In the modern world, she was a top genius doctor in her field, young and accomplished. As soon as she returned home, several top-tier hospitals competed to recruit her. But on her way to work, a speeding truck came straight at her. The two vehicles collided, leaving a horrific scene.
When she woke again, she had transmigrated to ancient times. The woman whose body she now inhabited had been a physician herself, and was already engaged.
Her fiancé had gone to the capital to sit the imperial examinations and passed at the top. Looking at the promising young man before her, she had already decided to stay here and build a good life.
But what he said next struck her as utterly ridiculous.
“I can marry you, but you can’t be my legal wife. You can only be my concubine.”
She nearly laughed. She had only reluctantly agreed to be his legal wife because he wasn’t bad-looking, and now he actually had the nerve to ask her to be his concubine?
Was she so unwanted? With her stunning looks and peerless medical skills, were all the men in the world dead?
So he broke off their engagement, and she became the laughingstock of the whole town.
But she didn’t care. If she was going to marry, she would marry the most powerful man around.
You conceited fool, just wait until you get what’s coming to you!
Good. The protagonist is realistically portrayed, not fantastical. It gives the reader something to keep reading.
