Shen Wantang, a modern emergency-room doctor, dies suddenly and wakes up in the body of the unlucky princess consort whom Prince Chu has cast aside.
Her predecessor died of a chill, but Shen Wantang’s troubles are only just beginning. Prince Chu’s old injury has flared up, he is in the early stages of sepsis, the Imperial Medical Bureau is helpless, and the entire manor is preparing for his funeral.
She picks up her medicine kit and pushes open the bedroom door. “I can save him. My condition is that you restore my title as princess consort.”
On the operating table, with no anesthesia and no sterile environment, she uses a scalpel to dig out an arrowhead fragment buried for three years. Then she uses antibiotics obtained through the System to snatch him from the jaws of death. Prince Chu survives, and the way he looks at her changes completely.
But she wants more than the title of princess consort. She wants to open a clinic, take on apprentices, challenge the Imperial Medical Bureau, and publish the formula for penicillin. From the prince’s manor to the battlefield, from plague outbreaks to palace coups, she carves out a path to survival in this ignorant age with her modern doctor’s hands.
He is her greatest ally, and she is his trump card. From mutual use to trust, from standing side by side to falling in love.
