“My head… it hurts!”
Bai Linglong jolted awake from unconsciousness, clutching her head tightly as cold sweat poured down her forehead and temples, soaking her pale, paper-white face.
A surge of memories that didn’t belong to her came flooding into her mind like a crashing tide.
Only then did she realize—she had transmigrated into the body of the legitimate daughter of a Marquis’ residence in the Southern Qi Kingdom.
Before she could even fully process this information, an unbearable heat suddenly surged from deep within her, rapidly spreading throughout her entire body.
Bai Linglong immediately realized—she had been drugged with an aphrodisiac.
Following that, scenes of the original host being schemed against by her concubine-born half-sister Bai Xinyao and Mother played out more vividly in her mind.
“Hmph, Sister, today will be your end. The title of legitimate daughter of this Marquis household will soon be mine.”
Bai Xinyao’s sharp, triumphant voice still seemed to echo in her ears.
“My good daughter, as long as we destroy her purity, she’ll never be able to stand firm in the Marquis household again, let alone compete with you.”
The voice of the concubine was dripping with venom.
Bai Linglong gritted her teeth, forcing herself to endure the blazing torment surging through her body, and struggled to her feet.
At that moment, she heard the hushed whispers of two servant girls outside the door.
One of the young maids asked curiously,
“Are you sure about this? Second Miss and the Concubine planned this together—can it really be true?”
“Of course! With the two of them joining forces, how could it not be?”
The other maid lowered her voice, her tone tinged with malicious glee.
“Very soon, the Eldest Miss will be sent into the room of the man they arranged in advance. There’s no way she’ll keep her purity now.”
Just then, the two maids were called away.
Bai Linglong’s heart tightened. She would never sit around and wait for doom.
Taking advantage of their absence, she forced her trembling legs to move, stumbling as she rushed to the door.
Flinging it open, she slipped unnoticed into the room next door.
Inside, the dim candlelight flickered.
Hearing the commotion, Nangong Yan lifted his gaze. His eyes were sharp as blades as they landed on Bai Linglong, his cold voice cutting through the air:
“Who are you? How dare you barge into this King’s room?”
His voice was low and frosty, exuding an undeniable authority.
Bai Linglong, tormented by the effects of the aphrodisiac, was dazed and disoriented. When her gaze fell upon Nangong Yan’s extraordinarily handsome face, a feverish impulse overtook her. Without thinking, she reached out to undo his robe.
Startled and furious, Nangong Yan tried to resist, but the chronic poison afflicting his body rendered him weak and powerless. He could only roar in anger,
“You dare touch me?”
Bai Linglong’s cheeks burned, her eyes clouded yet fierce.
“There’s nothing This Lady doesn’t dare to do!” she declared boldly.
“I’ll use you to neutralize the drug, and afterward I’ll detoxify you and treat your legs!”
With that, her trembling hands pulled out a small porcelain vial from her chest and forced the medicine into Nangong Yan’s mouth.
The intertwining effects of the two drugs slowly stirred an ambiguous atmosphere, thickening the air with tension.
After that night, Bai Linglong turned to flee, but a sudden, searing pain pierced her skull—like a thousand steel needles stabbing at once.
She clutched her head tightly, and just as she was on the verge of passing out, a surge of surprise and delight hit her—her exclusive spatial system, inherited as the head of a modern top-tier physician clan, had crossed over with her!
The unexpected boon calmed her frantic heart in an instant. Her gaze fell upon the unconscious Nangong Yan lying on the bed.
With a cold snort, Bai Linglong strode over and placed her fingers on Nangong Yan’s wrist to take his pulse.
Moments later, a disdainful smirk tugged at the corner of her lips.
“A mere trace of poison like this, and you thought it could defeat me? There’s no poison This Lady can’t cure.”
With a thought, Bai Linglong entered her spatial system.
Inside the vast space filled with rare medicinal herbs and elixirs, she skillfully retrieved a precious Universal Antidote Pill.
This antidote was the product of years of painstaking effort, crafted from countless rare herbs she had meticulously refined. Without hesitation, she fed it to Nangong Yan.
Watching the pill slide down his throat, Bai Linglong clapped her hands.
“Solving things with a single dose of medicine—piece of cake.”
