The Little Apothecary Clerk Who Won the Empress' Heart

share time: 2025-12-21 00:37:03

Lin Zhao, an apothecary apprentice killed by powerful nobles in his past life, is reborn as the lowest-ranked clerk in a Beijing apothecary—determined to stay low-profile, he accidentally saves Empress Shuning, Shen Wantang, who’s in disguise and comatose from poison. The legendary cold empress, rumored to have “slain three concubines with her own hands,” doesn’t kill him after waking up. Instead, she visits the apothecary daily: demanding pulse readings, forcing him to brew medicine, and even flaunting her imperial token to protect him from bullies. Lin Zhao is confused: isn’t this the “living Yama” empress? Why does she seem to be chasing him? Shen Wantang’s plan is simple—this clerk’s needles heal her decade-old wound, and more importantly, warm her heart frozen for twenty years. If he won’t take the first step, she’ll be the one to “bow” to him.
