Ren Dachuan and Lin Jinghui, the newlyweds, had previously managed to meet through a servant's letter. They had secretly tried to seduce each other two or three times in the carriage, but were not very satisfied.

Having finally waited for their wedding day, they were so excited about the blissful moments to come that they could rightfully and fully enjoy their wedding night that they temporarily put aside their previous unpleasantness.

The bride's headache improved considerably after drinking the decoction of traditional Chinese medicine.

"My lady, the spring night is too short, and the time is too beautiful. Let's go to bed and rest." The groom stepped forward, took the bride's hand, and said affectionately, "I have been waiting for this day for what feels like a lifetime."

"My love, I have been longing for this day day and night." The bride nestled in the groom's arms and confessed affectionately, "I dream of you and me making love."

"Okay, okay, let's go at it for a dozen rounds today, until dawn!" the groom said excitedly.

As he spoke, he peeled the bride down to her undergarments like a bamboo shoot. He then quickly stripped off his own clothes, leaving only his shorts.

Those eavesdropping outside the new house covered their mouths, afraid of laughing out loud.

The newlyweds got into bed, removed their last veil of modesty, and embraced each other tightly, whispering sweet nothings and being intimately close.

At the most crucial moment, suddenly, as if summoned by a mysterious force, a dense swarm of frogs surged in from outside like a tide. They crowded around, jumping onto the bed and instantly engulfing the newlyweds in a swarm of frogs.

"Wah wah wah wah..." The frogs croaked in unison, creating a deafening roar, as if they were holding a grand carnival.

This sudden turn of events terrified the bride, who let out a piercing scream: "Ah, help! Someone come quick!" Her voice echoed in the room, filled with fear and despair.

The groom was equally startled, and his scream followed immediately: "Quick, someone come quick!"

The room was now occupied by frogs, which were hopping around on the bed, creating a creepy scene.

Although the groom was a skilled bodyguard, he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine when faced with so many frogs.

In a panic, he scrambled naked out of bed, abandoned his bride, and scrambled out, fleeing as if someone were coming to take his life.

The bride was so terrified by the bed full of frogs that she completely lost consciousness. Her body lay stiffly on the bed, letting the frogs jump all over her body, head, and face. Finally, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted again.

Those eavesdropping outside the door, hearing the unusual noises inside, all curiously peeked inside.

This one glance turned them pale with fright, leaving them speechless.

They had never seen so many frogs swarm into the room at once, let alone jump onto the bed. The bizarre scene left them speechless, frozen in place.

Soon, a satirical poem circulated: On their wedding night, mandarin ducks frolic in the water. Frogs climb onto the bed, their croaking filling the air.

More and more people gathered to watch, all of them stunned and at a loss. Finally, the bride, who had fainted in the pile of frogs, was taken in by a few braver, rough-working women who wrapped her in a sheet and carried her out.

Someone went to fetch a doctor who administered acupuncture, which revived her, but the bride became somewhat delirious.

She would exclaim at any moment, "Frogs, frogs, so many frogs! There's a frog on my chest, and a frog on my butt..." causing chaos throughout the Ren residence and leaving everyone both amused and exasperated.

The groom, dressed in a plain white undergarment, sat in the courtyard, lost in thought. His once jet-black hair was now splattered with a layer of bright green paint, cascading over his shoulders and appearing particularly jarring. His face was etched with exhaustion and frustration, his eyes filled with a dazed fear, as if he had just woken from a nightmare.

Today should have been the happiest day of his life, but instead, he encountered a series of unexpected farces.

First, in the morning, when he went to pick up his bride with great joy, his ex-fiancée suddenly appeared and mercilessly poured a bucket of paint on him, turning him into a green monster in an instant.

Although he took a long bath after returning home, he couldn't wash away his green hair, which became the most annoying thing in his heart.

They thought this was the worst thing that could happen, but on their wedding night, something even stranger happened.

Just as he and his bride were getting into bed, ready to spend their romantic night together, suddenly countless frogs swarmed into the room like a tide, leaping onto the bed. The frogs hopped and jumped around on the bed, croaking loudly, completely ruining the originally romantic atmosphere.

The groom was filled with doubt and confusion. "What's going on? Why are there so many frogs on our new bed?" he muttered to himself, his brow furrowed.

His family and relatives were equally perplexed, and they were all talking about it:

Someone asked, "Could it be that there's something in the new house that attracts frogs?"

"I've never heard of such a thing," someone categorically denied.

Someone asked, "Has someone cast a spell on you?" His eyes glanced meaningfully in the direction of the Lin residence.

Someone whispered, "Does such a spell exist? If it does, we might as well get something even more powerful."

...

After much discussion, the crowd still couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation.

Some people looked at the disheveled newlyweds with sympathy, while others looked at them with schadenfreude.

Most of them muttered to themselves, "This couple, who disregarded propriety and shame by exchanging brides, have encountered such a bizarre event today; they've probably been punished by heaven." This was the first time in their lives they had experienced such a terrifying yet hilarious wedding night.

General Ren and his wife were furious. Today, their eldest son was getting married, but one disgraceful incident after another had occurred, causing them to lose face in front of their relatives.

Madam Ren's face flushed red with humiliation, her eyes bulging like copper bells. She roared at the servants in uncontrollable rage, "What are you useless things standing there for! Go and catch those damned frogs for me, and fry them all in oil to vent my anger!"

At the master's command, the once spacious bridal chamber was instantly filled with a group of flustered servants. They frantically tried to catch the frogs, and the bridal chamber was soon filled with shouts, footsteps, and the croaking of frogs, creating quite a lively scene.

Despite the servants' best efforts, the frogs seemed to possess some kind of magical power, vanishing without a trace in the blink of an eye, just as they had arrived.

Seeing this, the host and guests all breathed a sigh of relief, as if a huge weight had been lifted from their hearts.
