[Palace intrigue, not a mutually devoted pairing]
Once upon a time, she was an outstanding medical doctor! She was not only an expert in traditional Chinese medicine, but also had done in-depth research in Western medicine, making her a true general practitioner. To pursue an even higher level of medical skill, she even studied pharmacology. But because of the unusual nature of her field, she didn’t graduate until she was around thirty.
In the two years after graduation, Qin Yixian drew on her superb skills and extraordinary courage to serve as lead surgeon in a long, demanding operation. It lasted a full eight hours! The prolonged, intense concentration left her utterly exhausted, and she collapsed from sheer fatigue. But when she opened her eyes again, she was astonished to find herself in a completely unfamiliar place, transformed into a newborn baby...
Seventeen years later, she enters the palace as a candidate in the imperial selection and begins an extraordinary journey through the palace. Schemes lurk everywhere within its walls. Watch as she survives one perilous situation after another. She safely gives birth to a son and a daughter in the palace and protects them as they grow up. Her son is made a prince, and her daughter marries into a powerful family.
The emperor dies, and a new emperor takes the throne. Qin Yixian leaves the palace with her son and goes to his fiefdom. She no longer has to be confined to the inner quarters for the rest of her life, and enjoys many years of freedom.
