Su Qingyuan, the Legitimate Daughter of the Prime Minister's Household, Was Fed Poison by Her Stepmother to Disfigure Her

Su Qingyuan was the legitimate daughter of the prime minister's household, but her stepmother forced her to drink a poison that disfigured her, then made her marry in her younger sister's place to Jing Hao, the "Hell Hunter" who lived deep in the mountains.

Jing Hao was lame and cold-faced, a fearsome figure renowned for miles around. No one knew he had once been a war god famous throughout the court, until an ambush three years ago left him badly wounded and poisoned. He had hidden away in this place under an assumed name.

On their wedding night, she saw at a glance that he had been struck by a deadly poison, the tendons in his right leg severed and his life nearly spent.

She calmly said, "I can cure your poison, mend your tendons, and have you holding a sword again within three months."

His gaze darkened. "And what do you want in return?"

She replied, "Marry me, protect me, and stay by my side for the rest of our lives."

Three years later, the war god returned, and the court was thrown into turmoil.

He took her hand and returned to the capital. Everyone who had plotted against him back then turned deathly pale and fell to their knees.

Dressed in red as vivid as blood, she stood beside him, a flash of silver swirling at her fingertips. "Husband, it's time to settle accounts with these people."

Everyone said the war god doted on his princess consort beyond measure. They never knew that the seemingly gentle "miracle doctor" in his arms was also a master of poison who could decide life and death with a single thought.
