A bloodied hand broke through the layers of corpses in a mass grave.

Liu Jiao, a modern medical PhD, transmigrated into the body of a deposed empress who had been discarded after giving birth so that her child could be kept.

Forced labor-inducing drugs brought on her delivery. The noble consort took her newborn child, then a strip of white silk choked the life out of her before she was thrown into a mass grave.

By a stroke of luck, she survived. Hiding her identity, she traveled the land, saving lives with her miraculous medical skills until the common people hailed her as a living bodhisattva.

Three years passed in a flash.

Urgent news arrived from the capital: the crown prince was on the brink of death, and the entire Imperial Medical Bureau was helpless.

Wu Xuan, the tyrant who had once sentenced her to death, arrived in a rush, carrying his gravely ill son and begging her to treat him.

Morning mist shrouded the clinic. The emperor's eyes were shadowed, and he looked utterly worn out.

Liu Jiao glanced up coolly. “I can save him, for one letter of divorce and ten thousand taels of gold.”

Wu Xuan urged her in a deep voice, “My son is your son, too!”

A cold smile touched her lips. “Your Majesty is mistaken. The deposed empress, Lady Liu, died in that mass grave long ago. I am now merely a doctor.”

The crown prince's life was saved, but the tyrant went back on his word and refused to let her go, showing up at the clinic every day with his young son.

The soft-voiced child called her “Mother” again and again, while the supreme ruler of the empire pleaded with red-rimmed eyes for her to stay.

Liu Jiao gently waved her gleaming scalpel.

“You left me to die. Now you want me back? Get in line.”

From the day she crawled out of that pile of corpses, she vowed that for the rest of her life, she would be the one calling the shots.
