Shen Hua, the daughter of the Shen family that ran an embroidery business in Fengzhou, was pampered since she was a child. She had a pretty face and smooth, fair skin. Unfortunately, her body was weak, and she'd run out of breath after walking merely a few steps. She didn't have very long to live.

The Shen family gradually faced its downfall, and her wedding was delayed again and again.

Cui Yun, the eldest son of the Cui family, was a noble and stern man. He was entrusted to look after Shen Hua. Why not just marry her? He thought.

Since Shen Hua reincarnated, she had focused all her attention on the embroidery business. She hoped to change her life and regain her former glory.

When she heard about Cui Yun's decision to marry her, she fainted on the spot.

After waking up, she turned him down with tears in her eyes. "I don't have very long to live. I don't want to waste your time."

Cui Yun was very considerate. "It's not a big deal. I know you feel touched, but there's no need to cry. Since you already depend on the Cui family, you might as well just become part of us. After you die from your sickness, I'll even hold a grand funeral for you."

Shen Hua felt hopeless. But I'm only pretending to be sick!
***
Cui Yun had many younger female cousins.

Many of them had confessed their feelings for him, but he turned all of them down nonchalantly.

"It's getting late. Please look after yourself."

Shen Hua had never met such a clueless man when it came to romance.

One night, while she was on her way home, she took a shortcut and passed by the Cui family's courtyard. Cui Yun stopped her.

He was standing near the entrance, and his sleeves danced to the wind.

"It's cold outside. Would you like to come in and stay for a while?"

Have You Written Your Will Today?

The pharmacist at the consultation desk was dozing off. Hearing the commotion, he hazily looked in the direction of the sound.


His medical skills were not proficient, merely an apprentice not yet fully trained. Usually, he would just perform basic diagnostics or fill prescriptions at the counter.


However, the appearance of Shen Hua startled him, causing him to quickly rise. He anxiously called out loudly towards the back room.


"Master! Please come quickly, the snoring is deafening, and there's a lady here in poor condition."


Saying this, he helped Shen Hua sit down.


The pharmacist smiled apologetically, "The year's end is near, every household is busy preparing for the New Year. Ordinary folks tend to save on small injuries and pains to afford better celebrations. Our Ci'an Hall has been rather quiet because of this."


Continuing, he quickly added, "But don't let the quietness fool you; my master's medical skills are renowned throughout Fengzhou City."
