(Misinterpretation comedy: she diligently carries out villain missions, but everything has the opposite effect)
Song You accidentally transmigrates into the scene where someone is drugging the Crown Prince.
She thinks she’s landed in a palace-intrigue survival story, and feels like the sky is falling.
Unexpectedly, once the System comes online, it orders her to weaken the Crown Prince’s faction.
Bad news: she’s become a Crown Princess with neither power nor influence.
Good news: she’s a villain!
So naturally, she can do whatever she wants!
She calls the Crown Prince vicious, guilt-trips him, spends his money, and puts his people in their place.
In the palace, she takes on the consorts, the Empress, and the princes.
Outside the palace, she takes on the princesses, noblewomen, and ministers.
She even goes out into the streets to snatch a bride.
And she plans to raise pigs in the Eastern Palace.
The System beeps frantically: Crown Prince faction strength -1, -1, -1; reward +1, +1, +1.
And after all that, the Crown Prince still falls for her?
Also, she’s been diligently doing her missions, so how did the Crown Prince still end up ascending the throne?
This makes no sense!

Cheng Shuyu, once the richest person in the former Jing Shuo Kingdom and later Minister of Revenue, loves following her daughter around and picking up scraps. Seeds she casually finds grow into rice yielding a thousand jin per mu, while the sweet potatoes she rescues from her daughter’s pigs yield a thousand jin per mu. She’s completely stunned!
The thing the Marquis of Weiyuan regrets most in this life is not finishing off the young Crown Prince after his rebellious daughter saved him. Now he’s either being forced to rescue someone or on his way to being forced to rescue someone!
