Taking On the Demonlike Crown Prince

In the centenary of the Great Qing, a remarkable crown prince named Yun Poyue appeared. He excelled in both civil and military pursuits, and was as handsome as a jade tree in bloom. He was hailed as the greatest scholar and most beautiful man under heaven. Unfortunately, the crown prince was only human, and no one is perfect. His Highness also had another nickname: the Money-Sucking Beast.

Wherever Yun Poyue went, officials lived in constant fear and kept their guard up, afraid their silver would end up in the crown prince's pockets. Even so, the people of the whole country loved him more than they hated him. In their eyes, Yun Poyue was a god.

The Great Qing also had a woman named Hua Nongying, whose reputation was just as famous. She was as beautiful as a flower, but knew nothing of music, chess, calligraphy, painting, or needlework. People called her a lovesick fool and a useless dimwit. A woman like that ought to have been kept at home, out of sight and out of mind. But thanks to her having once saved the emperor, she managed to keep all of the capital's most eligible men on tenterhooks: the crown prince and two princes. She broke the hearts of countless young women and girls, and was hated to the core. Then one day, after angering the Fourth Prince, she was flung against a wall and killed. The whole city cheered.

When Hua Nongying woke again, she was a modern-day genius who excelled in both medicine and science. She would never put up with being bullied and mocked all day. Yun Poyue had even started setting his sights on her. Just wait, you Money-Sucking Beast. Open your dog eyes and see what a true genius looks like! Once she had made enough money, who would dare call her a lovesick fool and a useless dimwit? And then she would definitely, definitely dump that Money-Sucking Beast and get revenge for all the grievances she had suffered over the years!
