“Saving lives is real. Becoming an empress is the System's doing. Regent, give me back my stethoscope first!” Reborn as the downtrodden illegitimate daughter of a marquis's household, Su Miao smiled at the penicillin that had appeared out of thin air in her hand.
One moment, she was the youngest chief of cardiology at a top-tier hospital. The next, her legitimate older sister was forcing her to confess to “pushing someone into the water.”
No worries.
Her sarcastic Empress System handed out increasingly outrageous rewards for increasingly bizarre missions:
Use lines from Empresses in the Palace in palace intrigue, and receive a sterile scalpel.
Recite cheesy pickup lines to the Regent, who holds power over the entire court, and unlock an electrocardiograph.
Recite Li Bai and Du Fu in public, and instantly exchange them for a complete set of ICU equipment!
The whole capital was abuzz:
That Third Miss Su saved the Ninth Prince from drowning and stitched up his wound with an embroidery needle!
That Third Miss Su made the Grand Tutor's legitimate daughter cry at the flower-viewing banquet, then recite Admonitions for Women!
That Third Miss Su was betrothed by imperial decree to the Regent, a living King of Hell, but spent their wedding night teaching him cardiopulmonary resuscitation!
Then one day, the System suddenly glitched:
[Warning! The Host's genes are a 99% match for those of Empress Zhaoming, who passed away a century ago.]
The ailing emperor on the dragon throne stared with reddened eyes. “Elder sister?”
The young leader of the martial world's intelligence network dropped to one knee. “We welcome our tower master back!”
The Regent toyed with a bloodstained scalpel and chuckled. “My wife's secret identities are enough to keep me uncovering them for a lifetime.”
