Summary
Jiang Yu has lived as a man so she can practice medicine in a town where women are expected to stay out of public life. When a wounded stranger in a red dress collapses at her back gate, she takes him in. Lu Jing has escaped a prince’s household and carries secrets he barely dares to name. As they grow close, another injured woman arrives, bringing his past and Jiang Yu’s hidden identity into danger. To keep healing others, Jiang Yu must decide whether she can live openly as herself—and whether she will let Lu Jing stay by her side.
