Once known as the 'Master of Ten Thousand Poisons'—a legendary master of toxins without peer—Tang So-hwa receives an unexpected second chance. Reborn and reunited with the father, siblings, and household members she thought lost forever, she makes a solemn vow: to shield the Tang Clan of Sichuan from destruction. While others vie for dominance in the Central Plains and scheme for influence within the Murim Alliance, Tang So-hwa's singular focus remains unchanged. Power, prestige, political alliances—none matter. Only the survival and prosperity of her family drives her. Yet fate has other plans. Her quiet determination to protect those she loves attracts an unexpected following. Orthodox sect leaders seek her counsel. Her words carry weight. Influence accumulates unbidden, transforming the Tang Clan of Sichuan into an unexpected force that shapes the very agreements that bind the martial world. "If the Tang Clan of Sichuan has taken this stand, surely there must be profound reason behind it." "There is no deeper meaning—you misunderstand my intentions entirely." "Your words ARE our understanding, young lady." "That is precisely the opposite of what I said." Bewildered by how common disciples hang upon her every utterance like devoted followers of a sect leader, Tang So-hwa finds herself at the center of a power she never sought—bound by duty to a family she will protect at any cost.
