Ning Lan chose to betray his master, Prince Ye, because of the grand promises made by Prince Chen. But after taking Prince Ye down, Ning Lan met a miserable end.
Perhaps as punishment from heaven, after being reborn, he had become a woman!
And to make matters worse, the master she betrayed seemed to have been reborn too! Ning Lan steeled herself and chose to run away.
But before she could make her escape, a certain prince caught her and dragged her back. Then he discovered her secret: she was a woman.
As one agonizing day after another passed, Ning Lan thought she had finally earned redemption and could be free. But then she realized that the prince's gaze seemed a little strange.
"Wait, Your Highness, I used to be a man!"
The prince replied indifferently:
"That doesn't change the fact that you're a woman now."
