Xie Yuqing read a web novel before bed.
The male lead was an out-and-out tyrant. After murdering the emperor and seizing the throne, he slaughtered the court and palace, broke the former dynasty's princess's legs, and imprisoned her deep in the palace.
Xie Yuqing left an impassioned comment on the novel: "Dog emperor! A wolf in sheep's clothing! Cruel and inhumane! A worthless fool!"
Then she woke up and discovered that she had become the unfortunate princess from the former dynasty.

Murong Chi had spent more than a decade plotting and scheming, and had finally ascended the throne. But in the stillness of the night, a voice suddenly reached his ears:
"Dog emperor! A wolf in sheep's clothing!"
Murong Chi: ??? Who dares to curse me?
After taking the throne, Murong Chi decided to launch a bloody purge and root out the former dynasty's officials. Just as he was about to issue the order, the voice spoke again:
"Dog emperor! Cruel and inhumane!"
Later, Murong Chi planned to embark on a vast construction project and rebuild the palace. The voice spoke by his ear once more:
"Dog emperor! A worthless fool!"
*
Murong Chi gradually came to believe that it was all a heavenly maiden warning him to be a benevolent ruler, restrain himself, and live frugally.
Until one day, a palace maid bumped into the imperial procession and hurriedly knelt to beg forgiveness. "Spare my life, Your Majesty..."
Murong Chi narrowed his eyes. He thought he had heard the heavenly maiden's voice.
*
To escape the fate of having her legs broken, Xie Yuqing came up with a foolproof escape plan and fled the palace under cover of darkness.
She had barely made it past the palace gates when the imperial guards blocked her path.
Murong Chi emerged from the darkness. The long sword in his hand glinted coldly in the moonlight as he walked slowly toward Xie Yuqing. His voice was unusually gentle. "Qingqing, if you wanted to leave the palace for a bit of fun, why didn't you tell me?"
Xie Yuqing: "Waaah, I'm sorry! Don't break my legs! QAQ"
