🔥 Yan Nanqing | Amnesiac Swordswoman × Mad Emperor × Devoted Prince Regent | Revenge + Political Scheming + Tormented Romance + Personal Growth
She is the orphaned daughter of a founding general of the previous dynasty, raised in the martial world and possessed of an unyielding spirit.
After an assassination attempt leaves her with amnesia, she falls into the mortal world and is taken in by a farming family, only to witness the entire village being slaughtered. To protect her little brother, she is forced to become a dancer in a singing house. Her dance captivates the city, but the Prince Regent takes her prisoner and turns her into an assassin. At a palace banquet, she is ordered to assassinate the emperor, but her mission fails. In the dungeon, the mad emperor both admires and pities her as he tortures her for information. Then, thanks to a cinnabar birthmark, he recognizes her as the young swordsman who once saved his life.
After barely escaping with her life, she disappears from the world for ten years. She transforms from a martial-world heroine into Su Yang, a poised and patient physician who excels in both medicine and poison. When she returns to the capital, she uses her medical skills as a blade and her clinic as a trap, advancing step by step toward the heart of imperial power.
She saves the people, fights epidemics, enters the palace, and investigates old cases, all to clear her father’s name after his entire family was sentenced to death.
She battles treacherous ministers, throws the court into turmoil, turns powerful forces to her advantage, and lays deadly traps.
She thinks killing the corrupt officials will bring everything to a close, but the final truth shatters everything she believes in.
She once sought justice. Only later did she understand:
If heaven grants no justice, then she will make it herself.
She will no longer be a chess piece. She will be the one moving them.
She will no longer beg the gods for mercy. She will seize power and shape the world according to her own vision.
