King of Zhennan's Shocking Discovery: Four Mini Versions of Himself

Bai Linglong, a top-tier physician from a modern medical clan, transmigrates into the body of the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Southern Qi. Upon awakening, she finds herself drugged with an aphrodisiac by her concubine-born half-sister, Bai Xinyao, and Concubine Li, who seek to destroy her reputation and seize her status. Desperate, she escapes into a neighboring room and encounters Nangong Yan, the King of Zhennan, who is suffering from a chronic poison. Using her medical knowledge and a special spatial system inherited from her past life, she neutralizes the drug and treats his poison, an encounter that binds their fates together. Upon returning to her courtyard, Bai Linglong discovers her spatial system has accompanied her, granting her access to rare herbs, advanced medical knowledge, and teleportation abilities. She resolves to fight back against her enemies rather than remain the meek victim the original host was known to be.

Concubine Li and Bai Xinyao, furious that their scheme failed, fabricate a story that Bai Linglong eloped with a man. When Bai Linglong returns, she confronts them in the Marquis’s study, slapping Concubine Li and exposing their lies with cold precision. The Marquis, though angry at the disruption, punishes the concubine by halving her allowance and confines Bai Linglong to her courtyard for half a month, a decision that allows the antagonists to plot further. Undeterred, the mother and daughter seek out a sorcerer from the Western Regions who specializes in Gu parasites. They purchase a lethal Soul-Eroding Gu, intending to poison Bai Linglong during her upcoming birthday celebration. However, Bai Linglong, having overheard their plans, uses her spatial powers to secretly transfer the poison from her food to Bai Xinyao’s plate. The curse takes effect on Bai Xinyao, causing agonizing pain and near-death symptoms that the household physicians cannot treat.

Concubine Li, desperate to save her daughter, pays the sorcerer a hefty sum for an antidote. The sorcerer extracts the Gu parasite, saving Bai Xinyao but leaving the conspirators humiliated and defeated. Still unwilling to accept loss, Concubine Li recruits her cousin, Zhou Wu, and a Jianghu poison master to assassinate Bai Linglong during a temple pilgrimage. Bai Linglong anticipates their move and uses her spatial abilities to fake her own death, appearing to fall off a cliff while secretly escaping with the family’s treasury. She relocates to Qingyan Mountain, where she purchases land and builds a secluded residence, accompanied by a loyal servant girl named Xiaocui whom she had rescued from thugs. There, she discovers she is pregnant with quadruplets, a fact she keeps secret while preparing for a peaceful life away from the Marquis’s residence.

During a trip to town, Bai Linglong witnesses a complicated childbirth that local doctors have declared fatal. Using her spatial hospital, she performs a cesarean section, saving both mother and child. The miraculous surgery attracts the attention of the local physician, Doctor Zhang, who begs to become her apprentice. Bai Linglong accepts him, sharing medical texts and establishing a reputation as a miraculous doctor. Her fame eventually draws the attention of the Chen family, whose young master suffers from a mysterious illness. As Bai Linglong prepares to descend the mountain to treat him, the King of Zhennan, Nangong Yan, continues his relentless search for the woman who entered his room months prior, unaware that she is the same person he now seeks. The story concludes with Bai Linglong balancing her new life as a mother and healer while remaining a target for those who wish to reclaim her or destroy her, setting the stage for further conflicts with both her familial enemies and the powerful king.
