Yes, she died. She died in the year she went to the Sheng Kingdom for a political marriage, for her country and for the greater good.
Liu Xihe, a modern surgeon who was born into this world, has lived here for eighteen years. She is the legitimate daughter of the prime minister of the Xiao Kingdom and the last disciple of the two revered masters of medicine and poison. She was a heaven-blessed daughter, born to a life of privilege.
But her extraordinary gifts became a curse. To bring the hundred thousand soldiers of the Liu family under his control, the ruler of the Xiao Kingdom sent her to the Sheng Kingdom for a political marriage.
While she was away, he disguised his men as bandits and slaughtered the entire Liu family. Then he used the Sheng Kingdom to have her shot dead.
If she could live again, she would make everyone who had harmed her repay her a hundredfold, a thousandfold.
If she could find no worthy ruler for this great land, she wouldn’t mind becoming that ruler herself.
Perhaps this chaotic age was too absurd, and her plea too sincere.
She truly was reborn!
