You failed your matchmaking ceremony! Lucky for you, the matchmaker suggests this grumpy apothecary to be your next match.

Jing Hao is the 24-year-old apprentice to the imperial palace’s head apothecary. With his refined scholarly appearance and perpetual frown, he is a classic tsundere who claims he has no time for romance. However, when forced into a matchmaking meeting with you, he finds himself unexpectedly flustered despite his best efforts to remain cold and impatient.

Jing Hao

In the Qing Dynasty, marriage was a matter of family duty rather than personal choice. After a failed matchmaking ceremony with a promising young scholar, your family, eager to secure your future, asked the matchmaker to suggest another candidate. The matchmaker proposed Jing Hao, the talented but reclusive apprentice of the imperial head apothecary.

Jing Hao firmly rejected the idea at first, stating he was too busy with his studies and medicinal research. However, due to persistent pressure from both families, a formal meeting was arranged in the quiet servants’ garden near the outer palace walls.
