Su Qingyuan, a renowned modern physician, died unexpectedly on the operating table and awoke in another body: Su Wanqing, an illegitimate daughter abandoned by the Jing'an Marquis household. She endured more than a decade at a country estate. The original owner had been frail and died young, but her death brought Su Qingyuan to another world, where she now commands astonishing medical skills.
When the emperor arranged a marriage, the marquis's legitimate daughter refused to marry Xiao Jue, the Prince of Chu, rumored to be ugly and ruthless, and forced the heroine to take her place.
After marrying into the Prince of Chu's residence, she secured her footing with a written agreement: cure his strange poison in three months in exchange for one hundred thousand taels in medical fees and a divorce agreement.
She is the reclusive Ghost Physician. One needle can save a life, one powder can take it. On her wedding day, she stabbed the legitimate daughter with a hairpin and poisoned a cruel servant as punishment. She lashed out at the empress’s senior attendant when she went to the palace to pay her respects, and crushed the marquis’s matriarch when she returned to her family home. With her medical skills and ruthless nature, she set the capital ablaze.
Political schemes simmer in the palace. A prince from the Western Regions arrives in search of his family, and a blood test reveals a startling secret: she is the daughter of the Western Regions’ Grand Princess and the lost heir of the Prince of Zhenbei, who commands the Northern Frontier’s troops.
The crown prince frames her, the empress makes things difficult for her, and the marquis household schemes against her. She advances step by step, tears into her enemies, seizes a gold mine, and foils conspiracies, making the wicked pay for their own misdeeds.
Xiao Jue goes from wary testing to devoted protection. He rejects the position of crown prince for her, defies imperial pressure, conceals her identity as the Ghost Physician, and safeguards her for life.
From a marriage of convenience to standing together through life and death, he promises her a harem without consorts and his exclusive love for the rest of their lives.
A palace coup brings him supreme power and he ascends the throne, but she plans to return to the Western Regions with her true identity.
The lost divorce agreement and the emperor’s burning heart, along with his vow, “You are the only one for me in this life,” finally convince her to stay by his side as empress.
After reading a few chapters, I think it's pretty good. It's worth reading. The language is smooth and concise, the storyline is unique and ups and downs, and the storyteller is also very good 👍👍👍
