(The most important point comes first: this is a story about a heroine who transmigrates and a hero who is reborn.)
An Muqing was never one to be trifled with. If someone slapped her, she believed in slapping them back and adding interest. But once she entered the palace, she realized her laughable personal code was a joke. After being poisoned, blinded, and nearly stabbed to death, she finally understood the rules of survival in the palace. Simply giving her enemies a taste of their own medicine was like holding a knife to her own throat. The only sensible approach was to strike first and snuff out every ill intention directed at her before it could take root!
Once she came to this realization, the poisonous empress made her dazzling debut. The empress’s downfall and the consort’s demise were nothing compared to what came next!
An Muqing: “The Marquis of Qingzhou must have gotten his brains muddled by water. Someone, sprinkle salt on the marquis’s wound to clear his head. Let’s see if he can think of what to say to save his family’s chickens, ducks, cats, and dogs!”
The Marquis of Qingzhou: “An Muqing, you poisonous woman! You’ll die a horrible death!”
An Muqing laughed triumphantly. “You know I’m poisonous, yet you still refuse to behave and keep your head down. You got what you deserved for falling into the hands of a poisonous woman like me!”
The emperor led the way, and the Fourth Prince, the young Marquis of Yizhou, and the others chimed in: “Marquis of Qingzhou, you really did get what you deserved!”
