I transmigrated to an unfamiliar era after an accident. When I woke up, I discovered that I had become Zhen Huan's half sister, Huanbi.
I stared wide-eyed at the clear-featured yet stubborn-looking face in the bronze mirror, stunned and confused. I, Su Jin, a medical prodigy from the modern world, had actually transmigrated into Empresses in the Palace and become the ill-fated Huanbi?
I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself. Since I was here, I had to accept this new identity and do my best to survive.
"Miss Huanbi, what's wrong?" a palace maid asked with concern.
I came back to myself and managed a faint smile. "Nothing. I just have a bit of a headache."
Court etiquette was tedious and complicated. I had to be careful with every step, lest I give myself away.
One day, word spread through the palace that a eunuch was gravely ill and the imperial physicians were at a loss. I had an idea and decided to take a look.
At the bedside, I saw that the eunuch's face was pale and his breathing faint. I took his pulse, already forming a plan.
"You may all leave. I'll treat him," I said gravely.
Everyone exchanged glances, but in the end they did as I asked. I took out the silver needles I always carried and expertly inserted them into the eunuch. A moment later, his complexion improved noticeably, and his breathing grew steady.
"Miss, you truly are a miracle-working doctor!" everyone exclaimed.
I smiled faintly and said nothing more. I knew that in this palace, medicine was only one of the ways I could protect myself. To truly establish myself here, I would need even more wisdom and courage.
