Not following the expected path? Reborn and unexpectedly married to a demon.

Chu Luo concocted the medicine, but there wasn't time to test it on animals. The best thing to do was to test it on herself so she could know how the medicine would react.

In order to save her life in the prison, she ate too many medicinal herbs. These herbs came from the prison and could resist even the most poisonous ones.

Chu Luo immediately swallowed the medicine powder. At first, she felt her lungs and internal organs start to burn, and her body gradually warmed up.

The fire couldn't be extinguished, and suddenly it cooled down, leaving her feeling icy cold all over.

He coughed up his last mouthful of blood.

It seemed the medicine was not prepared correctly, so Chu Luo quickly swallowed an antidote pill.

Chu Luo mustered her strength and continued preparing the ingredients, then ate them as soon as she finished.

This time, he fainted in his room.

She was awakened by crying, and after fainting, she remained unconscious for half a day and a night.

There were soft sobs outside the room. Chu Luo got up and went out to ask the girls, "What's wrong, sisters? Why are you crying?"

"It seems the young master is not going to make it." These people have been looking after him for many years and wouldn't speak carelessly.

Chu Luo naturally knew that the young master they were talking about was Bai Yu.

They told us that the doctors had been working tirelessly for two days, but the young master's condition was still very bad, and they were at their wits' end.

"The young master told them to stop wasting their time and gave some instructions on what to do next. He would never have done this before."

Chu Luo disregarded everything else, turned around and went back into the house. She thought about the proportions from the previous two prescriptions and recalled all her knowledge of medicine preparation.

After calming herself down, she began the third drug trial.

This time, Chu Luo quickly ate what she had prepared, as time was of the essence.

This time she felt no discomfort, and it seemed as if there was a force flowing through her blood vessels, warming her meridians and internal organs, making her feel very different. The internal energy in her dantian began to gather.

The medicine should be correct. Chu Luo quickly prepared the medicine according to the same proportions as before, took the herbs that had not yet been picked, and rushed to Bai Yu's room.

When they arrived outside, a large crowd had already gathered in the courtyard, their faces solemn and their eyes filled with tears.

Several doctors sat slumped in the courtyard, their eyes blank and empty, looking as if they had lost their souls.

Chu Luo ran into the house. Butler Qin looked decades older and didn't say anything when he saw her.

The old doctor sat quietly by Bai Yu's bedside, watching him.

"Old doctor, take a look at this," Chu Luo said, glancing at Bai Yu's appearance before handing the herbs in the basin to the old doctor.

The old doctor turned around when he heard the sound and looked at the grass. He didn't react for a moment, but after a while, his eyes became more alert.

"This grass grows rather strangely," the old doctor said, picking a leaf, smelling it, and then tasting it.

"Where did you get this herb?" the old doctor asked.

Chu Luo didn't have time to explain further. "Doctor, let's not talk about that now. I have a medicine that Mr. Bai Yu can try. It's made from these herbs."

"No," the doctors nearby snapped, immediately refusing.

"Old Doctor" Chu looked at the old doctor who had tasted the medicine and asked for his opinion.

The old doctor pondered for a moment and said, "I don't know the name of this herb. Although it has some peculiar properties, it doesn't mean it can cure Bai Yu's illness. Bai Yu cannot withstand the slightest harm right now."

Hearing this, Chu Luo understood the logic. She sighed and asked, "Do you have any other ideas?"

Everyone looked at each other, sighing in dismay.

The doctor who had previously spoken ill of the blood donor said, "You don't understand Bai Yu's body. All his medications must be administered with utmost care. If we treat him this way, he might be able to pass away peacefully. But if we administer medication haphazardly, not only is his chance of survival uncertain, but it will also cause him even greater torment."

Butler Qin agreed, his eyes reddening, and said in a hoarse voice, "Miss Chu, you should go back and rest. Young Master has suffered too much."

Butler Qin has been staying by Bai Yu's side for the past two days, and Bai Yu's unbearable groans of pain broke his heart again and again.

His son suffered too much unbearable pain from a young age.

"Please let me try, okay? I know I'm just a young girl, without your experience and medical skills, but I really want him to get better. I've already tried this medicine; it's not poisonous."

Chu Luo wasn't entirely sure herself. She had tried the medicine and found it to be effective and non-toxic, but her constitution was ultimately different from Bai Yu's, so it might not actually work for Bai Yu.

If it doesn't work and she really torments and tortures him, then she's not saving him, but rather repaying kindness with enmity and harming him.

But she held onto a sliver of hope, feeling she should take a gamble and give it a try, otherwise she would regret it for the rest of her life.

Just as everyone was still objecting, Bai Yu's weak voice rang out, "Let her try. It's alright. We've come this far, the outcome doesn't matter."

"But many people want to interrupt."

"You've all worked hard. Please go out first. I want to talk to her," Bai Yu said, looking at everyone in the room.

The others didn't want to go out, but they didn't want to disobey Bai Yu's words, so they had no choice but to leave.

"Young master, I'll stay and keep you company," Butler Qin said, forcing back tears.

"No, Uncle Qin, you should go out too," Bai Yu said weakly.

After they had all left, Bai Yu looked at Chu Luo and forced a smile, saying, "You can take your medicine now."

Chu Luo opened her eyes wide and asked him, "Why did you make me try?"

"I'll tell you after you take your medicine," Bai Yu said gently.

“But I’m not sure if this medicine will cause you more pain, I…” Chu Luo hesitated.

"It's okay, I just wanted to try," Bai Yu reassured Chu Luo.

With red eyes, Chu Luo helped him up, let him lean against her, and fed him the medicine powder.

Chu Luo was afraid he would faint, so she said to him, "Why did you make me try? If it doesn't work, it will hurt a lot."

"Because...because if you don't try, you'll regret it for a long time. My body is already at its limit; I've gotten used to the pain, so it doesn't hurt as much anymore. It won't get any worse now...so bad. Try it, and I won't leave you with...regrets."

Upon hearing this answer, Chu Luo burst into tears.

How could it not hurt? Last time he had an attack, Chu Luo learned from Butler Qin that Bai Yu was particularly good at enduring pain.

His body won't become numb to pain just because he's used to it; on the contrary, the medication will only make him feel the pain more acutely.

He simply learned how not to show off in front of others.

He simply didn't want to leave her with any regrets, so he was willing to endure the pain to test the medicine on her.

"God, please, help him, let him pull through, make the medicine work, okay? He's so good," Chu Luo prayed in her heart again and again.

"I've already asked Uncle Qin to... arrange your departure ship..." Bai Yu told Chu Luo with a light laugh.

Chu Luo noticed that his voice had become louder and his breathing had become more steady. She reached out and took his pulse, and it seemed that he was getting better.

Chu Luo was both delighted and uncertain. When she reached out to check his pulse again, she saw Bai Yu's brows furrowed, his hand clutching his chest, in great pain.

He gritted his teeth and kept silent.

But then he coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Chu Luo's newly risen joy was shattered on the ground.

“How could this happen? How could this happen?”

Chu Luo quickly tried to figure out why she was alright and what was missing from the medicine.

She quickly came to a conclusion, immediately picked up a dagger and slashed her wrist, putting the blood into the medicine bowl.

She picked up the bowl of medicine and poured it down Bai Yu's throat, who was in a daze.

Bai Yu drank half and spat out the other half, so Chu Luo continued to feed him.

Chu Luo fed him once and then took his pulse once.

After feeding her countless times, Chu Luo was still cutting open her wounds to bleed her, and the amount of blood on the ground was frightening.

The people outside smelled the strong stench of blood and broke down the door.

Everyone saw the blood on the ground and the dagger Chu Luo was holding with her back to them.

They all thought he was going to harm Bai Yu and wished they could tear Chu Luo to pieces, so they raised their weapons.
