The Physician Consort Qing Dai

Strong Female Lead... Poison Doctor... Wuxia... The hellfire of karma scorched her soul, and venom that ate to the bone gnawed at her organs... She remembered the icy lake water rushing into her lungs, remembered the face of her legitimate older sister, Shen Yurou, on the shore, twisted with jealousy yet streaked with hypocritical tears, remembered the frost-cold indifference in the eyes of her stepmother, Madam Xu. Most of all, she remembered the unbearable resentment and boundless hatred that filled her before her consciousness sank away. She, Shen Qingdai, a lowly illegitimate daughter of the Shen family, was blessed with a lifetime of family arts, yet dared not reveal them because of her low status. In the end, the mother and daughter, two wolves in human skin, accused her of having an affair with an outsider and drowned her in a pond to silence her! Why? Was it because her face so closely resembled that of her long-dead birth mother, a woman whose very name had become taboo in the household, a woman said to be of unknown origins, and that resemblance wounded Madam Xu's pride? Or was it because she had accidentally stumbled upon one of Madam Xu's shameful secrets? Malice clung to her like a venomous parasite, burning in the endless abyss of darkness. Her unyielding obsession tore open the boundary between life and death!
