The Bride Who Brings Good Fortune Is a Poison Doctor

Tao Xiaodie, an heir to an ancient school of poison medicine, dies in an accident while testing poison and transmigrates into the modern world. There, she becomes a “tool bride” from the wealthy Guo family, married off to bring good luck to their sickly eldest son, Guo Zhenshuai. On their wedding night, she discovers that this “sickly man” is not only lively and well, but publicly exposes her supposed “ulterior motives.” As it turns out, he is testing her, too.

Both hiding their own agendas, they are forced to join hands against the second branch of the Guo family, which is eagerly eyeing their position, and a wave of mysterious poison murders on the outside. Tao Xiaodie repeatedly cracks bizarre cases with her mastery of poisons, while Guo Zhenshuai seems like a playboy but is far more capable than he lets on. The main storyline follows the two as they go from scheming against each other to entrusting their lives to one another. The secondary storyline unravels the old feud between the Poison Medicine Sect and the Guo family's ancestors a century ago, pointing toward a shocking secret: the Guo bloodline harbors a peerless poison catalyst, and Tao Xiaodie's transmigration was no accident.
