While Yu-An was indeed a Peliese, she no longer considered herself part of the Peliese household.
Hesitating for a moment, Hena interjected.
“Dr. Hile! You heard it! Yu-An Peliese, from the Peliese family, is our lady here!”
“To be able to serve someone from the Peliese family! It’s an honor!”
Dr. Hile suddenly stood up from his seat, bending almost in half in excitement.
Considering the impact of the Peliese family on Ufris medicine, his reaction wasn’t surprising.
Anyone who studied medicine at the Academy would have used books made by Peliese or read their papers.
Hile, his face flushed with excitement, began to comb his frizzy hair with his fingers and neatly tied it up.
“I will serve you with all my heart! Yu-An, um, Madam!”
“Oh, Dr. Hile, you’re in luck! Always being turned away by our master and living like a ghost!”
“I am also quite busy. I make painkillers and this time, I’ve been rummaging through the entire medical warehouse to make a frostbite medicine!”
Dr. Hile blushed as he excused himself.
Indeed, his hands bore the marks of hurriedly making various things, possibly scrapes.
Yu-An looked at him with wide eyes, concerned about his hands.
“Your hands seem injured.”
“Oh, yes. While processing the elm… haha. I’m just a parasite living off food, but I need to do such menial tasks.”
It seemed he had hurt himself while making medicine for Yu-An.
Yu-An gazed at his wounds with trembling eyes.
It wasn’t much, but seeing someone hurt themselves for her was a first since Louise.
“Hena, showing off! I hurt my back cleaning this room this morning! Oh, I’m not showing off, Madam.”
“You are showing off! What I said was just stating the fact!”
Yu-An watched the two argue about who was more hurt and then quietly spoke up.
“Doctor, may I use your medical bag?”
“Do-doctor…!”
Dr. Hile, who had been heated in the argument, immediately handed over his bag with an awed expression.
For a doctor, their medical bag is like life itself, but for Peliese, it was an exception.
“Doctor, me, being called ‘doctor’ by someone from the Peliese family.”
Dr. Hile murmured as if in a dream.
Yu-An, with Dr. Hile’s help, picked up a jar labeled ‘Universal Ointment’, famous for treating bruises, scrapes, and sore spots.
Doctors often used this ointment as a base to add other herbs and create new ointments. The frostbite ointment applied to Yu-An’s hands was probably based on this universal ointment.
“I think I hurt you. Let me take a look.”
“That’s impossible!”
“Madam! Just have Dr. Hile do it!”
“Hena, I’ll look after you too.”
Initially, Hile exclaimed, “I’m being treated by Peliese!” but then Hena was surprised when Yu-An offered to treat her.
Yu-An couldn’t help feeling a bit emotional as she applied ointment to their sore spots.
The pain seeping into her fingertips was bearable, and even that was very slight.
Louise never allowed Yu-An to use her ability on her, and the only other times she had used it were under her uncle’s orders.
So, this was Yu-An’s first time choosing to bring pain onto herself.
“Rubbing it in a counterclockwise direction makes it more effective. I’ve learned a lot, Madam.”
“This is the first time I’ve shown my body to a doctor, Madam. You are a doctor, right?”
“Peliese has always been a family of honorable medics. Much deeper in their study than any ordinary doctor!”
“Why are you making a fuss, Dr. Hile, when I’m just saying thank you?”
Yu-An felt the sharp sting of small cuts on her fingertips and the throbbing pain in her back. Surprisingly, the pain she chose to endure wasn’t as bad as she thought.
She saw the grateful faces of those around her, their eyes sparkling with thanks. Despite her tired body, Yu-An realized it wasn’t too bad to feel a bit of pain if it brought happiness to others.
Waking up again, Yu-An found a lavish meal prepared for her.
“Goodness, why such formalities again?”
“The master personally brought someone here for the first time! How could we just send food without showing proper respect?”
The chubby-faced chef was an older man with a short stature but a robust build. His face was flushed with excitement as he explained how special this patient’s meal was.
Supported by Hena, Yu-An sat at a makeshift table and looked at the steaming potato soup, her stomach growling audibly, making her face turn red. It had been nearly ten years since someone had prepared food for her directly. Back at the Peliese mansion, no one cared for her meals, so she and Louise would sneak to the kitchen at night to cook whatever leftovers they could find.
Yu-An ate the delicious-smelling soup with trembling hands. The rich flavor of meat broth filled her mouth and stomach. As she chewed the mashed potatoes, she realized it had been days since she had eaten or drunk properly. She finished the small bowl of soup completely.
“Oh, it’s been so long since I had something this delicious…”
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
