Su Wan never thought that her life would end at the age of seventeen.
She huddled under the broken corridor of the City God's Temple, clutching the pieces of silver her grandma had washed and saved, and suddenly figured out——
There is a knife on Ren's head, and she doesn't want to bear this knife anymore.
She has a pair of eyes that can see through the hidden accounts of the Hou Mansion's three years of corruption, one stroke at a time, so that those silverfish can't hide.
She has a life, but the cold poison that enters her heart gives her the instinct to identify medicines and poisons. She can tell the real medicine and the fake medicine at the first touch.
She also has a knife, which was given to her by Xie Lin, the Marquis of Dingbei——
"With a monthly salary of fifty taels, I will investigate the bad debts of the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion for me."
"After the investigation, I will protect your life as well."
So she took over Jishitang, cleared away the moths in three days, and made a fortune in half a month.
So she formed a poison-purifying house, a ghost doctor, a descendant of the Medicine Valley, and a judge from the imperial hospital to change her fate against the will of heaven alone.
So she shaved off her long hair, put on yellow powder, changed her name, and stepped into the man-eating Marquis Mansion again——
This time, she wasn't here to beg. She is here to collect a debt.
At the flower viewing banquet, she personally presented the hundred-year-old fire Ganoderma lucidum that her aunt had asked for all over the world to the imperial concubine.
He also personally laid out all the evidence of Zhou's murder of his aunt, chronic poisoning for twelve years, and framing of his concubine on the Marquis of Jing'an's desk.
Amid the uproar, she heard a familiar deep voice coming from behind her.
"I have said that I will protect your life."
"But I never said that I would also take your people."
