Hua Xiaobai transmigrated into this world.
Over the course of eight years, she taught Xie Heng to become the best physician and poison expert in the land.
Before she died, she left Xie Heng an old ring.
Inside the ring was another world: vast fields of medicinal herbs and a library. One day outside equaled ten days inside.
Eight years ago, Xie Heng’s mother was bullied, her older brother went missing, and her mother fell ill and returned to Jiangnan.
Eight years later, Xie Heng came back, bringing all her master’s knowledge, the secrets of the pocket dimension, and news that her brother was still alive.
This time, she would settle every debt, one by one, with interest.
First, she would empty the storerooms. Then she would take back control of the household and make everyone who had bullied her mother repay them on their knees.
After returning to the capital, she casually made a bar of soap, and the noblewomen went wild for it, lining up to get their hands on one.
The low-profile Seventh Prince came to her door to ask for a partnership.
Xie Heng casually gave him a recipe for white sugar, worth more than gold in this era.
Together, they made a fortune.
Later, he said, “Miss Xie, marrying me has to be better than marrying a stranger.”
Xie Heng: “...Get lost.”
Later still, she realized he might not be so annoying after all.
