You Are the Only Cure I Need

The Qin family head dies before thirty. That is what doctors have told Qin Shanglu since he was a boy, and the family runs on the expectation of it. Lu Chaoyan is the second daughter of a household of Western-trained physicians, and on her own she has learned traditional Chinese medicine, a skill her own family refuses to recognize in her. Her uncle is in prison on a false charge. To get the case reopened, Lu Chaoyan takes the post of Qin Shanglu's personal physician. She uses his position and connections to work against her own family's interests, treating him with needles and decoctions while she gathers what she needs. The case is overturned and her uncle is released. Over the months of daily treatment the two of them grow attached to each other. One day Qin Shanglu tells her he has a sickness of the heart, that thinking of her leaves him with no appetite for tea or food, and asks what cure there is for it. Lu Chaoyan writes him a prescription. Take Chaoyan as the medicine, one dose for life, and the lovesickness will be resolved.
