She is dead.
Died in an "accidental" car accident. The last thing he saw before his death was the corpse of a child who had been poisoned.
She lived.
When I woke up, a basin of cold water was poured down my head, and my concubine's laughter pierced my eardrums.
She became the most humble and good-for-nothing legitimate daughter in the Prime Minister's House. She was frail and sick and could be bullied by everyone.
But they don't know——
In this frail body lived the soul of a forensic doctor who had dissected thousands of corpses.
She knew at a glance that the maid who "died" of illness in the mansion had died of poisoning, and she revived the old servant who even the imperial doctor shook his head with a few injections. Her medicine houses opened all over the capital, and the people called her the "living Bodhisattva".
She saved the lieutenant of the God of War, and also saved herself.
But the emperor set his sights on her—not for beauty, but for immortality.
"Shen Ruozhao, if you help me refine the elixir of life, I will make you my queen."
She looked at the children in the palace who were being used as medicine, and at the madman with a gray complexion on the throne——
She smiled.
"Your Majesty, there is no elixir of life in this world."
"But there is something more terrifying than immortality -"
"That's what people want."
When the cavalry breaks through the palace gate, when the God of War raises the flag of rebellion, when the truth is revealed to the world——
The good-for-nothing legitimate daughter who was once stepped into the mud became the queen that all people bowed to.
And her story with him has just begun.
