[An actress who pretends to be a lazy couch potato vs. a gentle, cunning, sickly crown prince]
Li Qiaqia was an heir to an ancient medical tradition, skilled in both healing and poison. Then, in a single day, she transmigrated into the Xuanchao Dynasty as the foolish daughter of the Minister of Justice.
Li Qiaqia: Great, I can lie flat.
Li Xian: Then why are you secretly stealing silver ingots?
Li Qiaqia: ...You probably won’t believe this, but I needed them to do acupuncture and treat the emperor.
Li Chengping: Someone in the palace has been poisoned again. What a headache...
Li Qiaqia: I know how to handle this one, Father. I’m on my way.
Li Qiaqia: Mother, that scholar is so handsome~
Madam Li: Be good, Qiaqia. He comes from a poor family, and you’d suffer if you married him. How about... we bring a husband into our family instead?
Li Qiaqia: He looks like he’s about to die. Should I treat him first?
Handsome Scholar: Thank you for saving my life, my lady. I’ll repay your kindness one day.
Li Qiaqia: Wait, why are you leaving? Aren’t you going to marry into our family?!
In the twenty-first year of Xuancheng, Emperor Xuancheng fell gravely ill, and a plague broke out in Jizhou.
The Crown Prince, who had long remained in the Eastern Palace due to his frail health, went to Jizhou in person to provide disaster relief.
Three months into the Jizhou plague, rumors spread through the capital that the emperor had no sons.
The current Crown Prince was supposedly an adopted child.
Emperor Xuancheng died suddenly, leaving behind an edict naming his successor.
The Crown Princess was to be enthroned.
Li Qiaqia: I became the empress?!
