The Legend of Stunning Splendor

Su Jinyan, the illegitimate daughter of a military family, was framed in her previous life by her legitimate sister and a scumbag, who conspired to steal the miraculous medical text her mother had left behind and cause her death. Reborn, she conceals her talents and uses her memories of medicine and fragments of the text among her mother’s belongings to play the pig to eat the tiger. On the surface, she is a timid, useless punching bag. In secret, her extraordinary medical skills set the capital abuzz. First, she cleverly turns her legitimate sister’s repeated poison plots against her, making her suffer the consequences. Then she tears away her stepmother’s hypocritical mask and avenges her birth mother. Along the way, she saves Xiao Wuyan, a powerful God of War prince afflicted with a strange poison. The two go from testing and using each other to fighting side by side and falling deeply in love. With her medical skills and intelligence, Su Jinyan not only wins justice for herself and her mother and brings down her entire rotten family, but also helps Xiao Wuyan purge the corrupt from the imperial court, quell internal rebellions, and ascend the throne. In the end, she becomes the most revered imperial physician consort of the Great Xia Dynasty, truly holding the realm in one hand and the emperor’s heart in the other.
