The knowledge gained from the introduction to traditional Chinese medicine not only helped Princess Changle in her daily recovery and upkeep but also helped to convince the imperial physician. The fates of Su Li and Princess Changle were intertwined, and he was determined to find a way to facilitate her recovery.

Princess Changle was overcome by a rush of unspeakable emotions in an instant. Due to the low-quality life potion, her consciousness significantly improved, and she perceived her surroundings much better than before. In prolonged darkness, humans tend to improve their other senses. This heightened awareness made Princess Changle perceive the warmth around her lips with extraordinary clarity. Princess Changle was enraged upon him. She was young and beautiful, and even though she was engaged, she never…

The female officer observed Su Li’s serious demeanor for a moment. Despite his attitude, Su Li was merely a son-in-law in name only. The primary caretaker for Princess Changle was a female officer, with doctors stationed at the princess’s mansion. Su Li’s movements were restricted, and he didn’t even have the authority to decide what to eat for the day. Although, as the magistrate of the princess’s mansion, the female officer was responsible for Princess Changle’s well-being, even if she…

However, Su Li’s point balance was now just above 11,000, which meant that he could only afford to purchase one item at first. After pondering, he decided to prioritize buying a small gift pack of attribute points and a low-quality life potion. The attribute points would help to strengthen his body, so if a product already included them, there was no need to purchase them separately. The low-quality life potion was essential for stabilizing Princess Changle’s health. While there was still plenty of…

Su Li had a restless night, sitting on a small stool and sleeping face down on the bed. He would wake up with a startle at the slightest movement. It was worth noting that furniture such as tables and stools were referred to as “Hu stools” during this era. However, in the Tang Dynasty, the overall sitting posture was still kneeling, so if anyone was hoping to make money by selling tables and stools, you could throw this idea to Timbuktu. The reason why tables and stools became popular in later…

The shame in Princess Changle’s heart went away. No one would want to recall that shameful scene repeatedly if they could distract their attention elsewhere. She couldn’t believe that her own husband was a peasant. Princess Changle felt a significant sense of relief now, inexplicably. It had been a long time since anyone had spoken to her in such a manner. The female officers and servants, who served Princess Changle wholeheartedly, never uttered a word of extraneous dialogue. Every humiliation was…

Su Li took Princess Changle’s small hand into her own once again. As Su Li understood it, a patient in a vegetative state was not entirely unconscious but had a hazy consciousness. Some patients might have a vague sense of their condition, while others could even fully perceive the outside world during certain moments. After experiencing urinary or fecal incontinence, there was a high likelihood that their consciousness was in a clear state. The human body had a certain response to the stimulation of…

Princess Changle gradually became aware of her surroundings. At first, her consciousness was shrouded in darkness. She could not perceive any light or sound and even not sense her own body. Princess Changle was overwhelmed with panic and helplessness, as she was just a 22-year-old girl. The worst part was that she couldn’t even cry or have a hysterical outburst to release her emotions. Her mind was consumed with boundless anxiety and fear, making her unable to calm down. No one could see the turmoil…

When Su Li gazed upon Princess Changle lying on the bed in her stunning red dress on their wedding night, his happiness began to fade away. Despite her extraordinary beauty and her status as one of the most renowned heroines of the Tang Dynasty, it still seemed surreal for Su Li actually to be in her presence. Such an encounter was once only possible within the pages of a novel. Princess Changle was adorned in a red garment, with a complexion resembling that of delicate pink gemstone. Her eyes were…

Su Li had no idea about Li Er’s decision. He was desperate to climb up the social ladder and wanted to earn enough points to return home. The thought of digging for food in the dirt-filled days was unbearable for him. Even if he had known that he was being used for the Wedding-Benediction as a human sacrifice, it would not have made any difference. He had no power to change the situation. Su Li stumbled into the palace in a daze and arranged a wedding date with Princess Changle, who was in a coma. As…
