At ten years old, she was left for dead by hired killers sent by her own uncle. She became the most miserable poison-testing subject in the Medicine King Valley.
Forced to drink poison day after day and brought to the brink of death every night, she endured four years of hell and developed immunity to a hundred poisons. Taking the name Zi Sang, she returned from the ashes.
After a chance encounter, she stumbled upon the power-grabbing conspiracy of Xiao Yan, the Northern Emperor's fourth son, but also fell into the web of affection he spun around her. To win over the powerful Qimen clan, he pretended to court a haughty young lady, yet turned around and swore eternal love to her.
When their affair was exposed, blood stained the ground. They joined forces to kill their master, and she was even forced to disguise herself as an enemy and infiltrate the Zhongli family as a spy.
The docile, dutiful “fake daughter” became the apple of the Zhongli elders' eyes and even won the secret affection of their young lord, Zhongli Yue, who protected her in silence.
But Xiao Yan, consumed by ambition, ultimately betrayed everything for the throne. A great fire burned away the brief warmth she had known and severed every tie of love.
She raised her sword against him, only for the man she loved to force-feed her a deadly Forgetfulness Gu and leave her for dead in the wilderness.
Against all odds, she survived, but lost all her memories. She drifted to Pengshan, a lawless borderland, where she met Xihe Chen, the Southern Emperor's beloved son, who was being tormented by his own brother. Gentle as jade, he promised her a life of peace.
When the Northern Emperor's pursuit thunders through the forest, when Zhongli Yue's protection conceals a storm of emotion, and when the Southern Emperor's tenderness closes in step by step, how will she face the game unfolding in this chaotic age?
Can a body immune to a hundred poisons withstand the poison of love that eats away at the bones? When her memories return, will she raise the blade of revenge or reach out a hand in redemption?
I was attracted by the introduction and read more than a dozen chapters at once. The writing is really good. Although it is a new book, the writing is very good and it is worth reading.
