The Physician Consort’s Path to Power

She was a renowned military doctor, a brilliant talent celebrated throughout Asia, until a deliberate murder left her car wrecked and her dead... She was supposed to be the most honored legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's household, but her family despised her because she was born deaf and mute. Her wicked stepmother stole her mother's rightful place as wife and schemed to claim the generous dowry her mother had left her, driving her mother to die of grief. A plot, and an imperial edict of marriage. Her younger sister entered the palace as empress, while she was sent to a desolate, bitterly cold land. There she became the wife of a paralyzed, ailing prince. When she opened her eyes again, she had become her, and her splendor swept across the land. “He is my husband. Whoever tries to scheme against him or harm him, I will kill them all.” “She is the only woman I will ever take as my wife. If even a single hair on her head touches the ground, I will lay waste to the mountains and rivers and have the world flayed alive.” One man and one woman for life, a single devoted couple. A strong heroine and an even stronger hero, joining forces! [Highlight One] “Get out!” he roared. A porcelain vase came flying toward her. “Your Highness, it is time for your acupuncture.” Her unflinching voice rang out. She paid no heed to his contorted expression. She strode straight to the bed. The half-paralyzed man stared at her in shock, his phoenix eyes flashing. The woman scoffed. “Your Highness is surprised I can speak, aren't you?” She held out a book of secret techniques. The Great Compendium of the Yang Kingdom: It covers the heavens above and the earth below, reveals the future and understands past lives. A combination of Chinese and Western medicine... an unparalleled acupuncture technique... “This is what I have to thank.” A long, slender silver needle appeared between her jade-white fingers. “You're the sickly prince, and I'm the mute woman. The world already laughs at us. If you ever stand on your own two feet again, let's make a pact: we'll cut off the noses, gouge out the eyes, and tear out the hearts and lungs of everyone who tried to harm us. What do you say?” The man's dark eyes narrowed, a smile playing on his lips as an unusual light shone in his gaze. [Highlight Two] Xiangbei, a desolate land. Snow swirled through the air, and the cold was bitter. The guards brought in three hundred pots of crabapple blossoms in full bloom. Her eyes lit up with delight. He drew her into his arms. He whispered tenderly in her ear, “Dingchu, from now on, you should know that even our northern, freezing lands have spring.” She had once said that dead trees in the northern cold never saw spring. How had they grown these three hundred pots of flowers in temperatures below minus ten degrees? The effort and hardship it took were beyond imagination! [Highlight Three] That night. “Husband, someone insulted me yesterday.” “Who? What did they say? They must have a death wish.” The man in the yellow robe spoke with fierce authority. A dark, murderous glint flashed in his eyes. “E-Emperor... it was... this servant. Yesterday... I accidentally saw Her Majesty bathing.” Thump! The scrawny eunuch dropped to his knees, shaking with fear. “Gouge out his eyes, cut off all four limbs, and throw him into the mountains to feed the wolves. Let that be a warning to the rest.” “Husband, someone said I'm ugly.” “Who? Step forward.” “E-Emperor... a few days ago, this servant said... Her Majesty wasn't... as beautiful as the former empress.” A palace maid, deathly pale, knelt beside the eunuch. She stammered, trembling all over. “What insolence! Guards, rip out her tongue!” After his words, silence filled the palace. No one dared even breathe too loudly. From then on, everyone knew that the woman surnamed Yun was the treasure of the Emperor's heart. No one dared insult her, touch her, or bully her...
