Medical doctor Su Qingkong transmigrates overnight into the body of an abandoned consort, ignored by everyone in the Cold Palace of the Qi Kingdom. Before she can even figure out her situation, the “Healing the World” System bound to her issues an utterly absurd ultimate mission: within three years, make at least eighty percent of the capital’s residents secretly agree with and spread the claim that “the emperor is impotent”!
Faced with a risk that could condemn her entire clan to death, Su Qingkong looks at the completely empty Cold Palace and her meager supply of survival points, then chooses to meet the challenge head-on. She hangs a sign reading “Thousand Gold Clinic” in the Cold Palace and uses medical skills far beyond her era to specialize in women’s hidden ailments in the imperial harem.
From regulating menstrual cycles to treating concealed illnesses, from skincare and beautification to developing contraceptive pills, the empress, noble consorts, palace maids, and all kinds of women come carrying lanterns late at night, lining up outside the Cold Palace. They are the emperor’s consorts, but they are also pitiful people bound by the rules of the palace. Su Qingkong not only heals their bodies, but also quietly sows the seeds of female autonomy.
Before long, Emperor Xuanyuan Che notices that the atmosphere in his harem has changed completely. His consorts no longer compete for his favor and even go out of their way to avoid him. Rumors spread throughout the capital, all claiming that His Majesty suffers from a hidden ailment and is no longer up to the task. When he angrily kicks open the Cold Palace gates and demands answers from the woman he had forgotten, what awaits him is a beautifully packaged box of “special kidney-tonifying pills” with unknown effects, along with Su Qingkong’s seemingly respectful yet subtly provocative smile...
This is a silent revolution waged with medical skill and human nature as weapons. How will an abandoned consort in the Cold Palace stir up a storm throughout the imperial capital?
Although this book is about time travel, it is unique and fascinating.
