The Marine Corps’ finest female scout and a gifted doctor skilled in both Chinese and Western medicine is betrayed by a teammate during a mission and falls into the vast sea.
Against all odds, she survives and transmigrates. Nangong Ling becomes the Second Miss of the Nangong household, someone everyone thinks they can push around.
She plans to use her medical skills to make a fortune, but instead runs into the cold-faced prince, who becomes a thorn in her side.
The court is rife with intrigue, and the prince’s actions are shrouded in mystery. Ever since Nangong Ling became his caged songbird, she has been unable to escape this quagmire.
Frame me? I’ll make you suffer in silence!
Bully me? I’ll make you drop a rock on your own foot!
Insult me? I’ll show you what a real tongue-lashing feels like!
The once-timid Second Miss has become a ruthless princess consort. She’s an expert at crushing scoundrels, taking down fake sweethearts, and delivering face-slapping comeuppances. Everyone flees in terror, crying all the way.
Only the prince knows that his princess consort is quite the actress, too.
“Your Highness, I’m so delicate and weak. I’m not suited to having children. Why don’t you visit one of the other ladies?”
“Consort, have you forgotten that you once beat a cow to death?”
“…” She gives him a menacing look.
“Fine, fine. You’re weak, then. Send word that since the princess consort is weak, I’ll spend every night here to keep her company and help her ‘exercise’!”
“But… wouldn’t that break the rules?!”
“Break the rules? Everything I want to do is within the rules!!”
