The moment she opens her eyes, battlefield medic Su Qingyi has become the illegitimate daughter of a prince's household accused of treason, and her stepmother is pushing her forward to take the blame.
A prison cart, confiscation of the family estate, and exile three thousand li away. Pursuers are hot on her heels, while vicious neighbors lie ahead. Everyone is waiting for her to die on the road.
Su Qingyi gives a cold laugh and activates her medical space.
Short on food? Her space has high-yield potatoes!
An epidemic? One shot of antibiotics takes care of it!
Being hunted? Her homemade scalpel is faster than an assassin's sword!
On the road to exile, she picks up a sickly young man on the verge of death.
He coughs up blood, has a bad leg, and is frail, yet he always gazes at her with deep, shadowy eyes, as if he means to devour her.
Later, he deploys troops for her with his own hands and secures the empire.
Later still, he arrives at the gates with 300,000 Northern Di cavalry, determined to seize her and take her back to his royal tent.
Everyone thinks Su Qingyi is just a weak woman who knows a little medicine.
The vassal princes say, "If she makes it through the winter, I'll admit defeat!"
The emperor says, "What can one illegitimate daughter possibly do?"
Only when Su Qingyi's city is impregnable, her army is strong, and her name resounds throughout the world do they finally realize: what weak woman? This is a queen of a chaotic age!
And the tyrant Ye Xuange, famed for his near-demonic cunning and unification of Northern Di, kneels reverently at the queen's feet and drapes a cloak over her shoulders.
"Yiyi, it's getting cold. We should return to the palace."
