Gu Yaoyao, a top-notch pharmacist, accidentally fell into the sea during a mission and became the foolish eldest daughter of the Gu family.
Outside the manor, villains circle, intent on wiping out the Gu family root and branch. Inside, schemers plot to use a strange poison to harm her and seize power in her name...
Gu Yaoyao: With such a huge Gu family, how did it fall to one foolish girl like me to uphold its reputation?
Fine. Once I’ve cured the poison, I’ll deal with every last one of you monsters!
When schemers make trouble, she uses clever plans to root them out. And a strange poison? Is that supposed to stump a top-notch pharmacist like her?
Not only does Gu Yaoyao thrive in the Gu household, she also earns the favor of the Grand Empress Dowager and gets to study medicine at the Imperial Medical Academy. From then on, she sets out on the glorious path to becoming a renowned physician...
The only real nuisance is her injured, lame fiancé-to-be. She saved his life, so why won’t he leave her alone?
