Lu Ranchi was just one step away from ascending to immortality! But she failed her tribulation, and a bolt of heavenly lightning sent her back to her previous life!
In her previous life, the entire General's household gave their lives for their country,
leaving her, a lone orphan, to scrape by with a pile of treasures.
On the surface, the despicable emperor, twenty-two years her senior, bestowed the title of Noble Consort on her in the name of compensation. In truth, he was making it easier to take over her family's wealth!
Jiang Wan wanted her position as Crown Princess. The despicable emperor said, “Granted!”
In short, whenever Jiang Wan took a fancy to something, her followers would use every means at their disposal to force Lu Ranchi to hand it over to her!
Lu Ranchi fought back, only for the despicable emperor to send her to the Cold Palace!
She sought revenge against Jiang Wan, but in the end the emperor had her tongue cut out, the Crown Prince gouged out her eyes, and her limbs severed to turn her into a human swine...
She was left unable to live or die, and after several years of barely surviving, she met a tragic end!
Reborn, Lu Ranchi finally understood that in the cultivation world, people like Jiang Wan were called the favored children of Heaven!
Anyone who crossed her was doomed to a miserable fate.
So Lu Ranchi only wanted to stay away from Jiang Wan and her followers!
She would cultivate anew, overcome her inner demons, and ascend to immortality!
But Jiang Wan and her followers stuck to Lu Ranchi like dog-skin plasters, impossible to scrape off.
One moment they were poisoned, the next they were gravely ill! She couldn't avoid them, so she might as well treat them. She was short on money anyway!
Lu Ranchi's three principles for treating patients:
First, treatment is available, but the meter is always running.
Second, the closer you are to Jiang Wan, the more you pay!
Third, you can hit her, but there are no discounts!
Content warnings:
A powerful female lead who is decisive and ruthless! One slash, one kid down.
The male lead is decisive, ruthless, and fiercely protective. Neither of them has a savior complex.
Direct writing, melodrama, and original worldbuilding. If that's not your thing, move along.
