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.

Climbing the high branch.

"Your Highness, I guess Mama Li should know about this too." Eunuch Jiu respectfully bowed his head, apologizing for formality yet he had no regret of going against Xuan Cheng. 

Mama Li stared at Eunuch Jiu with a puzzled expression. "Am I reading this correctly, or is it because my vision has been blurred by my old age?" she questioned. 'It's written Huan...?' Mama Li expressed her confusion, as she had interpreted it as (Huán), meaning joy or happiness, rather than 'Huan,' the name of the bride-to-be."

"Mama Li, it's Huan, our Huan, the manager!" Eunuch Jiu articulated frustratingly. "What nonsense are you spouting! This is a betrothal contract of the Crown Prince, if anybody name should be written here, it should our Princess Xuan Cheng and not her handmaid. A mere slave!" Mama Li scolded him. 

"No, but the truth is before your eyes, it's Huan whom Crown Prince wants to marry." Eunuch Jiu confirmed with a sigh.
