"The Genius Little Poison Doctor" | When "Marriage First, Love Later" Meets Two A-Rank Kings, the Battle Reaches its Peak. Everyone says "marriage first, love later" is an old trope, but have you ever seen a story like this? On her wedding day, the bridal sedan chair was openly refused entry by her husband's family, becoming a laughingstock for the entire city. Everyone waited to hear the bride's cries, but what came from inside the sedan chair was a chillingly calm question: "Grandma Wang, when will you arrive tomorrow?" Han Yunxi is no pushover. She is a modern-day poison doctor genius, transmigrated to this world, possessing both skill and pride. Faced with the Qin Prince's show of force, her first reaction wasn't resentment, but an unyielding sense of control—"Do you want me to hold you responsible for leading the wrong way?" Her strength is a blade hidden beneath a calm surface. And her husband, Prince Qin, Long Feiye, is a powerful and ruthless war god. This marriage began as a cold transaction and a test. Two kings standing at the pinnacle of their respective fields were forced together, yet neither was willing to bow down. Thus, the mansion and the imperial court became their chessboard, and poison and political intrigue became their weapons in battle. This is not a story of who saves whom, but rather the collision and resonance of two powerful souls. From rivals who distrusted each other to partners who trusted each other implicitly through life and death, their love was tempered and born in the process of breaking through difficulties together time and time again. Han Yunxi's "fierceness" and Long Feiye's "ruthlessness" intertwine to create the most exciting symphony of two A's—the best love is to stand shoulder to shoulder with you and reach the pinnacle of the world together.

Reader note

"The Most Expensive Fifty Yuan" is clearly a hilarious and entertaining romance novel, judging from its synopsis! Ten years ago, Qin Yi owed Luo Shuangyu fifty yuan, causing her a beating before disappearing. Luo Shuangyu held onto this debt for ten years. Ten years later, Qin Yi returned. Dressed in a suit, he presented her with a million yuan and even helped her "scam" a project of astonishing value from her grandfather. Luo Shuangyu, still reeling from the sudden windfall, was led by the man and, in a daze, received a marriage certificate. It wasn't until Old Master Qin erupted in fury, slamming the two marriage certificates onto the expensive mahogany table and shouting, "I absolutely disagree!", That Luo Shuangyu finally snapped out of her daze. She stared at the glaring red certificate, her eyes widening even more than the old man's, so angry she was practically fuming. She pulled out her phone, ready to press a button: "Hello, 110? I need to call the police! Someone's making fake certificates here, committing marriage fraud! You're all dead!" Qin Yi calmly pressed her hand down, and under her furious gaze, leaned close to her ear, his voice laced with triumphant laughter: "Baby, the certificate is real. The interest is paid off, and you should be mine now." "Who said this is paying off a debt?" He waved the recent bank transfer notification on his phone, raising an eyebrow. "One million was the dowry, and that fifty yuan… is a deposit to buy your life."
