My Young Master Is Always Sickly

Zhao Jie woke up, and the sky had fallen.

She had transmigrated into the body of a universally despised cannon-fodder character: the second "young master" of the Zhao household, a sickly girl disguised as a boy, unloved by both her father and mother. Her stepmother saw her as a thorn in her side, her elder brother guarded against her like a thief, and the servants fawned on the powerful and trampled the weak. Even the old yellow dog at the gate dared to bare its teeth at her.

Worse still, the "love rival" at the academy, from a powerful family, was sharpening his knife and threatening to kill her.

Everyone thought Zhao Jie would beg Qin Zhen for mercy, groveling at his feet, and lower herself to survive under her stepmother's thumb.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Jie calmly got to her feet, set up a small stove, and brewed medicine, adjusted prescriptions, and made pills. Dragging her sickly body along, she smiled and said:

"What's the rush? I'll kill them one by one..."
