The Imperial Capital Is Shaken: The Concubine’s Daughter and Her Sickly Family Rebel

Lu Ning transmigrates into a book, becoming a cannon-fodder supporting character from a family of physicians in a wish-fulfillment novel. She is forced to take the place of the legitimate daughter and marry into the Jiang merchant family, notorious for having a sickly heir. To her surprise, the Jiang family is full of crooked branches: the eldest son is foolish, the second has an eye condition, the third is paralyzed from the waist down and confined to a wheelchair, and the fourth is deaf. The System tells her: “Just look at how pitiful they are. Complete a mission and earn a million. Keep going until you’ve built up a thirty-million prize pool, then take it all home. How does that sound?” “Deal.” Lu Ning takes on her missions, using her medical skills and courage to handle all kinds of trouble at the door and help her innocent, foolish husband and her three brothers-in-law, each suffering from a hidden ailment. At first, her brothers-in-law reject her and come up with all sorts of ways to drive her out. Until the three of them are eating their fill and calling everything delicious. “Then Ning, this family would fall apart without you.” “Sister-in-law, nothing matters more than building a good life together.” As Lu Ning’s reputation grows, she becomes the palace’s first female physician and rises steadily through the ranks. But… things are getting stranger and stranger. A palace coup erupts. Lu Ning stares at the four men she knows all too well, clad in armor as they slaughter the rebel soldiers. “Sweetie… since when can you fight? And why do all these dead soldiers obey you?” Jiang Beichen looks aggrieved. “Ning, I’m strong and healthy now. I know a little martial arts so I can protect you. What dead soldiers? I don’t know them.” “Second Brother, didn’t you have an eye condition? Couldn’t you see?” Jiang Zilan licks the blood from his knife. “Sister-in-law, my eyes can’t see, but my heart can.” “Then… how come Third Brother can run around on those legs?” Jiang Jingyu smiles gently. “Thanks to your daily acupuncture treatments, Jingyu recovered so quickly.” “Fine. Are we still keeping up the deaf act for Fourth Brother?” Jiang Yu’an lowers his eyes and smiles. “I’ll stop pretending, Sister-in-law.”
