Mu Jinsui was originally a spiritual koi, formed from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. She descended to the mortal realm to stabilize her divine soul, but through a twist of fate, was reborn as the Fourth Princess of Beixiang, notorious for being a fool.
[Was there more to her mother's banishment to the Cold Palace?]

Mu Jinsui clings tight to her emperor father, lying flat in the palace and enjoying the gossip while basking in his dazzling golden merit. At court, the ministers hear her thoughts and are alternately left speechless and enlightened, until she turns them into a full-fledged gossip squad. While others fight tooth and nail in the imperial harem, Mu Jinsui takes it easy in the palace, recommending worthy people and drawing talented officials into the court.
Years later, Mu Jinsui ascends to heaven peacefully and returns to the Celestial Court. The moment she steps through its gates, a betrothal gift from the Qilin Crown Prince hits her. When she sees his face, Mu Jinsui is shocked.
[Why do you look so much like my husband from my time in the mortal realm?]
The Qilin Crown Prince, Shen Ce, looks aggrieved.
[My lady, why didn't you call me along when you ascended back to the Celestial Court?]
