“Don't go bouncing around the palace in my body!!!”
After being struck by lightning while transmigrating as the empress, she switches souls with the emperor! Xiao Jingyuan has spent years cultivating the image of a distant, wise ruler, but Lin Xiaoxiao turns him into a goofy, ridiculous guy all by herself! Lin Xiaoxiao finds morning court exhausting, so she simply changes it to evening court. The officials whisper among themselves that the emperor is “afraid of the empress,” with no idea that it's all a mix-up caused by their souls being switched. But she knows nothing about governing and misjudges the allocation of military provisions at the border, nearly bringing about the empire's destruction. At the critical moment, Xiao Jingyuan secretly makes plans while posing as the empress, helping her turn the tide.
But Xiao Jingyuan never even appointed an empress. Even if their souls had switched, she shouldn't be someone who doesn't exist. Everything in the palace is unchanged. The only thing out of place is his soul, trapped in a body that shouldn't exist.
