Lu Mingyue was a twenty-first-century couch potato who could not possibly be lazier. Every day, all she did was settle in as an office drone. But after her unscrupulous cousin egged her on, she somehow got the idea to take the civil service exam. This couch potato wanted to turn her life around, and after relentless effort, she finally passed. Just as she received the news, she got so excited that she choked to death on a mouthful of salty soda. Perhaps her death was too absurd, because she transmigrated to ancient times. During her days in the past, she somehow ended up rising through the ranks and becoming the Empress Dowager. Truly, it was a matter of timing and fate!
