The Starry Realm's Physician Consort

In the age of the interstellar empire, Lin Wanzhao, the legitimate daughter of a marquis’s family, is cast aside and married off to the frigid Beiming Star Domain as the consort of Prince Dingbei, Xiao Jingheng. Weak and sickly, and constantly bullied, she secretly carries on the legacy of a legendary healer among the stars, with unparalleled skills in medicine and poison from both ancient and modern times.

Beiming Star is beset by danger: conspiracies in the imperial capital, foreign invasions, internal rebellions, and a mysterious force watching from the shadows. Lin Wanzhao wields poisoned silver needles as blades and a healer’s compassion as her shield, maneuvering among the various factions. From an abandoned wife confined to a cold courtyard to Beiming’s true power broker, she and the iron-fisted Prince Xiao Jingheng, who uses a wheelchair, go from testing each other to standing side by side. Together, they uncover a massive conspiracy involving the “Asura Core” and “Marrow-Congealing Powder,” one that threatens the empire’s very survival.

This is a tale of rising from a pawn to a player, of a blade tempered amid the frost and stars, destined to slash through the empire’s silent night sky.
