[Secret Identities Galore | Leveling Up | Household Intrigue and Political Schemes | Mastery of Medicine and Poison]
Shen Yue Bai, heir to a modern medical tradition, wakes up reincarnated as a maidservant beside the mysterious young master of the Duke of Guo's residence.
The moment she opens her eyes, she is caught up in a “real or fake young master” mystery.
To protect the young master, she takes the name Ying Cao and navigates the tangled situation. But when she takes the blame, she catches a glimpse of a startlingly complex expression in the young master's eyes.
The deeper she gets into this mess, the more she realizes that the young master might not be the real heir either.
Strangely, Ying Cao's original name is the same as hers, and she possesses medical skills just as impressive as her own. The faces around her seem familiar. What secrets are hidden behind these coincidences?
Before one crisis is over, another arrives.
Pei Yanqing, a junior minister of the Court of Judicial Review, mistakes her for the Hundred Flowers Pavilion's top assassin,
“Phantom of Poison, Ying the Unpredictable.”
He sneers, “A mere maidservant skilled in poison-making and martial arts? Are you questioning this official's ability to solve cases?”
Ye Sicheng, commander of the Eagle Guard, follows her everywhere. With the emperor's viciousness, like that of a “mad dog,” he is convinced she is
“Thousand-Faced Ghost, the Listener,” the top spy of the Listening Wind Tower.
Then there's the overbearing young general, Qin Shaoheng, who drags her to the Qin residence night after night and holds a blade to her throat, forcing her to treat his hidden ailment.
As fragments of her memory slowly fall into place, Shen Yue Bai realizes she was born into this world, but a potent poison erased the first sixteen years of her life.
Looking at all the mysterious identities piled on top of one another, ambition blazes within her.
With so many trump cards in hand, what a waste not to shake up the world!
When the ministers cry, “We welcome the Crown Princess to the throne!”
The handsome men who once bullied her wear complicated expressions.
They privately wonder: If they join the Crown Princess's harem, can they at least save their own lives?
Note: This story focuses primarily on plot. There will be oppression early on, but plenty of twists too!
