They say that laughing makes you ten years younger, but who could laugh when something like this happens? This calls to mind a line from Xiao Shenyang: “The saddest thing in the world is dying before you've spent all your money. The absolute worst is still being alive after all your money is gone.”
Clearly, the female lead got the first one. She always believed in having fun, but now she'd transmigrated? Damn it, I still have a six-figure balance in my bank account! I even own a place in the capital worth seven figures! You rotten heavens, the least you could have done was let me have a child to inherit it all! Are my money and house going to be confiscated now? But that's not the point. The point is:
What the hell? You didn't even say a word before sending me into another world, and where have I landed? A royal consort, if you put it nicely. A concubine, if you don't, and one the emperor doesn't even like! Look at this four-legged table covered in cobwebs, with only three legs left. And that chair that looked halfway decent? One step from my dainty foot and it met a glorious end.
Fine! If that dead emperor won't let me live in peace, then I won't let him live in peace either. I'll turn his harem upside down, then pull a cicada-sheds-its-shell trick, leave a double behind to fake my death, and slip out of the palace. There are plenty of handsome men out there, so why pine for one flower, especially one that's been used to death? The young hunks outside the palace, here I come!
(Watch a modern beauty and exorcist master throw her weight around in ancient times and flirt with handsome men. This is a one-on-one romance with the right values. The heroine is just a bit too much of a handful, so the hero has to be someone who can handle her!)
I have to finish the article I wrote even if no one is reading it and I cry.
