[No Romance] [Strong Female Lead] [Career-Focused] [Master of Medicine and Poison] [Power Plays and Wish Fulfillment] [The Male Lead Is the Ultimate Partner]

Lu Wanxing transmigrates into the body of an abandoned concubine in the Cold Palace, about to be buried alive alongside a dying tyrant.

The Empress Dowager sends a noose? The scheming Noble Consort kicks her while she’s down? The court officials are waiting to seize her estate?

Lu Wanxing turns around and wakes the ruthless, unhinged tyrant with a single needle. “I’ll save your life, and you give me power! I’ll clean up this mess in the harem and the court!”

One life-and-death contract later, the Great Qing Dynasty takes a sharp turn.

While other consorts compete for favor, Lu Wanxing opens an autopsy room in the harem and investigates the Imperial Household Department’s corruption down to the last detail.

While other officials form factions and line their pockets, Lu Wanxing dumps the court’s old ledgers on the imperial desk, confiscating so much property that the treasury can’t hold it all.

Before long, the Empress Dowager’s faction is uprooted, corrupt officials tremble at the news, and neighboring enemy states are beaten until they’re crying for mercy.

The officials of the entire court collapse to their knees outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony. “Your Majesty, please rein in the Empress! We can’t keep up with her anymore!”

The tyrant Xiao Chengjing lazily wipes his bloodstained sword, not even sparing them a glance. “She gave me my life. The Great Qing is hers to rule.”
