Reborn, I’d Never Become a Noblewoman Again

In her previous life, she was the envy of everyone in the capital, a lady honored with an imperial title. She wrote medical books for her worthless husband, raised his concubine-born children, and served her parents-in-law. In the end, she was rewarded with the confiscation of her family’s property, the execution of her entire clan, and a life alone. Reborn, she faces Shen Huaiqing, a hypocrite who has come to propose marriage, and kicks over the rooster he brought with him. Why are you strutting around like a soaring goose when you’re just a chicken on the ground? “I’m not calling off this engagement. I’ll drag it out and make sure you stay a bachelor for life.” She torments the concubines, saves her birth mother, studies medicine, takes control of the household, becomes an imperial physician, and saves the emperor. Zeng Zhuo grows into the most formidable legitimate daughter in the capital. A physician should aspire to heal the world and protect the people’s health. [Bonus Scene] Lin Zhao, master of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, is known as the Night Yama: cold, ruthless, and a prolific killer. When they first meet, Zeng Zhuo foolishly feels for his pulse. Lin Zhao sneers. “Does the Zeng family want to be executed to the last member?” Later, at court, the chief physician of the Imperial Medical Academy frames the Zeng family, and every official in the hall falls silent. Only the Night Yama strides in over a carpet of blades and tosses Zeng Zhuo’s medicine pouch onto the emperor’s desk. “I hear that Physician Zeng is highly skilled and can cure my ‘hidden ailment.’ Physician Zeng, I wonder if you’re satisfied with my betrothal gifts?” The entire court erupts. “If His Majesty has any objections, I wouldn’t mind finding another emperor to sit on this throne.” Zeng Zhuo wipes away a cold sweat. Big brother, aren’t you supposed to be sick? Why are you using your illness as an excuse to propose? You don’t care if you live, but I do!
