fragrance, Chu Xuanchen would never be able to leave Nangong Rou. Yun Ruoyue wanted to go out for a stroll, but her identity as the Lijing Wangfei (Royal Consort) made her feel restricted. Thinking back to the last time she dressed as a man and went out freely, Yun Ruoyue wanted to replicate that, but she was caught by Chu Xuanchen after he discovered it. The two of them tussled in the room, and Xiao Feng and Mo Li anxiously stood outside, eavesdropping on the commotion, fearing that their masters would suffer.
Yun Ruoyue was trapped in the house by Chu Xuanchen and couldn't go out. She anxiously paced back and forth in the room when suddenly she discovered a secret room in Chu Xuanchen's bedroom. Yun Ruoyue was very surprised and was about to take a closer look when Chu Xuanchen intercepted her. Yun Ruoyue used this as leverage, and in order to prevent her from revealing his secret, Chu Xuanchen had to reach an agreement with Yun Ruoyue. She would keep his secret, and Chu Xuanchen would help her disguise herself as a man and go out to practice medicine to earn points.
After reaching the agreement, Chu Xuanchen personally taught Yun Ruoyue the essentials of disguising as a man and acted as a model for her, selecting clothes. He even took out a special makeup kit to help Yun Ruoyue with her disguise. When he was helping her attach a fake beard, they were very close to each other, and they could hear each other's breath. Both of them suddenly felt a bit embarrassed. Once everything was ready, Yun Ruoyue disguised herself as a young man and went to apply for a position at a medical clinic. However, because she modified the prescription that had been used by the doctor for a long time, they didn't hire her.
While she was feeling distressed, Xiao Feng had a clever idea and suggested that they become their own bosses. Yun Ruoyue felt that it was a good idea since she was determined to work at a medical clinic, thinking like a laborer. So, the two of them decided to go for it. They set up a street stall, advertising their medical services. At first, people didn't trust them, and they didn't have a single patient throughout the day. Xiao Feng started shouting on the street, offering free medical consultations, and suddenly there was a bustling crowd. People instantly formed long queues in front of them.
