Qin Xiao, the emergency department’s most overworked doctor, opens her eyes after three straight days of overtime and finds herself Crown Princess of Southern Tang. Red curtains, golden phoenixes: sounds like a dream, right? Ha.
Her crown prince husband, Li Jingming, is a “fool.”
No, according to Qin Xiao’s professional diagnosis, he’s a high-functioning autistic patient. His intelligence seems above average, but his social skills are nonexistent. And the emperor’s critical condition is basically a death sentence for the crown prince.
The second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh princes are all itching for a fight, ready to send this “idiot couple” to their graves.
A palace-intrigue plot? No, this is a fight for survival.
Qin Xiao looks at the only equipment she has: a silver needle for testing poison, and a head full of modern medical knowledge. Fine. This doctor has changed careers to become crown princess, and she’ll treat anyone who dares defy her.
She uses surgical techniques to “intervene” in the crown prince’s behavior, and brings the pace of the ER to her desperate struggle for survival in the palace. Just as all the princes expect the foolish crown prince to make a fool of himself at the palace banquet, he calmly recites the entire Book of Southern Tang. The court officials stare in disbelief.
The princes join forces to poison them? Qin Xiao turns around and gives them a lecture on pathogens, scaring them into dumping the poison that very night. Assassins attack under cover of darkness? The crown princess’s pepper spray makes professional killers cry like lost little children.
Qin Xiao thinks she can cure the crown prince with modern medicine and that the two of them can make it through and live happily ever after. But she never imagined the price would hurt a thousand times more than the most difficult surgery she ever performed.
