A doctoral graduate in traditional Chinese medicine dies of severe blood loss after being drugged by a scumbag, then wakes up as the villainous empress with the most tragic ending in a novel.
The original empress poisoned the emperor, harmed the imperial heirs, and raised her own son to hate her. In the end, he killed her during a palace coup.
The entire palace is waiting for her to unleash a storm of blood and violence.
But she only wants to lie flat, stay alive, and make it to the end.
While others fight for power and favor, she makes medicinal meals and focuses on wellness;
while others frame the princes, she takes their pulses and treats their illnesses;
while others plot at every turn, she lies back and waits to die.
But who could have guessed…
She sets her stubborn eldest son straight, the cold-hearted emperor lets down his guard for her, the four princes treat her as their own mother, and the prince with command of the army becomes her strongest ally.
The emperor, reborn, pins her firmly against the wall.
“Your Majesty, the empress has quite the way with people. She’s even stolen my heart!”
Ruan Qingshu cries out that she’s innocent.
“Your Majesty, I’m a doctor, not a thief!”
