From the prologue to the excerpt, we're drawn into an East Asian world where alchemy is the norm, from immortality to reanimation. Our MC is morally gray; she plans to leave her life with her relatives by saving enough to go to the capital, and she'll do it for any price. She does this by bringing corpses back to life. The writing style and characterization are done well, and I look forward to how the story will go, especially since the art she practices is illegal and punishable by death.
The cover doesn't seem to match the excerpt; it looks as though the MC is a noblewoman who does necromantic alchemy when she's not unless this is an allusion to her becoming a noblewoman in the palace and using her art.
