Su Qingyuan, a top modern surgeon, opens her eyes to find she has become a poisoned consort in the Great Jing Dynasty, deposed and banished to the Cold Palace!
Her predecessor was jealous and vicious, hated by the crown prince and condemned to die by poison. When Su Qingyuan wakes, the icy poison still burns in her throat, and a palace maid's sneering face is right before her.
“You want me dead? Let's see if the needles in my hand agree!”
She strikes back with poisoned needles, unlocks unparalleled medical and poison skills with the System, and grows medicinal herbs and saves lives in the Cold Palace. She even discovers that her predecessor left behind an adorable little burden, one immune to every poison and even sharper-tongued than she is!
“Mother, that nasty woman came looking for trouble again. I already swapped her hairpin for a poisonous weed~”
After escaping the Cold Palace, she shocks the capital with her life-saving medical skills. A single prescription cures rare illnesses the Imperial Medical Academy can't treat; when consorts secretly poison her, she retaliates by making their faces swell and their skin rot; when the third prince covets her, she sets a trap that ruins him!
But why is her crown prince husband, rumored to be frail, sickly, cold, and abstinent, acting more and more strangely?
“Beloved consort, only you can cure my poison.” The man pins her against the palace wall, undisguised possessiveness burning in his eyes.
Su Qingyuan raises an eyebrow. “Your Highness, weren't we supposed to be sworn enemies?”
The man chuckles, revealing his true, sharp edge. “From the moment you survived the Cold Palace, you could only ever belong to me.”
Only later does she learn that this seemingly delicate crown prince actually controls the entire dynasty's shadow forces. Her medical skills can not only save his life, but also help him ascend to the highest throne!
What the hell??
