◇ A Hellish Start: A Desperate Medical Gambit ◇
Shen Zhiwei carries the blood feud of her murdered family. Once the daughter of a distinguished family of imperial physicians, she has fallen to become a medicine slave in the Imperial Music Bureau.
To survive, she pretends to be foolish for three years. But after curing the lame dog of the Grand Princess, she is beaten with a poisonous whip by the brothel keeper, forcing her astonishing medical skills into the open:
Her silver needle hits the right acupoint, and the dog lives. If a person were treated the same way, they would die!
◇ A Game of the Powerful: Medicine as a Blade ◇
Forced into the princes’ deadly struggle, she wields needles to save lives with one hand and poison to kill her enemies with the other:
► One dose of a “false pregnancy” remedy exposes a favored concubine’s plot in the prince’s household, leaving her doubled over in pain.
► Half a box of poisonous rouge turns the tables on the poisoner, whose seven orifices bleed red.
► At the palace banquet, medicine hidden in the sleeves of the dazzling Xuanji dance leaves deadly red marks around the necks of every powerful guest in the hall!
**“Cure me, and I’ll grant you your freedom.” The Fifth Prince makes his move with a quiet smile.
“Make me a Gu King, and I’ll leave your corpse intact.” The Ninth Thousand-Year-Old strokes his prayer beads.**
◇ A Vast Conspiracy: The Physician Who Rules the Realm ◇
The Tianyuan Pulse Records, written in her father’s blood, conceal a key that could overturn the empire:
The former dynasty’s imperial seal? The truth behind the witchcraft case? Tons of explosives buried beneath the throne?
When the orphaned descendant of the deposed crown prince ignites the flames of revenge, the new emperor becomes a puppet under the influence of Golden Elixir Gu poison.
“You want to bathe the imperial city in blood? Then let’s see if my needle agrees!”
From the Imperial Music Bureau to the head of the Imperial Medical Bureau,
watch a common-born female physician use a three-inch silver needle
to pierce through a century-old malaise in the ninefold palace!
