Description
Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.Easily cowed and bullied, she was the useless, ugly woman with no talent in medical skills. Supported by millions, he was Tianning’s most respected duke with the power to move all under Heaven. On their wedding day the bridal sedan was carried to the front doors, but the Duke of Qin’s gates were shut tight.
They told her, ‘Come back tomorrow.’
All alone, she walked step-by-step full of pride through the duke’s doors. Little could they imagine, this unattractive good-for-nothing was a beautiful, genius doctor of poisons!
—
After transmigrating to the past, poisons expert Han Yunxi finds herself on the verge of being married off to the country’s second most powerful man, the Duke of Qin. Her future life seems set–except her husband is an unfeeling ice block, her in-laws think she’s a eyesore, the empress dowager wants to use her for her own goals, and poison-related plots abound.
Alone, the intelligent (and sensible) Yunxi must carve her own space from the intricate web of court intrigue and the jianghu, relying on her words, wits, and wisdom to survive. Adapt when necessary, use force when required; to survive and thrive is the name of the game to a prosperous life.
No matter what, she’ll prove her right to live!

- Slow-burn romance
The MC for PGC doesn't have any heaven-defying medical skills; she only has an advantage due to transmigrating from modern times. She's heavily reliant on her system for all the problems she and the ML face (which all happen to be poison-related, for some reason? Feels like they're just there to help the MC show off her usefulness and skills) but shows no sign of trying to upgrade her personal skills or circumstances, unlike in SPDP where the MC actively takes action to guarantee her survival by carrying out elaborate backup plans in case life in her husband's territory becomes less than ideal. And the romance: I dropped this because they weren't going anywhere, and the random kiss scene that appeared out of nowhere but still made the MC go 'What the hell? Though I kind of like it' was the last straw for me. I get that it's meant to be slow-burn, but slow-burn doesn't mean barely any progression for 200+ chapters. The author tries to make up for the lack of communication by telling us what the MC and ML (along with reactions from random people whenever the ML does something that he "normally wouldn't do for anyone, much less a girl he was reluctant to marry") think from their perspective, but that's it. Whenever I think it's finally going to move, the ML pushes her away but the MC always tries to find a (somewhat shallow) explanation (= how attractive the ML is) to stay and somehow fall harder in love with him. It's a classic trope of tsunderes pushing and pulling, though this process has been rinsed and repeated so many times that it's just painful to read. Plus, I can't tell why the ML has feelings for the MC. Whenever they talk about each other, it's always how he thinks her poison skills are useful, and how she thinks he's attractive. There's no notable cause to warrant the reasoning behind why he's suddenly so agreeable with her when he's meant to be some unfeeling Greek god who doesn't give anyone, much less women (yikes) the time of day. Another thing I don't understand is the many reviews commending her independence. She stands up for herself when she faces biased or unfair injustice, but she's also incredibly dependent on her poison system which lowkey does all the work for her at this point, and the benefits the ML's title gives her. That's a little contradictory, no? In the reviews, she's also praised for not being overpowered and facing realistic problems (well, as realistic as scenarios in these novels can be), but that's the thing: she won't be able to handle anything more. She's not a fighter nor a schemer: she's just a mediocre doctor who needs her poison system to help her get out of every problem she faces. Take the system away from her and she'll become a side character who has proficiency in poison-coated needles but an inability to properly protect herself. She wouldn't be able to stand by the ML's side as a subordinate, much less this grand love interest who can bring him out of situations even the best of his people have no solutions for. Unlike in many similar novels, the ML isn't some pervy creep (who was supposedly this haughty person of power but is warm only to the MC) with a glib tongue and randomly touches the MC; however, he's cold and uncommunicative to an unreasonable extent where even if I were to try to find reasons for it, they still wouldn't make any sense, which makes the romance all the more unusual. Extra brownie points given to the translations though :) TLDR; Not worth the hype, though the plot isn't all that bad. The MC is lacking compared to the MC's of other rebirth/transmigration novels (e.g. Shen Miao from Rebirth of the Malicious Empress of Military Lineage, Jiang Ruan from The Rebirth of An Ill-Fated Consort, Lin Mengya from SPDP) that don't deal with martial arts and more on plotting schemes because the MC of this novel isn't a fighter (nor is she much of a schemer oof) but someone who only has poison skills to aid her husband in his goals. If you want to read a better executed version of this novel with romance that isn't so stiffly-written, I'd recommend Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess.
