After dying of overwork, Shang Zhen transmigrated.
Good news: She became a cult leader, with two protectors thrown in from the start, one innocent and naive, the other sharp-tongued and arrogant.
Bad news: She had barely started making her mark when she died. And she was killed by the left protector, the one who seemed so innocent and naive!
Shang Zhen: Seriously? You've got to be kidding me. I just logged in!
When she opened her eyes again, Shang Zhen, determined to stay alive, decisively chose to follow the sharp-tongued protector. Just when she thought she'd escaped one disaster, she restarted all over again the very next second.
This time, she was eaten alive by the imperial relatives.
Shang Zhen: Seriously? Are you messing with me?
After being stabbed, drowned, and finally shot full of arrows, Shang Zhen had experienced every kind of death. "Hahaha, I'm done with this! I'll take you all down with me!"
?
At a banquet after being reborn several times, Shang Zhen watched the Imperial Guards approaching her and gave a cold laugh, armed with enough gossip to bring down the whole court.
[Old Emperor! Listen up! Your beautiful Noble Consort Wan is having an affair with your Imperial Preceptor! They were tangled up in bed just last night!]
Noble Consort Wan paled. [Your Majesty, no, this concubine didn't!]
[Your younger brother is actually your younger sister, disguised as a man and plotting to steal your throne!]
The "prince" she pointed at was sweating profusely. [Imperial Brother, you mustn't listen to this woman's lies!]
[Your precious Crown Prince is gay! Oh, wait, he's not even your son! Hahahahahaha!]
The stunned Crown Prince stammered helplessly. [Father, I...]
Shang Zhen piled on.
[Oh, right. Your Imperial Preceptor is in the ailing Empress's chambers right now...]
The Emperor said nothing. He simply turned dark-faced, grabbed his saber, and left the banquet.
The imperial relatives trembled with fear, and the banquet descended into chaos.
Looking at her handiwork, Shang Zhen nodded with satisfaction, picked up some grapes, and sat down to eat.
Wonderful. Let's all go down together.
