Fantasy + historical romance in an alternate ancient setting + political scheming and palace intrigue + adorable pets + two equally formidable leads

Yu Qinghuan, a master poison-maker, was framed by the powerful Su family for plotting to kill Su Luoxue, the emperor's soon-to-be consort, and forced to leap from a cliff.

On the brink of death, she had a miraculous encounter and awakened to a startling truth: her blood, immune to all poisons, held limitless life-giving power. (It is later revealed to come from the bloodline of the ancient Spirit Clan.)

To survive and honor her vow to mend her ways, she disguised herself and vanished into the common streets. But her extraordinary medical skills drew her into trouble once more, and the shrewd, domineering Prince Jing, Xiao Jue, saw through her disguise.

From then on, the poison maiden, determined to go straight, and the prince, who declared, “You're the only consort I want,” went from matching wits in his manor to weathering upheaval in the palace. They joined forces to bring down the corrupt and powerful Su family, then roamed the martial world together and purged heretical cults from the borderlands.

In the end, she cleared her name and found love, family, and a place in the world. After achieving greatness, they retired to the mountains, passing on their prosperous age to the next generation and creating a legendary epic spanning both the imperial court and the martial world.
