The Dual Poison and Medicine Master: The Chief Apothecary Is Not to Be Messed With

After Shen Xingruo, a workaholic who lived for her career, drops dead on an awards stage, her soul transmigrates into the body of a concubine-born daughter of the Great Yong Chancellor’s household, one with “six deficient senses.” The original owner was poisoned by her stepmother and framed by her half-sister. Armed with modern knowledge, Shen Xingruo fights back with force.

From exposing her half-sister’s scheme with poisoned powder to unraveling the mystery of the Soul-Locking Powder, she navigates the dangers of the inner residence and the imperial court. She uncovers her father’s secret treasonous dealings and becomes entangled with Mu Qingci, Valley Master of the Medicine King Valley, who is investigating the case. Three impossible choices push her to her limits: whether to protect herself or expose the truth while cooperating, what to choose after trust collapses, and whether to perish together or sacrifice someone else in the end.

When a rebellion plot comes to light, she discovers the truth behind her birth mother’s search for medicine. From “an eye for an eye” to “forgiving selectively,” she learns that redemption means preserving the ability to love. In the end, she turns down the throne and joins Mu Qingci in creating a new discipline of medicine and poison, writing her own legendary tale of rising against the odds.
