After transmigrating overnight, she becomes an abandoned consort of the previous dynasty, imprisoned in the new emperor’s cold palace, with a son thrown in as well.
It’s hell difficulty from the start, but luckily, her medical space came with her.
Yao Shuyi decides to make the best of things, raise her son well, and treat the sick along the way.
By a twist of fate, the refined young man she meets in the imperial garden turns out to be the current emperor, and he transfers her to the Imperial Medical Bureau.
Fine, then. She’ll be a dutiful court official and earn a few taels of silver. But who could have guessed that the emperor would start looking at her differently?
Yao Shuyi has no intention of wasting her life trapped in the imperial palace, so she plans to escape. Her son immediately packs his bags and thumps his chest as he promises, “Mother, wherever you go, I’ll go with you.”
Just then, the emperor, who is usually so gentle with her, reveals his true colors. His eyes red and his voice icy, he snaps, “You can do whatever you want, but you are not allowed to leave me.”
