[Strong heroine + doted-on darling with a secret identity + adorable child + genius physician and poison expert + reborn to crush her enemies]
Everyone despised her as a good-for-nothing, foolish princess. Her own family tore her apart inside and out, and she died by the sword.
Reborn, she wielded medicine and gu magic in one hand and commanded beasts with the other, crushing everyone who had ever bullied her.
Useless?
The famous physician, the head of the merchant guild, and the master weaponsmith all had to call her a great teacher.
She trounced scumbags and beat up wicked women, carving her way through every obstacle. But then a cold, wicked prince cornered her against a wall. “Did you steal my child?”
She gave him a scornful smile, a poisoned needle glinting between her fingers. “Take one more step and you’ll be dead.”
The two children: “If you want our mother, you’ll have to get past us first!”
So-so.
