Ling Qingmu, the legitimate daughter of a family of generals, spent fifteen years married to Nangong Shen, helping him seize the throne and secure the empire.
Who could have known that one imperial edict would condemn her entire family to execution, while Ling Qingmu met her end in a sea of flames in the wilderness?
Reborn, Ling Qingmu discovers that her soul can possess other bodies.
Whenever she tries to possess Prince Huai, the Xiao family's dissolute heir keeps getting in her way.
Ling Qingmu steers clear of the young lord Xiao. "Young Lord Xiao, we should stay out of each other's business. Why meddle?"
Young Lord Xiao looks at her with distaste. "You poisonous woman, keep your schemes to yourself. We'll each stay on our own side of the river, so don't interfere, or don't blame me for being ruthless!"
By a twist of fate, Ling Qingmu's soul ends up in Young Lord Xiao's body.
The usually arrogant young lord panics. "I'm not into men! Don't use my body to seduce men! Women, either. They're all trouble!"
Ling Qingmu smiles triumphantly.
Then Young Lord Xiao can only watch as Ling Qingmu uses his charms to bankrupt and destroy every fiend and demon in her way.
Later, she discovers that the seemingly carefree young lord has been hiding his true abilities: he is a peerless martial artist who commands an elite army of a million!
Ling Qingmu tries to make her escape. "Young Lord Xiao, here's a thousand taels of gold. Consider it thanks for letting me borrow your power."
Young Lord Xiao pulls her close. "You borrowed my body. You'll have to repay me with yours!"
Ling Qingmu: "Xiao Yincheng, you said we'd stay out of each other's business!"
Young Lord Xiao: "We've both been inside each other's bodies. I'd say we've already interfered."
Ling Qingmu sweats. "It was only our souls. Besides, I'm trouble too."
Young Lord Xiao: "Ha. If you're the trouble, then I'm willing to get into it."
On their wedding night.
Xiao Yincheng: "Thank heaven, we can finally meddle in each other's affairs, body and soul."
Ling Qingmu: ...
