[The novel has just been rated] Completed ◎ [Rebirth and revenge + doctor-poison mastery + mutual love between the two strong men + all the members' scheming + palace fighting] Highlight reminder: Refuse to outwit the villain, all members have 800 schemings, peak wits! In the previous life, Shen Nanzhi, the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo, went blind and worked hard to save the scumbag by using forbidden magic. What happened instead was that the scumbag and Bai Lian's cousin secretly set up Chen Cang, causing all the loyal members of her Shen family to die tragically! After Nirvana and rebirth, she held the silver needle in her hand and returned to the day when she introduced poison to the scumbag to extend her life. Faced with the scumbag's expectations and her cousin's fake crying, Shen Nanzhi sneered and withdrew the needle: "I don't understand the poison. Since my cousin is so affectionate, why don't you bleed and cut your flesh?" In this life, she has torn away the pretense, mastered both medicine and poisoning, and raised dead people from their flesh and bones! Xiao Duo, the regent of Dayuan, was the living king of hell with all the power in the government and the public, but he was tortured by strange poisons. Shen Nanzhi threw out the antidote and said coldly and arrogantly, "I will save your life. How about lending me your knife to kill all the monsters?" Everyone thought that Shen Nanzhi was just a delicate canary in the palm of the living hell. It wasn't until the powerful officials from all walks of life appeared on stage, and the decisive moves emerged one after another, that everyone was horrified to discover that the seemingly weak Shen Nanzhi was actually the full-level female Zhuge who was in charge of the world of chess and had all the plans! She and he faced life and death back to back, met gods and killed gods, and manipulated the civil and military forces of the entire dynasty at the palm of their hands! When the bloody road is cut through, the world will be at peace. The iron-blooded regent who had made Jiuzhou frightened had lost his venomous aura and tightly held her in his arms, with a low and crazy voice: "Zhizhi, the country has been decided. When will you give me a title?!" - The decisive and decisive medical poison queen × the crazy regent who bowed down for her!

It is a non-traditional novel about God. The heroine starts with the system in the early chapters. In the middle period, there is a power game. The situation is big and the system is also within the palm of your hand. Who would have thought that you would see a power game in a novel about God? Don't be dissuaded by the name. The heroine has low materialistic desires but not low sexual desires at all. She has an official wife, but there are many men. The car is very, very, very, very sexy! Be careful. The author has brains and has seen the appearance of wealthy families. It does not mean that you are rich if you drive a luxury car, live in a mansion or buy a yacht. You do not mean you have money if you buy and buy every day to show off your wealth. Under the power game, money is just the least valuable thing. Ps: I didn't like it at first, but I'll get over it after a while.
