I was the most honored legitimate princess of Great Chu, yet I ended up with my husband cutting out my heart to make medicine.
Reborn, I turned around and became a disciple of the Valley Master of Medicine King's Valley, that old man's direct successor.
My martial uncle is an old poison master who is always using me to test his medicines. I smile as I swallow the poison, improve it into the deadliest toxin in the world, then turn around and sell it for a fortune.
It's just that Grandfather's adopted son, the prince from a neighboring kingdom, is always gazing at me with those charming eyes.
“Little girl, my mother says she wants a daughter-in-law who knows medicine.”
I raised an eyebrow. “But I'm the future Valley Master of Medicine King's Valley. Can you afford to support me?”
He smiled and offered me a golden token valid in all six kingdoms. “How about I give you all of the Northern Frontier to use as a medicinal garden?”
Only later did I learn that he was the neighboring kingdom's legitimate son of the empress, and that Grandfather had long ago written both our names into the same secret edict.
