[Political Intrigue + Taoism + Ensemble Cast + Regretful Pursuit + Unconventional Palace Drama + Coercive Possession]
Ever since Jiang Ruxun, the Jiang family’s second daughter, went to burn incense at a ruined temple outside the city, it was as if the King of Hell had kicked her away, then dragged her back.
In the past, when people made snide, barbed remarks, she could only endure them with tears in her eyes.
Now, when they hide knives in their words and gossip that she has lost the bearing of a proper young lady, she raises an eyebrow.
“Tomorrow, I’ll take another look at your fine-lady bearing.”
The next day, several of them actually woke up cuddling snakes.
No one knows that the soul in this body has long since been replaced by one from another world. She’s slow-witted by nature and only knows a few ways to control animals.
An imperial edict arrives, granting her in marriage to the crown prince, and the old madam orders her to take someone else’s place. Jiang Ruxun knows the score: disobeying the edict means death, but marrying the crown prince would be worse than death.
So she decides to drag everyone down with her.
But fate has other plans. After marrying into the Eastern Palace, Jiang Ruxun dies.
When she returns, she is Jiang Xun, an apprentice to a Taoist priest with a bull’s nose.
By chance, Jiang Xun follows her master back to the capital. As she explores all kinds of love in the world, she also repays tenfold the humiliation and pain she suffered.
Ensemble cast: Jiang Xun, whose soul has cultivated the Dao; Jin Chenzi, sharp-tongued and scheming; Yue Liuying, a disfigured obsessive; Jiang Lanyue, an arrogant young woman; and a foxy man...
