I am not fierce enough to stand firm.

In her previous life, she was a top medical student in the medical school. But upon reincarnation, she became the daughter of a concubine. How could Liang Yan be willing to accept such a fate? She supported her mother, raised her younger brother, utilized all her knowledge to open a medical clinic, and helped the world by treating illnesses and eliminating evil. Dealing with cunning and calculating people, she fought fearlessly and enjoyed exposing their true colors. The grand mansion held deep secrets, and people's hearts were treacherous. The official world was filled with hidden dangers. Just as she was flourishing in her battles and thriving in her medical profession, rumors spread that the exceptionally handsome Crown Prince, who had no interest in women, unexpectedly interfered. The Crown Prince pressed her down on the consultation desk in her clinic, a smile playing at the corner of his mouth as his eyes turned ice-cold. "Liang, the divine physician, enlighten me. Why is it that I have an aversion to all women in the world, except for you?" Liang Yan, with an expression of disgust, sidestepped his question: "I have long heard of your hidden illness, Crown Prince. Could it be that you prefer men instead?"
