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.

The Glory of the night glitters again

The first tune of zither marked the commencement of the spectacular night, gathering in noble and sophisticated attires began to settle down, the bustling lamps hanging above their heads make them gasp in bewilderment. Such meticulous decoration and delicate crafts could only be witnessed in the Imperial Palace. 

Tea Appreciation Gathering, is what they called it, but instead, it was a gathering to look for a side consort or even concubine. It is usually done through a number of selections and competition, but the emperor is supposed to approve of it. For some reason, the Emperor kept rejecting the memorandum and strictly refused any sorts of concubine selection without his permission.

This doesn't mean a prince cannot take in a concubine but there won't be a selection that would consist of countless women coming to the Imperial palace. So, the Empress Dowager and the imperial noble consort came up with a sneaky way.
