Poison Master: The Estranged Heiress

Trapped within the damaged walls of her mansion located in Yuchang City, Princess Cheng found herself confined alongside her grandmother, a fallen figure within the royal circle. The elder royal was placed under house arrest, accused of involvement in promoting illicit markets and fostering corruption within the realm. Xuan Cheng, residing in poverty alongside her grandmother and two aged attendants, was compelled to mature prematurely due to these circumstances. Motivated by a fierce will to escape poverty and make sure that no one could mistreat her, Xuan Cheng committed herself to learning a variety of trades and skills in order to support herself. Xuan Cheng was gifted with the ability to heal herself in addition to her grandfather's Seven Cultivation and grandmother's Jade Eyes. She immerses herself in her grandfather's collection of books and risks everything to cultivate fearlessly on her own. At night, she would go out and battle evil cultivators who would frequently obstruct her travel plans. She founded "Duyi Pharmacy" in order to aid the underprivileged and give back to the Almighty in the form of charitable donations. Xuan Cheng is a lone cultivator of Qi who exceeded the Tian Limit. In a world where the Evil Lord had eradicated factions and groups of cultivators, Xuan Cheng encountered someone akin to her: Prince Zhao Ming, the sole individual wielding demonic Qi across the entire Diqiu realm. They both had weaknesses that affected each other, but their unspoken love made them each other's pillars of strength. Betrayal by people they trusted brought them closer, forcing them to rely on each other even more. However, fate kept testing them with many challenges and trials.

Empress Dowager was fuming as Xuan Cheng talked back to her but she ignored her because of her special identity, it was sure that she was Grand Empress Dowager's side. 

Besides, her priority was the choosing some good ladies for the princes, "Empress, look at them, which lady look pleasing to your eyes?" Empress Dowager asked, inhaling a deep breath making herself comfortable with the empress' presence. 

Empress Chun understood as she already had a gist of the confidential motives. She nodded and turned her gazes upon the young ladies, and she noticed them trying to see someone particularly, however she glanced Xuan Cheng who was staring into nothingness.

She giggled inwardly as she saw other young ladies feeling anxious and confused, they were exchanging glances standing still. "Ask them to sit," Empress commanded and the servants gestured them all to sit down as well as the Madams on the right side.
