Shen Wanxi, a stand-up comedian, died after taking a pratfall during a bit onstage. The audience even praised her for making it look so real.
Shen Wanxi: Thanks, I guess. I've transmigrated, I'm not dead, just a little mad about it.
In one moment, she transmigrated into a scheming household drama as a cannon-fodder concubine-born daughter. Her own father promptly gave her away as a concubine to the powerful regent.
Shen Wanxi: Old Man Shen, you've got some nerve giving me away. I've got some nerve marrying him.
Rumor had it the regent was crude and ugly, bloodthirsty and brutal, with a household full of beauties and no shortage of women.
Shen Wanxi decided to take it easy: Perfect. We'll each do our own thing and stay out of each other's way.
But on their wedding night, she faked an illness to avoid the bridal chamber, only to end up bound to a storytelling-and-spoiler System.
Modern stand-up comedy blew ancient teahouses out of the water. The wilder her jokes got, the wilder the capital became.
"The Emperor's Lost Son" → A lost prince reunites with his family
"The Rise of the Richest Man" → A corrupt merchant is ruined overnight
"The Chief Minister's Beloved Wife Ran Away Again" → The chief minister chases his wife through the city, begging on his knees
She made a fortune and became the capital's number-one female prophet. Even the young emperor crouched in a corner like her biggest fan, shouting:
"The great lady is my god! Whoever dares touch her, I'll wipe out their entire clan!!"
Shen Wanxi: I'm just an ordinary person telling jokes. Don't drag me into this.
Until one day, a handsome man in black cornered her in an alley. In desperation, she boasted:
"I'm the regent's one and only darling. He's absolutely crazy about me!"
The man before her took off his mask, revealing a face of breathtaking beauty, and chuckled:
"Oh? How come I didn't know that?"
Shen Wanxi: ...I want the ground to swallow me up. I wish I could die all over again.
Later, everyone knew that the cold-faced, bloodthirsty regent who kept his distance from women
had spoiled that woman who was full of jokes and couldn't stop giving away spoilers, making her the one person everyone in the world envied.
Chu Yuan: I've spent half my life amid Buddhist towers and ruled over miles of rivers and mountains, yet none of it compares to one joke from you.
Shen Wanxi: ...All right, then. The villa won't be by the sea. It'll be by your side.
