Ten years ago, raging flames consumed loyal bones, and a rain of blood drowned the glory of a family of generals. Shen Qingli was the lone orphan who escaped by chance. Once the treasured pearl of the Marquis's residence, she became an ant struggling in the mire. After ten years in hiding under an assumed name, she studied medicine with her own hands and mastered deadly poisons, honing herself into the sharpest blade at the edge of life and death.
Beneath the capital's glittering surface, undercurrents surged. When she entered the heart of the power struggle under the name "Miracle Doctor of Gentle Hands," she faced not only the immense influence of the people who had slaughtered her family, but also Xiao Jingheng, the cold, inscrutable Prince Jing. He held great power, a hand that could sway the court, and was also the only key that might lead her to the heart of the truth.
She planned every move, entering the game through medicine and using poison as her weapon. She could save an important figure from the brink of death, or send an enemy to the afterlife. The prince's residence, the palace's secrets, and the shifting tides of court were all pieces on her revenge board. But was the keen-eyed man her ally in a shared cause, or the final obstacle she would have to overcome?
When buried truths tore their way into the open, carrying an even greater conspiracy with them, the orphan of the past had quietly taken control of the game. With every turn of her gentle hands came a healer's compassion, and a poisoner's plan for revenge. A phoenix reborn in flames would never be content to hide in the world of medicine. She would have this mighty court repay every debt in blood! And she would give this splendid realm a new, brighter future!
