Modern cardiothoracic surgeon Su Qingyuan transmigrates into the body of the eldest legitimate daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's household in the Great Jing Dynasty after a car accident. The original owner was despised by her father as a "mother's bane" and treated harshly in the household. After her second younger sister shoved her and knocked her unconscious, Su Qingyuan took over her frail body.
In a sprawling mansion, danger lurks at every turn. Her birth mother's dowry is withheld, her personal maid is covered in frostbite from the cold, and she can barely get a single hot meal. Su Qingyuan clenches her fists. In her previous life, she saved lives with a scalpel. In this one, she will use her hands to carve out a way to survive in this merciless household!
She wields her superb medical skills like a blade: treating an old servant's festering frostbite, spotting shady bookkeeping in the smallest details, and turning the tide at a palace banquet by using a silver hairpin to perform acupuncture and save the emperor in his hour of peril. With that, she makes a name for herself.
Little does she know that her first display of brilliance has already drawn her into an even deeper whirlpool. Concubine Liu's vicious schemes, her second younger sister's relentless pressure, and the many mysteries surrounding her birth mother's difficult labor... She outwits the ghosts of the household and reclaims her mother's belongings and dignity, while using her medical skills to build connections. By chance, she forms an alliance with Xiao Jingyan, the third prince, who has little power or support.
From an abandoned daughter relegated to a side courtyard to a physician renowned far and wide, from fighting to survive within the mansion to navigating the storms of court politics, she uses her healer's heart to see through people's intentions and her intelligence to foil conspiracies. When the truth comes to light, her birth mother's death turns out to be closely tied to a secret of the imperial court, and her fate has long been intertwined with his.
Witness how this transmigrated legitimate daughter wields both medical skill and human insight, advances cautiously through a ruthless struggle for power, and rises to become a legendary imperial physician consort, writing her own brilliant chapter amid the tide of history.
