Shen Yuan died suddenly from overwork. When she opened her eyes, she had entered a story of household intrigue and political schemes, becoming the evil first wife with the same name as herself: the first legitimate wife of Xiao Huaijun, Prince of Beiyuan.
In the original story, this wife was consumed by jealousy, abused the concubines, and poisoned the illegitimate sons. In the end, the prince divorced her with a single letter, cast her out, and she died in a mass grave.
Worse, she had also bound herself to a [Calamity System].
System requirements: Keep causing trouble and accumulate "Calamity Points," or the countdown on her life will hit zero and her soul will be annihilated.
Shen Yuan: Fine, I'll cause trouble.
And so:
She slapped the capital's top beauty in public (Calamity Points +5)
She used the prince's ancestral heirloom as a chamber pot (Calamity Points +10)
She pointed at the koi bestowed by the emperor and said, "Just looking at it makes me crave sweet-and-sour fish" (Calamity Points +20)
She rampaged through the city, bullied people, grabbed whatever she wanted, and said whatever came to mind...
But for some reason, the woman she'd slapped became her biggest fan, the treasure she'd stolen ended up saving the entire prince's household, and the koi she'd cursed really was cooked into sweet-and-sour fish, and tasted pretty good.
Most absurd of all, the supposedly cold-blooded, ruthless villain prince, destined to turn evil and rebel, looked at her more strangely with every passing day.
Xiao Huaijun (gritting his teeth): "My princess consort tests my limits every single day."
Shen Yuan (chewing on a chicken leg): "Your Highness, I have to make you cry with anger today. Will you play along?"
The people of the capital watched the spectacle through the Heavenly Mirror of the Heavenly Observatory, and the live commentary (teahouse storytellers) was packed every day:
"The Princess of Beiyuan has gone mad again!"
"Wait, how does she keep turning trouble into good deeds?"
"Is there something wrong with this couple or what???"
