(Y/n) liked to make herbal medicine from the ingredients she found when walking in the woods. It was her hobby.
She even had a medical herb garden at her home, she promised herself that she would help people when they felt bad.
But she would never get involved with illegal trade.
Nope, no thank you, not happening.
The (h/c) female's hometown respected her as their unofficial Apothecary since she was so knowledgeable about medicine made from plants, she even made some beauty products for the people who needed their skin conditions fixed.

Xiao wang, a drug dealer.
He has been getting increasingly lonely.
It used to not hurt him to see other people with their soulmates but now? He was jealous as hell, he wanted his by his side yesterday.
He tried to fill the void with the drugs he made but got really sick, he even ate something bad during the munchies.
He had a bad tummy ache and a headache, but he needed medicine and he sure as hell was not going to a doctor.

(Y/n) was in her garden picking medical herbs when she saw a shiny black car roll by, it looked expensive. The owner must have been rich, what where they doing here in this small and pretty poor town?
The people who got out where not of the area and sounded like they were from an Asian country.
She watched them before going back inside her home to make some ointment for the children that came to her covered in scratches from playing in a bramble patch.
The small boys waited as she ground up the herbs and the aloe, they held still as she rubbed the ointment on the cuts.
"Now stay away from the brambles.", she said sternly.
The boys nodded and began to leave, "wait, I need my payment."
the little boys stopped and ran back to hug her, "good boys, now go back."
The boys laughed and ran to rejoin their friends as they played in the playgrounds, the (e/c) eyed female looked up as the car pulled up to her home.
Two males exited the car and helped out a man who had on a traditional Chinese outfit and sunglasses, he needed help to get up the steps.

"Can we see (y/n) (L/n)? Our boss has gotten sick.", one of the men asked, "we can pay for anything."
"Set him on the couch there. I'll be there in a bit.", She replied and put the ointment into a bottle.
(Y/n) walked up to the male who was laying on the couch, he had the physical signs of being in a drug altered state.
The hopeful sign was that he seemed to be recovering from his drugged state, but he needed water and a bit of food to help him.
The young woman picked up his hand to check his pulse and hydration level, his hand was cold and pale. He did not look like he was taking good care of himself.
"Why did you let him get to this state? He could die if he continues this.", (y/n) scolded the males who brought their boss in, "I need his name."
"Xiao.", the hoarse voice of the male on the couch caught her attention, "if they stopped me, I'd kill them."

(Y/n) flicked his head, "that's stupid. If you don't get better, you will die."
The Chinese male huffed, "and you care?"
"Yes actually. Your soulmate will too.", The woman's words met his ears and he started paying attention, "I'm sure a handsome guy like you will have a lovely Soulmate waiting for him. If you die, you will not meet her and it will be sad."
"What about you?", Xiao asked, "don't you have one?"
"I don't have any marks. I never found one.", (y/n) replied, "so I'll surrender to the role of helping others to find theirs and healing."
She spoke to the male as she bustled around gathering ingredients for his meal and medicine, Xiao watched her with interest.
She caught his attention with pure bluntness and being truthful with him, most ladies that he met before were fake as hell and wanted his money.
She was genuinely concerned with his condition and wanted him to find his soulmate, he never heard of someone who did not have some form of mark for their soulmate.
If she did not find hers, it must be somewhere she can't see. She did not have any mirrors in her house he noticed.

The woman gave him the medicine and food, the tea she made for him smelled nice as well.
"Take that and rest. You can stay here overnight because I need to check on you regularly.", (y/n) told Xiao.
The Chinese male waved at his men to dismiss them, "thank you."
"You're welcome.", the female gave him a smile, "just rest and get better."
She walked to the kitchen to get herself something to drink, she came back with some tea and sat next to Xiao.
"Now that we are working on your physical condition, we need to talk about your mental condition.", the (h/c) haired female spoke, "Starting with your soulmate marker."
Xiao was more than happy to roll up his sleeve and show the mark.
A dragon pearl surrounded by magic clouds.
"It's beautiful.", (y/n) smiled, "I've never seen one like that before."
"I've heard of someone having one that looked like a real diamond.", Xiao chuckled, "those two were eccentric as hell."
The female giggled, "that does sound like they would be."

For the first time in a long time, Xiao felt warm and a sense of friendship with someone.
They continued to speak about each other's life until it was late, "I'm sorry Xiao but I'll have to continue to speak tomorrow."
"Goodnight!", the Chinese male chirped and drank the sweet herbal tea the female gave him, he waited until she was in her room to get up and follow.
He was going to help her find her soulmate as payment for helping him, he peeked in her room as she was taking off her shirt.
A small sharp inhale is what he made when he saw it.
The dragon pearl in the middle of her shoulder blades, a perfect match to his.
That's why she never saw it, nobody could see it there with her hair covering it.

(Y/n) felt a pair of strong arms wrap around her and a head rest on her shoulder, "Xiao, I did not know you were a perv. Get out."
"No.", he whined, "not when I found the pearl."
"What?"
"Between your shoulderblades. Your hair covered it.", he explained, "you're my soulmate."
(Y/n) turned to look at his face, his eyes showed he told the truth.
"We need to set some rules first.", (y/n) scolded, "first off, I don't want to be a part of your drug gang. Yes I know that you're a drug lord."
Xiao just sat quietly as she listed out the ground rules, when she got to the end he shut her up with a kiss.
"You worry too much (y/n)", The Chinese male smiled, "I'll take care of you now, and you can take care of me my Apothecary."
