(Feel-good story + daily life + lighthearted + medical skills + revenge and face-slapping)
Everyone in the capital knows that the eldest daughter of the Ma family was kidnapped and killed by bandits five years ago, leaving no body behind.
Five years later, she returned alive.
Dressed in coarse cloth and carrying a bundle with a mouse poking out of it, she stood smiling in the main hall of the Ma residence and said to the woman who had taken her mother’s place, “Second Madam, how have you been?”
Everyone thought she had simply been lucky enough to survive.
No one knew that during those five years, she had learned a whole range of skills in hell: identifying herbs, using silver needles, making deadly poisons, and treating every kind of illness. She had also built an intelligence network spanning the entire country.
She was back, and the flames of revenge would burn every last scoundrel to ashes. She would decide how this game played out!
Madam Xu wants to marry her daughter into the General’s estate and become part of the imperial family?
What a coincidence. She happens to be interested in the General’s second son, who has an old leg injury, a scarred face, and a solitary disposition.
Gu Yanyun asked, “What do you want from marrying me?”
Ma Shuyao gave him his first acupuncture treatment and smiled. “I want you to become the heir to the throne one day.”
Everyone in the capital knew that Miss Ma was a heartless scoundrel. But as Gu Yanyun gazed at the silver needle between her fingers and her cool, composed face, he couldn’t help thinking that he might have gotten the better end of this mutually beneficial arrangement.
