How Can a Transmigrated Good-for-Nothing Save Himself?

Bai Qingqing, a modern-day doctor, transmigrates into the body of a mistreated concubine-born daughter of the Bai family in ancient times. The moment she wakes, her legitimate older sister, Bai Wanqing, poisons and frames her. Using her medical skills to protect herself, she is forced to enter the palace selection, where a twist of fate leads her to spend a passionate night with Li Yuheng, an imperial bodyguard. She then discovers she is carrying his child.

Beneath the palace’s calm surface, danger lurks. The Noble Consort pretends to befriend her but really plans to “kill the mother and keep the child.” Bai Wanqing claims the emperor’s favor and closes in on her at every turn. And the Empress, who has been unconscious for ten years, appears to Bai Qingqing in a dream and reveals the shocking secret that their souls have switched places.

When Bai Qingqing touches the jade pendant engraved with “Qingqing,” long-sealed memories suddenly awaken: ten years ago, she and the young Li Yuheng pledged themselves to each other in a dream. Now he is the Empress’s younger brother, while she is a lonely soul from another world. Only by uncovering the mystery behind the Empress’s coma can she solve this deadly predicament spanning two lifetimes.

“Your ten-year promise is almost due, Qingqing. Do you still remember?”
