Needing powerful backing to protect herself, she entered the imperial palace as the attending physician of a terminally ill emperor, who suffered from a rare disease everyone avoided for unknown reasons…
“Congratulations, Your Majesty. Your symptoms are clearly improving.”
“Clearly improving?”
At news of his progress, the emperor’s expression looked somewhat suspicious.
“Let me tell you something, Lena.”
“……”

When he failed to find that partner, a madness would manifest—what was known as “partner pain.”
That was the true identity of the “disease” the emperor had been suffering from.
I’ve never heard of such a disease!
“S-so what you’re saying is that I cured that so-called disease…”
“The long, tiresome waiting has finally come to an end.”
