[Medicine + an emperor who can read minds + playing dumb while hiding one’s strength + powerful backers + satisfying read + System]
During the battle between immortals and demons, the Demon Lord uses a little spirit from the Hundred Herbs to shield himself from the Buddha’s radiance. The hundred-year-old spirit is struck so hard that its soul leaves its body, and it falls into the mortal world.
Feeling guilty, the Buddha promises the little spirit that if, during its time in the human realm, it helps a good-for-nothing emperor eliminate corrupt officials and rebels and restore the troubled Nanmu Kingdom to prosperity, it will be allowed to become a demon and then ascend to immortality. The Buddha also gives it a bracelet, a System, to help it along.
The Hundred Herbs spirit enters the body of Su Nianci, an unpopular female physician. When she sees the dazzling selection of medical books in the System’s shop, she is thrilled. Having always loved medicine, she rolls up her sleeves and gets to work, eager to earn System coins.
When she meets Emperor Zhu Zhe, she smugly murmurs to herself, [I only made this Ghost Dove Poison for practice. How did it end up in the mortal world?]
The good-for-nothing emperor: “...She says she made a poison that no one else in the world can cure just for practice?”
Su Nianci: [“This plague isn’t ordinary rat fever. Judging by the symptoms, it seems more like the work of a mythical beast.”]
Song Zhe: “A mythical beast?”
The people: “The emperor is wise and mighty. He’s truly remarkable.”
Song Zhe: “Flower of the Bewitching Gu?”
The general: “Thank you, Your Majesty, for saving my life!”
The Empress Dowager: “Since when has the emperor been so capable? Wasn’t that poison supposed to be incurable? Why does he seem livelier by the day? Even his mind seems sharper!”
