The Ghost King and the Poison Doctor

On her wedding day, she is forced to walk ten miles to marry the crown prince, the most handsome man in the realm. Her father uses her as a pawn, while her stepmother and older sister stage the whole thing to get revenge on her. In front of the watching crowd, she suddenly bursts into wild laughter and runs without hesitation into the sedan chair of the Ghost King, the most feared man in the realm. She even pulls back the curtain and kisses him in full view of everyone. Thus the third young lady of the Prime Minister's household, once a crown prince's concubine who “strictly observed a woman's virtue,” becomes Cang Xueyue, a woman branded “shameless and despicable.” Yet no one knows just how dazzling a soul is hidden inside that once timid and weak body. She is the twenty-third head of an ancient medical family. Few know that she is a brilliant physician, while in secret she is a “poison doctor.” Give her a silver needle, and she can take the life of anyone who displeases her in an instant. When the timid, stammering girl is possessed and reborn by a poison doctor feared by all, what kind of storm will she unleash in this world? He is the third prince of the Cangyue Kingdom, known as the “Ghost King.” They say he is bloodthirsty, born under an ill star, and that every woman by his side dies because of him. Behind a silver mask lies a hideously ugly face. Cold and heartless, he cares nothing for anyone's life, yet somehow his heart melts the thousand-year ice for one woman... When she sees him suffer unbearable agony from a strange poison every fifteenth day of the month, she secretly swears that if the “poison doctor” ever finds out who brought him to this state, she will repay them a hundredfold and never let them off! When the wickedly charming poison doctor meets the scheming Ghost King, whose heart will be lost, and whose eyes will be bewitched? The truth is, what they want has been right beside them all along, and they will never leave each other. Bonus Scene 1 On their wedding night, the Ghost King appears before her in a silver mask and a black cloak. With a wicked smile, he lifts her chin and licks her soft red lips. “Woman, aren't you afraid of me?” “I never knew the Ghost King had a taste for being abused. You've certainly opened my eyes, but tell me, Ghost King, are you really as the rumors say?” The woman smiles with breathtaking beauty. She presses a silver needle against him, lifts his chin with one finger, and gives him a wicked smile. “You'll find out.” The Ghost King smiles instead of getting angry. He removes his silver mask, grabs her hand so she can't move a muscle, and presses his lips to hers. Bonus Scene 2 “Xuan Yuan Jinchen, look what your wife has done! She kicked the crown prince into the water!” The emperor glares angrily at the expressionless Ghost King and the perfectly calm woman. “Why did you kick him in?” the Ghost King asks indifferently, as if he were asking about the weather. “He touched me here.” The woman takes the Ghost King's hand and places it on her calf. Then, looking entirely innocent, she adds, “He also tried to kiss me with his mouth.” Splash! The crown prince has just struggled back to the surface when he is knocked under again, leaving only bubbles rising above the water. The emperor sees this and promptly dies of rage...
