Ice Heart, Poisonous Shadow

In the Great Zhou dynasty, during the third year of the Tianqi reign, Shen Qinghuan, a miracle doctor whose mastery of poison is unmatched, is framed and dies with her name in disgrace. Reborn, she returns with a body blessed with seven exquisite orifices, vowing to uncover the shocking secrets behind the snake-parasite plague. Yet the threads of fate bind her tightly to Xiao Yanchi, the regent burdened by the curse of the Ice Silkworm Palace.

When her poisonous blood mingles with the mysterious ice patterns on his body, a twin-bond pact quietly takes effect. Snake parasites, blood pacts, Soul-Calling Incense... Behind the layers of mysteries lies a century-old feud between the Medicine King Sect and the Ice Silkworm Palace. Shen Qinghuan wields poison as a blade, carving through the schemes of the court and harem, only to discover that her body of seven exquisite orifices is the key to unraveling everything.

The poisons I brew even charge interest on imperial edicts. Wherever her silver needle points, poison powder appears, exposing the Crown Prince's faction for the hypocrites they are. He sweeps the land with his soul-commanding flute, and the Blood Eagle Guards arrive through rivers of blood to protect her. When the seal on the Five Poisons Pearl dissolves within the blood pact, the snake parasites return to their source, and the truth of their twin lifelines finally comes to light.

In this plot within a plot, this scheme within a scheme, who laid out this grand game? As medicine and political intrigue intertwine, the Poison Empress's schemes are only just beginning.
