P.S. This novel is also known as “I Only Wanted Revenge, I Never Meant to Found a Nation” and “Those Years I Awkwardly Sat on the Empress’s Throne.”
Because she was born a girl, she was abandoned in the infants’ burial cave at birth and left to fend for herself. She fought desperately to save herself, and was eventually adopted by the Ji family.
Ji Chengxi, the Ji family’s only son, was its backbone.
When their only son met with disaster, that backbone was broken.
Her adoptive parents, who could not stand tall no matter how much money they had, aged overnight.
Taking over the Ji family as a woman, she weathered endless rumors and mockery, as well as crushing pressure, to save the family from collapse.
She practiced medicine, yet there were always people who wanted to die in her clinic.
She wanted to avenge her brother, but her enemy could crush her as easily as an ant.
She wanted to be the backbone her parents could lean on, but instead became a thorn in other people’s sides.
So she had no choice but to turn her medical skills into a weapon in the struggle, fighting to the death.
(P.S. One heroine. Independent, clearheaded, and grounded in reality. Political intrigue and medicine go hand in hand, with little romance.
If the villainous BOSS counts as the male lead, then he is.)
