A Life of Splendor: The Poisonous Consort Rules All

There are rumors.

The sixth daughter of the Bai family was born extraordinarily ugly, a bona fide triple failure with no looks, no money, and no parents.

As if being born with half her life already ruined weren’t enough, she was hopeless at both literature and martial arts, and ended up a fool.

Until one day...

“The Bai family’s sixth daughter? She’s a real badass! Cross her and she’ll whip out her needles and stick you again and again and again... She’s my idol!” That’s what Old Wang’s aunt from across the street had to say.

She was an abandoned baby left at the entrance of an orphanage in a frozen wasteland. Raised by a family of doctors, she was a gifted genius who refused to follow the broad, easy path and instead loved to make things difficult for herself. They called her the Poison Doctor.

A doctor by trade, she specialized in using poison to save lives. On an auspicious day, she was ambushed and died by her own poison!

She was a daughter of the Bai family, one of the four great families of the dynasty. But those around her who were still alive were all ungrateful wolves. At home, people mocked her for her ugliness; outside, they beat and bullied her at will for being a fool. Then, one day... she starved to death, a pathetic end.

When the dead opened her eyes once more, the tides of the world were destined to turn at her arrival. A foreign soul had come into the world. Who would rule over its rise and fall?

From that day on, the world had one fewer good-for-nothing, and one more figure so dazzling that the sun and moon paled beside her.

He was mysterious and powerful, and no one knew where he came from. They knew only that he was the god whom all five continents bowed down to and worshiped.

He had been supreme, untouched by worldly affairs.

Then, in an instant, everything changed!

At last, the god in the clouds fell to become a man on earth.

Losing your memory isn’t the worst of it. The worst is being worth just one silver coin.

From king of the palace to its gatekeeper, he spent his days covered in dust, with one mishap after another.

She had always planned for every eventuality.

Yet twice, at different times, she had misjudged someone.

She thought the warmth of her family from her previous life was still there, never realizing that murderous intent lurked beneath the surface.

She thought the person before her was a clumsy, scatterbrained fool. Little did she know, while she guarded against thieves day after day, she had invited the greatest thief of all right into her home.

She thought he was just another passerby among the countless people in the world, never realizing it had all been fated!

He spent three lifetimes waiting for her, just to see again the long-lost figure of this life, and endured ten thousand years of loneliness all by himself.

The world said he had no feelings or desires.

Little did they know that his heart and soul had long since been lost to one person: “Ling, the sky above and the earth beneath our feet exist because of you. Tell me... have you ever loved me?”
