Lin Xi, the tenth-generation heir to a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, transmigrates after a car accident into the body of a maid to a discarded consort, who has been condemned to die and be buried with her mistress. She has no System, no golden finger, only a backpack full of modern Chinese herbal medicines and a bronze acupuncture mannequin passed down by her ancestors for three hundred years. Facing the empress dowager who wants her buried alive, the prince who wants to kill her to silence her, and the emperor who treats her like a pawn, Lin Xi tucks silver needles into her sleeve. “Those who want to die, step forward. Those who want to live, get in line.”
