Dr. Lin Yue, a leading expert in modern bioweapons and toxicology, was envied and betrayed by her colleagues for her groundbreaking research, and ultimately died in a laboratory explosion. Her consciousness transmigrated to the Great Yan Dynasty, inhabiting the body of Lin Yue, the despised, frail, and chronically ill daughter of a low-ranking official in the Ministry of Rites. The original owner had just been forced into a political marriage with Prince Jing, Xiao Tianyi, a notorious, paralyzed war god. Once the most fearsome general in Great Yan, Xiao Tianyi had been left paralyzed by a mysterious, slow-acting poison. The imperial physicians were helpless, and he had become a political symbol abandoned by the court and the people.
Lin Yue soon realized that her body's supposed frailty and chronic illness were actually the result of long-term poisoning. Drawing on her deep understanding of modern biochemistry, she set out to detoxify herself and struck a fragile but crucial, high-stakes pact with her new husband, Prince Jing, Xiao Tianyi: she would cure his supposedly incurable poison, and he would offer her protection. This thrust her straight into the heart of the whirlpool of court politics. Here, she must systematically challenge and dismantle the entrenched authority of the Imperial Medical Academy, use modern scientific knowledge such as soap, distilled liquor, and advanced pharmacology to build a vast business empire, and gradually uncover the tangled conspiracy behind the poisoning of both herself and Xiao Tianyi, a massive plot targeting the very heart of imperial power.
A strong and resolute heroine, she takes risks to get medicine, bravely saves people, and is so heroic.
