[One-on-one romance + divine doctor consort + character development + badass heroine]
He is a regent who holds power over the court. She is the foolish, dim-witted daughter of the Ye family, and also a legendary physician skilled in both medicine and poison.
Her scumbag father takes all her property, her stepmother treats her like a dog, her half-sisters bully and insult her, and her scumbag fiancé breaks off their engagement and uses her. No matter. With her mastery of medicine and poison, she’s invincible across the land.
When the white lotus frames her, one dose of poison turns her into a fool.
When her stepmother poisons her, she makes her lose her beauty.
When her scumbag fiancé climbs the social ladder on her back, one silver needle makes him permanently infertile.
In private, she rips into everyone and everything. In public, she plays the pitiful little white rabbit: “Uncle, my hand hurts...”
The man’s gaze turns icy. “Who dared bully my beloved consort?”
The battered crowd, weeping in pain: Regent, please open your eyes and take a look!
