Poison-Handed Physician: The Sickly Prince's Darling Who Borrowed His Life

Ling Wan, heir to a modern family of poison doctors, transmigrates into a book and becomes a nameless dynasty's cannon-fodder supporting female character: an unfavored concubine-born daughter of the Prime Minister's household. After her legitimate older sister sets her up, she is forced to marry the capital's notorious “Living Yama,” Third Prince Murong Lin, as a bride meant to bring him good fortune. Rumor has it the prince suffers from a strange illness and is cruel and sinister, and that he is marrying only to “borrow her life and ward off disaster.”

Everyone expects her to meet an untimely end, but Ling Wan calmly produces a silver needle. “Chronic poisoning? That's child's play.” She uses poison to counter poison and restore his health, and relies on her medical knowledge to outwit schemes in the inner household. From a concubine-born daughter trampled into the mud, she rises to become a “Medical Immortal” who makes the powerful bow their heads. When her older sister pretends to offer her poisoned tea, Ling Wan identifies the clashing ingredients and exposes her on the spot. When noble young ladies mock her origins, she casually cures their long-standing ailments and leaves them speechless. When the emperor doubts her medical skill, she boosts the prince's complexion with an ordinary medicinal meal.

Most surprising of all, the sickly prince everyone fears becomes gentle and pliant in her hands. From “borrow her life and ward off disaster” to “it has to be her,” Murong Lin watches Ling Wan stir up a storm in the medical world and smiles faintly. “Naturally, this prince's consort will be famous throughout the realm.”

Watch how this poison-doctor's daughter wields medicine like a blade, blazing a thrilling path, face-slapping her awful relatives, winning over the sickly prince, and writing a legend of “unrivaled medical mastery and incomparable devotion” in this otherworld!
