Chapter 1: Horror, Getting Married

The 21st century, Director's Office of Donghai City High-Level Private Hospital.

With a "thud," a thick medical file was slammed violently onto the desk. Director Lin's face was livid, his fury uncontrollable. "Han Yunxi, Mr. Li is one of the directors of the Lingyun Group. He holds 40% of our hospital's equity! You must prioritize his detoxification treatment!"

Facing the Director's towering rage, Han Yunxi kept her hands in the pockets of her white lab coat, remaining very calm.

"Director Lin, I am sorry, but Mr. Li has been affected by chronic snake venom. I do not allow line-cutting here unless it is an emergency."

She was pure and beautiful, with large eyes and a pair of small dimples. At a young age, she had become famous in the world of Traditional Chinese Medicine for her astonishing talent in acupuncture. She was a rare expert in detoxification; whether dealing with animal toxins, plant toxins, chemical toxins, or endogenous toxins within the human body, it was her specialty.

"Your here? Get this straight, this is Lingyun!" The Director stood up from his desk in a fit of rage, slamming his hand down.

"Director, I will reiterate once more. Mr. Li does not have an acute condition. No matter who he is, in front of a doctor, everyone is..."

Before Han Yunxi could finish her sentence, the Director interrupted sharply, "Enough! Don't give me that 'everyone is equal before a doctor' nonsense; there are only men and women. Han Yunxi, I am telling you, arrange the detoxification immediately, or else, from this day forward, get the hell out of the medical profession!"

Warning her?

She had thought Han Yunxi would be afraid, but instead, she remained calm and composed, her attitude serious. "Director Lin, in front of me, there is also no distinction between men and women. There are only two types of people: those I want to save and those I do not. I will not save Mr. Li. Please find someone more capable!"

After speaking, she gave a polite smile, turned, and began to walk away. Her seemingly frail body was elegant and composed; within her quiet beauty lay an unyielding pride that could not be ignored.

However, just as Han Yunxi opened the door, Director Lin flew into a rage. "Han Yunxi, you dare speak to me like that? Stop right there!"

As he spoke, he casually hurled the medical file from the desk at the back of her head. Han Yunxi froze, feeling a warm, wet sensation slowly trickling down from the back of her head.

She turned her head in bewilderment, but before she could even cast a glance at Director Lin, her entire body collapsed...

***

Three thousand years ago, the Kingdom of Tianning.

Han Yunxi woke up groggily inside a bridal sedan chair. She heard a festive atmosphere all around her, with the sounds of suona horns, gongs, and drums rising and falling, but everything before her eyes was pitch black.

What was happening?

Han Yunxi pulled off the cloth covering her head and took a sharp breath of cold air. This... wasn't this a bridal veil?

Subconsciously, she tilted her head up and then down, only to find herself dressed in a phoenix crown and ceremonial robes, looking exactly like a bride on her wedding day... She was stunned!

The sedan chair jolted up and down, giving Han Yunxi a headache. At that moment, fragments of unfamiliar memories began to flood into her mind.

Without a doubt, she had transmigrated, and she had transmigrated right into a wedding!

The original owner of this body was the legitimate daughter of the Han family, a prestigious medical clan in the Kingdom of Tianning, also named Han Yunxi. Because her biological mother possessed extraordinary medical skills and had saved the Empress at the time—who was now the Empress Dowager—she had been betrothed since childhood to the Seventh Prince of that time, who was now Prince Qin, Long Feiye. At the time, it was even celebrated as a beautiful tale, and the Han family's status had soared because of it.

But no one knew that Han Yunxi had brought misfortune to her biological mother from birth, and had grown up to be a useless, ugly woman who knew nothing of medicine. Consequently, the marriage had been delayed repeatedly, becoming a taboo subject regarding Prince Qin. However, a few days ago, Prince Qin had angered the Emperor, and with a single decree from the Emperor, a wedding date was set to be completed before the end of the month.

Today was the day of the grand wedding.

Prince Qin, Long Feiye, had been enfeoffed as a prince in his youth and was the only remaining prince in the struggle for the throne. He was only in his early twenties, yet in terms of seniority, he was the current sole Imperial Uncle, making him arguably the most powerful person in the Kingdom of Tianning.

The Prince Qin Mansion was in the south of the city, while the Han family was in the north. The bridal sedan had to travel through the city from north to south. Even though Prince Qin himself had not appeared, his wedding drew tens of thousands of people out of their homes, causing a sensation throughout the entire city.

Just as Han Yunxi was organizing these memories, the festive music came to an abrupt halt. She heard the wedding matron cry out in alarm, "This is bad, this is bad! Something terrible has happened!"
