The Modern Medicine Consort Takes on the World

Lin Wei, a top pharmaceutical sciences PhD in the 22nd century, opens her eyes to find herself in the body of Lin Wan, a concubine-born daughter abandoned by a marquis's household and about to be sold to a brothel. From the start, she kills a human trafficker in the woodshed. With a short blade in hand and ice in her eyes, she snarls, “You want to sell me? Ask me first!”

On the run, she happens to save a gravely wounded handsome man, only to discover he's Xiao Che, a fallen prince who's ruthless and cunning. Poisoned with a deadly toxin, he plots at every turn. “Your life belongs to me for now.” But she holds up a microscope and shoves it in his face. “Want to live? Then take a look at the ‘little bugs’ in your blood!”

Modern medicine is her ultimate golden finger:

A plague is raging? She whips out a microscope and lets the ancients see the “plague bugs” with their own eyes, then humiliates the greedy quack!

Poison in the imperial harem? The poisonous powder on the jeweled phoenix hairpin bestowed by the Empress Dowager is exposed by a silver needle!

Business warfare? Her rivals hoard goods and monopolize the market? She uses modern dumping tactics to leave them bankrupt!

From an abandoned girl in the wilderness to a famed female physician in the capital and a business magnate richer than anyone around, Lin Wan saves lives with silver needles in one hand and blasts her enemies with explosives in the other, trampling feudal rules underfoot!

The cold-faced prince who initially wanted only to use her now clings desperately to her hand when she falls from a cliff. At court, he silences all opposition: “Only she is fit to stand by my side!” When he ascends the throne and defies the court to appoint her the first female official in history, placing her in charge of medicine and educational reform across the realm, the court erupts in uproar as they gaze together over the empire they built.

Yet a mysterious flame-shaped birthmark appears on her left shoulder, catching the greedy eye of a Western Regions merchant and opening up the mystery of her origins in the previous dynasty... The deadly poison on the Empress Dowager's phoenix hairpin, the bloody struggle between princes for the throne, the Western Regions royal court watching with predatory intent... Her path to a comeback is fraught with danger!
