The princess was furious with the other woman. "I.." She paused for a second to swallow, "I never thought that it would come down to this. I promise though that they wouldn't do anything terrible." "They said the same thing to my father.. but they were wrong. I don't trust anyone's word." The princess replied standing up. The more her anger rose, the darker her eyes got. "You should just be fortunate that I am not my father. Do you know what he did when faced with a similar situation?" with no reply, she continued "He killed almost all of them. You could say it was a massacre. Me, I won't got that far, but if anything happens to him, I will personally kill the person who touches him."

Pampered by Short-Lived Bigshot

When they first met, Tang Wan sighed, “The fifth young master of the Jiang family is just as the rumors said. He’s celibate, aloof, prideful, and is a man to be revered. Unfortunately, he’s so smart that he no longer has any will to live, which made him sickly, and he’s going to die soon… Later on, the fifth young master brought her into his room. When she came out, everyone stared at her in shock. Why was she crying? …… Later on, it was said that the fifth young master returned after he recovered from his illness, and he brought a girl back. She appeared pure and harmless, but underneath that harmless appearance, she was actually a spitfire that offended quite a number of people. But the fifth young master just said, “I brought her back, so I’ll let her do whatever she wants. If… anything happens, I’ll take responsibility.” His best friend gave him a reminder. “You’re going to be responsible for someone from the Tang family?” “Since she came back with me, she’s mine. She’s just a young girl and is spoilt. I have to take responsibility.” After Tang Wan married into the Jiang family, she only had one mission. She must give birth to his children before he died! Meanwhile, the fifth young master was puzzled. “You’re a gentle and shy girl during the day, so why are you so different during the night?” Tang Wan thought. ‘I have to make every second count. He won’t be able to live long.’ After she gave birth to his son and he became one year old, Tang Wan was prepared to become a widow. However… ‘Why isn’t he dead yet?’ Much later, the fifth master of the Jiang family asked her, “I heard that you’ve been looking for my death every day. Do you want to kill me by sucking me dry?”

The moral is that some people's natures are unchangeable. Just like the scorpion, it stings the frog even though it means they both will die, showing that it can't resist its natural instinct to harm, despite the frog's good - willed act of carrying it across the river.

In the story, the scorpion convinces the frog by using a logical argument. It tells the frog that it has no reason to sting it while they are crossing the river. After all, if it does, they will both perish. So, the frog, believing in this logic, decides to carry the scorpion. But, of course, the scorpion's nature takes over in the end.

Is there really someone who can't be the queen?

Transmigration was the pinnacle. His father was the prime minister of the current dynasty, and his mother came from a family that was as rich as a country. On the day he transmigrated, he became the empress. Although he read novels about palace affairs, he was still on tenterhooks when he really faced them. What kind of harem could this personality of hers create? "Don't think that you can laugh for long. I'll definitely win in the end!" "But when I was the Crown Princess, you were only a Secondary Consort. You had already lost from the start." Su Luoyao's casual words made her so angry that she vomited blood. "The Empress is weak and incompetent. Her virtue is not obvious. She is difficult to take on a great responsibility!" "Then please allow me to reorganize the court and let everyone see if I am worthy or not." After that, it was said that the Empress had tidied up the rear court in an orderly manner and established many new systems. Everyone in the rear court was convinced. At this moment, he was still wondering if he could use this woman who had suddenly changed into a knife in his hand. He did not expect that he would become a jar of old vinegar in the future.
