Li Zhichun is the kind of heroine who fights fire with fire and never lets a grudge go unanswered. Her motto is, “If you make my life miserable, I’ll make your whole family miserable.”
There are two kinds of people she hates most: those surnamed Zhao and those surnamed Pei.
Run into an enemy? Just poison them. Meet a prince? One dose of knockout powder, no need to discuss it. She’s not the traditional sort of doctor who goes on about a healer’s compassion and only saves the sick and wounded. Researching deadly poisons is one of her greatest passions.
Anyone unlucky enough to offend her is in for a world of trouble. She’s bold, clever, sharp-minded, emotionally intelligent, and a master of psychological warfare.
Aside from studying poisons, she has another hobby: acting. Her motto is, “Act until your enemies break, your beloved weeps, and you end up heartbroken yourself.”
Her medical skills are superb. Her vitality is extraordinary. Her combat strength is unknown.
Pei Zhao is a prince who seems sharp-tongued and scheming but is actually a lovesick puppy. With no maternal family to support him, and not even knowing where his mother is, he has endured a hard life in the imperial palace, yet he has always treated people with kindness.
Still, as someone known as the “Blue Jacaranda of the Mortal Realm,” he naturally has ambitions of his own and a ruthless streak.
Finding his mother and claiming the throne are both essential. Only by taking that supreme seat can he protect the people he cares about and do what he wants.
Before falling for Li Zhichun, he said, “I’m a sword without a hilt. If you want to use me, you’ll have to pay a price.”
After falling for Li Zhichun, he said, “I forged a hilt for myself, so even if I get hurt, you won’t.”
