Ning Wanqing, a fourth-year medical student, dies from overwork and transmigrates into the palace as the Zhao emperor's forty-seventh concubine, a Fifth-Rank Attendant. Her monthly stipend is five taels of silver, her charcoal allowance is thirty jin, and her entire fortune amounts to thirty-two taels and seven qian.
With no power or influence, her beauty is a death sentence. She feigns illness, keeps her abilities hidden, and donates all her savings to buy herself a chance to live. In the end, she volunteers to take the place of the eldest princess in a political marriage to Wei. On her wedding night, she is left alone; the Empress Dowager bestows three hundred and sixty palace rules upon her, while the Noble Consort sees her as a thorn in her side.
But she has a benevolence System: she earns merit by saving lives and changing fates, which she can exchange for modern medicine and acupuncture needles. In this man-eating harem, medicine is the only blade she has.
From discarded consort to physician consort, from pawn to player. She'll win this world with a scalpel.
