The prison is icy cold, and poison burns its way through her body. As Shen Mingwei draws her last breath, she catches one last glimpse of the coldness in the eyes of the scoundrel Xiao Jingyuan. “I’ve got the Shen family’s medical compendium. What use is a worthless woman like you now?”
Her parents die of illness in prison, her mother hangs herself, and her elder brother falls on the battlefield. The horrific deaths of her entire loyal family flash before her eyes. Filled with hatred, she swears, “Xiao Jingyuan! Shen Qingrou! In my next life, I’ll make you pay for every drop of blood!”
When she opens her eyes, she has returned to five days before her coming-of-age ceremony! Her half-sister Shen Qingrou has just moved into the main courtyard and is secretly adding pox-inducing powder to her calming tea. The scoundrel Xiao Jingyuan has not proposed yet and is still pretending to be a gentle young gentleman to trick her into handing over the medical compendium.
“In this life, no one will harm my Shen family!”
Shen Mingwei digs her nails into her palm until she draws blood, confirming she has been reborn. Her golden finger, mastery of both poison and medicine, activates instantly. Her half-sister puts poison in her tea? Shen Mingwei mixes the powder into her half-sister’s rouge instead, ruining the white-lotus beauty’s coming-of-age ceremony with a face full of boils. The scoundrel proposes at a banquet? Shen Mingwei produces evidence of his dealings with bandits and exposes the “gentle prince” as a poison-buying murderer in front of everyone!
During a medical clinic in the countryside, she happens upon Regent Xiao Jue, who has been ambushed. She saves the cold-faced King of Hell with her silver needles, never realizing that this rescue will forge a fateful bond. He wields absolute power but has no interest in women, yet he treats her differently from everyone else. “Who dares touch my medical clinic?”
Poisoned rouge, warhorse schemes, deadly epidemics, and powerful clans… She protects her family, opens a medical clinic, and takes on scoundrels and wicked women. From a noblewoman who abandoned medicine to the greatest female doctor in Great Yong, she rises to the top.
Xiao Jingyuan grits his teeth in fury. “Shen Mingwei, I’ll make sure your whole family is buried with you!” The blood feud of her past life will be repaid many times over in this one! Watch as the reborn poison doctor tramples scoundrels and wicked women, wields the medical compendium, and commands the world, only to sweep away the most untouchable regent in all the capital.
