“How can you call this a minor mistake? I never thought that Count Ferman, responsible for the royal palace’s medical needs, would be so foolish as to not realize how misidentifying herbs could threaten a patient’s life.”
The bespectacled examiner stepped in to scold me.
“Miss Claire, aren’t you being too disrespectful to Count Ferman?”
I glared at him.
It was not only impolite to address me as Miss Claire rather than Countess Hydrangea, but also audacious to criticize my attitude while they couldn’t even properly identify or store herbs, essentially handing out quack licenses.
“It seems the real offense here is yours, not mine. Handing out healer licenses in an examination meant for genuine medical practitioners and then having the audacity to criticize me.”
His jaw trembled as he responded to my accusatory tone.
“What do you mean… quack licenses!”
“Yes, quack licenses. Haven’t you thought about the patients who will suffer more by taking medications prescribed by these so-called healers who don’t even know their herbs?”
“The worst side effects might just be some stomach trouble. Aren’t you being a bit too harsh?”
Of course, the herbs in the exam didn’t have strong toxic properties. Misusing them might at worst cause mild side effects like stomach pain or rashes.
“But just stomach trouble?”
I picked up a herb and shoved it in his face.
“If you mistakenly give this to someone with dehydration symptoms thinking it’s Cukinhen, what do you think will happen? As you said, it might just cause some stomach trouble. Diarrhea, maybe. But have you thought about it? What happens when you add diarrhea to a dehydrated patient?”
“…”
“Accelerated dehydration can worsen the patient’s condition. It could cause hallucinations or seizures. In the worst case, the patient could die. And you call that just some stomach trouble?”
“…”
The room fell silent at my rebuke. He seemed to have never considered how a healer’s wrong diagnosis could seriously endanger a patient.
Ferman sighed deeply and said, “What can you do when only fools come here?”
His dismissive attitude, as if it wasn’t his responsibility, infuriated me.
“If only fools come looking for a healer’s license, then either stop issuing them or actually teach these fools to properly care for patients. Are you just idly hoping a genius healer will come rolling in?”
Ferman smiled in agreement and nodded at my words.
“Yes, yes, you’re absolutely right. I’ve made the greatest mistake. Like you said, I’ve just been sitting back, hoping for someone capable to come along.”
I had expected him to argue or make excuses, but surprisingly, he admitted his fault cleanly. Though irresponsible, he seemed to at least recognize his own errors.
But I was mistaken.
“So, what do you think about this? How about you succeed me as the healer of the royal palace?”
“Insane…”
The word slipped out, not from me, but I too felt the word ‘crazy’ rise to my throat. It was so absurd I couldn’t voice it.
Despite the shocked expressions of both me and the bespectacled examiner, Ferman casually shrugged his shoulders and continued.
“Why not? You’ve proven your skills, and your dedication to patients is evident. Where else could we find someone more suitable than you?”
His face was full of smiles, seemingly intoxicated with the happiness of potentially offloading all his burdens onto me.
They say one is lost for words when faced with utter nonsense… and true to that, I found myself speechless at his proposal.
“Ah, there you are.”
The door opened, and someone entered.
“The Crown Prince?”
‘Ian?’
His unexpected arrival left me blinking in surprise as I looked at him.
‘His complexion has improved.’
At the banquet, he looked almost like a walking corpse, but now his color seemed much healthier. His apparent recovery brought me a sense of relief.

One-line summary: Forced to live stream romance with a top celebrity in a female-dominant world.
Yan Jin transmigrated into a brothel, with a fellow transmigrated junior beside her.
Hearing the obscene words coming from outside, the unfortunate junior covered his ears tightly, his cheeks flushed red, and whispered to comfort her, “Don’t worry, I will definitely help you escape.”
“Don’t worry, I will definitely defend your chastity.” Yan Jin looked at the flawless and delicate features of the unfortunate junior and gently comforted, “Because we have transmigrated into a female-dominant world.”

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.
Research scientist Yan Jin fainted in the lab after working overtime.
Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.
Three days later, neither of them had woken up.
Suddenly, the entire nation discovered that a live streaming app had been forcibly installed on their phones.
Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.
The entire internet was in an uproar.
After the two successfully escaped from the brothel, Yu Shu’s fan group rushed to make a banner and sent it to the hospital overnight.
“Big sister bravely took action to defend the chastity of our idol!”

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
