Mu Shuang, a military doctor, transmigrates into the body of an ugly, unwanted princess consort. On their wedding night, her new husband, the prince, and his cousin put on a show of conniving together to frame her.
Why keep a scumbag like that around? He’ll only slow her down when she draws her sword!
She turns the tables and gives him a sterilization injection, then dishes out face-slapping justice with gleeful satisfaction!
When a scheming green-tea woman jumps into the river to frame her, Mu Shuang shoves her right back under the water and then sobs, “That’s right, I did it. This concubine awaits Your Highness’s judgment!”
Prince Jin is about to order her dragged away when he hears her thoughts: Divorce me, please.
Instead, Prince Jin orders the schemer to go reflect on her actions.
When a treacherous servant lies and cheats, helping the guilty go free, Mu Shuang scatters poisonous powder and says, “Your Highness, it’s true. I was jealous, so I had the servants beaten to death. I’m guilty.”
Prince Jin is about to slap her when he hears her thoughts: I really am guilty. If I’m not a complete monster, why am I still the consort of this blind prince?
So he orders a full investigation.
At last, she hears that the prince is going to the palace to ask the emperor to make his true love his consort. She rushes over. “Your Majesty, I’m willing to give up my position as princess consort, just to fulfill His Highness’s wish. Seeing him happy is all I need!”
Inside, she’s ready to set off fireworks. Heaven has finally heard her prayers! She’s going to be free!
Prince Jin had actually gone to ask for her promotion. Furious, he grits his teeth, then scoops her up in his arms. “Imperial Brother, I have pressing business to attend to. We’ll continue this matter another time!”
Why did it end like this? So tragic 🥺
