    "I, the Strongest Poison Master, Called the Living Yama by the Empress" is an ancient romance novel with a time-travel theme. Author Xingxingzi unfolds the story from the unique perspective of a "poison master." The protagonist, Gao Yang, travels to the Great Qian Dynasty, just as the Empress ascends the throne amidst internal and external troubles. He volunteers to become the Empress's strategist, relying on his "poisonous schemes." The novel's main thread is the interaction between Gao Yang and Empress Song Qingqing, featuring both thrilling court intrigue and profound reflections on human nature. Gao Yang's "poisonous schemes" not only subvert traditional morality but also resolve national crises with unexpected strategies. For example, he uses a "monkey-playing scheme" to exploit human greed, getting the people to voluntarily cultivate wasteland, saving labor costs and efficiently completing tasks, earning him the title of "Living Yama" from the Empress. The novel boasts a tight plot, vivid characters, and a blend of tension in court struggles with the protagonist's growth and humor, making it a masterpiece that combines depth and excitement.
