    Summary

    Mei Shu Li had one rule for herself: be no one's.
    She chose a village at the edge of nowhere. She treated everyone equally. She stood in waterfalls at midnight and let the gift that had followed her since birth finally, mercifully, go quiet.
    Then Xue Yang walked into her clinic with old damage in his meridians and the specific arrogance of someone who had never been told no by anything that mattered.
    He came back. He kept coming back. And then one evening he said you're coming with me and took her before she could finish deciding what she thought about that.
    She stabbed him three days later. He laughed, threw her over his shoulder, and she never tried again — though she told herself for months it was strategy.
    She tells everyone he's her husband. Everyone believes her. He has never corrected a single person.
