How great it would be if Su Li gave me a massage every day!

Other than its usefulness in the daily rehabilitation maintenance of Princess Changle, the enlightenment from the general theory of traditional Chinese medicine has another purpose.

To persuade the imperial physician!

Su Li's fate is tied to Princess Changle's.

He will surely look for ways to help Princess Changle recover.

For instance, in determining food, or customizing a series of massages and daily body care.

All of these belong to modern rehabilitation methods. While Su Li knows what helps in recovery, he cannot convince the imperial physicians of this era.

But now, with the enlightenment from the medical theories, reinforced by a vast foundation of traditional Chinese medicine and combined with some modern rehabilitation methods, Su Li found that everything can be explained from a TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) perspective.

For example, in the dietary supplement theory, it's mentioned that solely relying on light porridge for health isn't advisable. A light diet simply means avoiding overly greasy and heavily flavored foods, not just consuming porridge and water.

For instance, in some medical books, they mention that paralyzed people often have bedsores because of constant pressure and blocked energy channels...

In essence, modern care for vegetative state patients can be found in medical journals.

However, vegetative state conditions are rare, and people of this era haven't completely distinguished between vegetative state and coma. Thus, there aren't specialized methods for vegetative state care; only bits and pieces can be found in various medical books.

Su Li's cleverness lies in his understanding that the vegetative state is a yet-to-be-defined medical condition. Knowing its specifics and daily care, finding solutions becomes much easier.

If he can convince the imperial doctor, wouldn't the daily maintenance of Princess Changle be undertaken by himself?

After the enlightenment, Su Li might not be able to tackle complex cases, but for daily maintenance, he is more than capable.

Wouldn't it allow him to be closer to her, not just holding hands, but in more intimate ways?

Massage, mobilizing the joints... Princess Changle cannot resist, and he would assist in all these activities, making physical contact inevitable.

Taking Princess Changle out for some sun once in a while seems quite reasonable.

Even if they don't share a bed or have more intimate interactions, even if it's not 24/7, Su Li could earn more points every day.

With thousands of extra points every day, that's hundreds of thousands a year!

Not only can he stabilize Princess Changle's condition, but also earn more points; isn't it a win-win?

Inside the consciousness space...

Princess Changle's thoughts were chaotic.

A young girl who just came of age, who has never had intimate contact with the opposite sex.

Her husband, whom she has never met, is holding her hand and gently kissing her lips.

Princess Changle felt tumultuous inside, thinking Su Li to be frivolous and a playboy, yet she didn't hate him.

Because Su Li spoke to her as if she were a person.

Even though her husband seems to have quirks, always holding her hand.

"Doesn't he despise me?" Such a thought suddenly crossed Princess Changle's mind, as her emotions swelled.

Su Li brought her the greatest comfort at her lowest point.

Even though they haven't met.

But they are legally husband and wife.

"I am married..." Suddenly, Princess Changle felt it inappropriate to call Su Li a playboy.

He is her husband, recognized by both their families.

But would he like her?

She can't move... and he was forced...

Overwhelmed by her insecurities, Princess Changle was distracted by Su Li's actions, feeling anxious.

Unable to move, she felt entirely dominated by her husband, Su Li.

"He wouldn't..." Princess Changle wanted to protect her body, but she couldn't move.

Su Li admired the beautiful feet in his hands. Without any improper thoughts, he began applying the medical knowledge he'd gained.

Princess Changle only felt her foot being enveloped by Su Li's hands."

This passage seems to focus on the intricate relationship dynamics and challenges between the characters Su Li and Princess Changle. The essence of the story revolves around the care and rehabilitation of Princess Changle, who seems to be in a vegetative state or a similar condition, and Su Li's endeavors to use both traditional and modern methods to aid her.

"Why is he grabbing my foot?" Princess Changle thought Su Li was up to no good. However, all Su Li did was to remove her socks, hold her foot, and didn't make any further move, which aroused Princess Changle's curiosity.

"His hand is so big..." Princess Changle felt that Su Li's hand was even larger than her foot.

"Is he massaging my foot?" Princess Changle felt Su Li applying pressure, and a mixture of sourness, pain, and pleasure spread from the sole of her foot.

Princess Changle had seen her mother massaging her father's feet in the past. Her father always had an expression that was both comfortable and uncomfortable. Princess Changle thought if she could show her expression right now, it would probably be similar to her father's.

"So itchy..."

"It hurts..."

"So ticklish!"

Princess Changle felt both pain and pleasure.

Professional medical massage primarily feels uncomfortable during the process rather than just being comfortable.

However, with the indescribable sensation, Princess Changle also felt that the blockage and discomfort in her foot seemed to become softer.

"It seems that my husband isn't someone who would take advantage of others in their vulnerable moments..." At first, Princess Changle was worried that Su Li would take advantage of her while she was in a vulnerable state, but it turned out he was just giving her a massage.

"But wait... he also kissed me..." Princess Changle recalled Su Li's dry and soft lips.

With that indescribable sensation, Princess Changle let her mind wander. She couldn't express her feelings, couldn't speak or shout. If she didn't divert her attention, it would be unbearable.

"His hands are so rough..."

"And there are calluses..."

Princess Changle thought to herself.

Su Li was fully focused on massaging Princess Changle, from her feet to her calves...

Massage and movement are necessary. Otherwise, the muscles will atrophy, and even if a comatose person wakes up, they won't be able to move, which is almost the same as not waking up.

"It feels so good..."

"It would be great if he massages me every day!"

Having been bedridden for over twenty days, Princess Changle wasn't fully conscious, and her feelings weren't very clear.

When she became fully conscious, all she felt was that her body was stiff and uncomfortable.

However, wherever Su Li massaged, that part magically became relaxed and lively.

But...

All good things come to an end...

With the sound of the door opening, the head maid who had gone out to call the imperial physician returned with him. They saw Princess Changle's bare feet hanging off the bed and Su Li sitting on a low stool, holding her calf.

"Su Li, what are you doing!"
