[System + fake and real heiresses + household intrigue + political machinations + poison and medicine + love triangle chaos]
Black Lotus doctor and legitimate daughter X scheming, possessive, and devastatingly handsome prince
She was the real heiress, but on her way home, her stepmother ambushed her and sent her plunging off a cliff!
When she opens her eyes, mourning banners hang over the Marquis’s residence, and the name on the coffin is her own: Liu Qingyan’s?!
Her useless father is cold, her stepmother is vicious, and her fake-talented sister is putting on airs as the capital’s premier beauty, waiting to drain her dry?!
Liu Qingyan: “Hah. The King of Hell wouldn’t take me, so I’ll collect this debt myself!”
She fakes a corpse rising in the mourning hall, knocks out her scumbag father, and takes on her poisonous stepmother head-on!
An imperial decree orders her to marry Prince Chen as a bride to bring him good fortune? She defies it in open court: “Whoever wants this ‘blessing’ can have it!”
Her stepmother tries to smother her with kindness? Lavish allowances hiding wicked intentions? Liu Qingyan turns the tables in one stroke:
“Grandmother! This chicken soup is my way of showing filial devotion… I mean, it’s the ‘princess consort’s allowance soup’ Mother gave me. Please, have a taste!”
The old madam’s eyes widen in shock! A moment later, Liu Qingyan leans in and whispers, “That health tea your ‘filial son’ personally brought you… the poison has reached your bones.”
She sneaks into the prince’s residence and finds the “seriously injured” prince suffering a relapse of his parasitic poison.
The poison doctor Liu Qingyan’s eyes light up: A top-grade invalid, a first-rate source of poison! What a perfect opportunity!
Her hands fly as silver needles seal his pressure points, and she pours poison down his throat. “Your Highness, the fee for saving your life is a set of divine-grade hidden weapons!”
Prince Chen grabs her by the throat and grits his teeth. “Woman, you dare threaten me?”
Su Ran grips his lifeline in return. “Want to live? I’ll inspect the materials and blueprints myself! And while you’re at it… kill someone for me?”
After she fights her way through the Liu household, claims her place, and sends her enemies to their graves one by one, she discovers that the “benefactor” she once held at knifepoint, who had been suffering and enjoying it in equal measure, is now waiting for her with an amused smile on their wedding night.
