One day, Lan Yushang inexplicably transmigrates into the corpse of a woman with the same name. In life, the original owner was a concubine of Prince Chen, but she was so ugly as to be unbearable to look at. The once stunning Lan Yushang has become an ugly old toad whom everyone despises.
Prince Chen says, “My wife only knows needlework. How could she know anything about poisoning?”
Then the Princess Consort visits the General's residence, and everyone in the household is poisoned.
Prince Chen says again, “My wife comes from a distinguished family. She's a delicate flower who can't lift a hand or carry a thing.”
Then the Princess Consort grips a sword in one hand and a whip in the other, hacking down rebellious ministers and whipping treacherous villains. In just one hour, she wipes out an entire household.
Prince Chen says yet again, “My wife is gentle and obedient. She's always either making me tea or soaking my feet!”
Everyone else: “You know Her Toadship is fierce and formidable. If you can't handle her, just say so! Or get on your knees when you talk to her. Don't expect us to feel sorry for you!”
