[A lone poison doctor + a powerful lord’s cherished darling + a formidable partnership] She is “Poison Doctor Awei” of the river gang, able to detect poison with a silver hairpin and take lives with her medical skills. She carries the blood feud of the entire Shen family, framed for colluding with the enemy. He is the Marquis of Zhenbei, a powerful figure who secretly bears the identity of the crown prince’s orphaned son. Decisive and ruthless, he has a soft spot for her alone. When she saves him after he is ambushed and gravely wounded, she means to use his influence to investigate the case, never expecting the cold-faced lord to cling to her! “Miss, the Marquis of Zhenbei is waiting outside the estate again. He says he brought you candied fruit!” Shen Lingwei sneers, “Tell him I don’t use candied fruit to make poison.” Yet when he storms the enemy camp alone to protect her and is struck by bone-corroding poison, she kneels amid the corpses and cries out as she sucks the poison from his wound: “Xiao Jue, you can’t die!” Xiao Jue pulls her into his arms and points his sword at the world: “Anyone who dares touch my woman will have to answer to my spear!” From a lone daughter of the river gang to the regent’s consort, she uses medicine to turn the tide and strategy to avenge herself, while he sweeps away treacherous officials and commands the realm. In this life, they will uncover every injustice buried in a sea of blood, defend the realm, and stay by each other’s side through life and death!
