Shen Qingci, a genius surgeon and toxicology expert of the twenty-first century, died from overwork after a grueling series of operations. When she opened her eyes, she had become the legitimate daughter who shared her name in the Great Xia Dynasty’s household of the Duke of Zhenguo.
Life had been cruel to this young lady. Her birth mother died early, and her vicious stepmother abandoned her in a country villa to fend for herself, using her “ill-fated star” destiny as an excuse. In the end, a bowl of poison claimed her life.
When she opened her eyes again, another soul had taken her place.
With silver needles, she could bring the dead back to life and restore flesh to bone. With her mastery of poisons, she could kill without a trace.
Anyone who bullied, humiliated, or harmed her would pay a hundredfold!
When the frail legitimate daughter once cast aside returned to the capital with dazzling talent, the entire Great Xia Dynasty was shaken.
A vicious stepmother? She’d ruin your reputation! A fake-sweet stepsister? She’d tear off that pretty mask!
The court was treacherous, and princes vied for power. With her peerless medical skills, she navigated the heart of the storm with ease, becoming the “Jade Physician” whom every faction sought to win over.
But why did the Prince of War, famed for his ruthless decisiveness and cold heart, keep making excuses to get close to her?
“Miss Shen, my chest hurts.”
Shen Qingci handed him a scalpel, expressionless. “Your Highness, would you like me to open your chest or your skull?”
The Prince of War took her hand, his deep eyes full of affection. “Neither. I want you to open up a place for yourself in my heart.”
