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.

Blood and tears

"Your Highness!" Maid Qu screamed; Huan had not even entered the side chambers and ran in the direction of her voice. "What happened?" she asked, imagining what the worst could have happened. Maid Qu's voice had been audible to Eunuch Jiu and the head guard, who rushed in with a heaviness that engulfed their hearts, unable to comprehend the reason for her scream.

Xuan Cheng lay unconsciously on the floor; the trails of dried-up water were visible and so was the blood that had been dripped from her body when the sharp edges of broken ceramic pieces pierced through her skin. "What happened to Her Highness?" Maid Qu started crying as she approached her after Huan, and both of them began to lift her up and place her on the stool.

"Why did her heart bleed?" she questioned to herself, extremely puzzled.

"Don't you see those pieces of vases?" Maid Qu replied as she inspected one of the pieces.
