Thanks for Asking: I’m in the Eastern Palace, Playing a Feng Shui Mystic to Keep the House in Order

Her stepmother’s daughter is forced to marry the Crown Prince, who supposedly brings death to his wives?

Mei Liying, the illegitimate daughter born from the coffin of the Minister of Revenue’s first wife and a young Daoist nun, is finally remembered by her father and brought home.

Mei Liying looks up at the baleful aura gathering over the Eastern Palace, intrigued.

It’s great having a husband blessed with so much merit. She can borrow some for herself, and even catch a few ghosts along the way.

The Crown Prince is cursed in matters of marriage. Every wife he takes dies. He assumes Mei Liying won’t survive the next day, but three months pass, and she’s still lively as ever.

The Crown Prince is at a loss. It’s good that his sweet little wife is still alive, but she’s so out of it that she doesn’t even realize when people bully her.

Then one night, he gets up and sees his sweet wife dressed in white, slaying her way through a horde, one little demon with every swing of her sword.

Only later does he learn that the Crown Princess was born from a coffin. At five, she scattered her mother’s ashes. At six, she smashed the ancestral tablets. At seven, she cracked her master’s skull. At eight, she took on a gang of vicious beggars by herself…

Mei San: Your Highness, I’m afraid of ghosts!

Crown Prince: Sanniang, I’m afraid of you!
