I Became a Substitute Princess, and My Medical Skills Shook the Realm

On her wedding night, beside a coffin, she uses a silver needle to examine the corpse and expose the lie that the deceased died suddenly of an illness.

She has three days: solve the case or be buried with the dead.

Lu Yunqing, a modern emergency department director, transmigrates into the body of a princess consort sent to marry in someone else’s place. It’s hell mode from the start.

A secondary consort watches her like a hawk, mysterious poisoners lurk in the shadows, and a noble consort at court hides a knife behind her smile. Her husband, a cold-faced prince, is also afflicted with a strange poison and is on the brink of death.

From then on, the prince’s manor gains a “miracle-doctor princess consort.”

She opens a clinic, wins people over, treats a princess, and makes a name for herself in the capital.

She battles the secondary consort, roots out a spy, ventures into the ghost market, and risks her life to seize medicine.

She saves the empress with a cesarean delivery, then determines the fate of the realm in the grand hall.

From domestic rivalries in the prince’s manor to upheaval in the palace, from the flames of war on the northern frontier to the affairs of the court and the realm, she uses her astonishing medical skills to foil conspiracies, cure strange poisons, save the people, and change the nation’s destiny.

He stands by her through every trial, transforming from a cold-faced prince into a regent, and from suspicion and exploitation to a love that would endure even death.

“I saved your life. From now on, you’re mine.”

“Agreed. I’m yours, body and soul. I offer you the realm as my betrothal gift and the whole world as your wedding present. Are you satisfied?”

When an age of prosperity arrives and the medical academy’s graduates fill the land, she stands at the lectern and gives her new students one final lesson:

“A doctor must first be a good person. Remember why you picked up your silver needles.”

Now white-haired, he brings her a cup of ginseng tea and smiles.

“In this life, you saved the world. In the next, let me study medicine and save you.”

In the glow of the setting sun, the legend draws to a close, but the spirit of medicine lives on.

This is the legend of a modern emergency doctor who transmigrates to ancient times, uses medicine to overcome every crisis and compassion to shape her destiny, and stands alongside a cunning prince to usher in a prosperous age.
