After I Took the Throne, Every Concubine Suspected I Was Cheating

A word of warning: this is not a story about a mutually faithful couple, and it isn't traditional palace intrigue. The heroine has a golden finger.

Ji Weiyu returned to her ancestral home to pay respects to her ancestors. In the middle of the night, an unknown force led her to the ancestral hall, where a spirit tablet struck her and her soul left her body. She entered a space where an old man with a white beard trapped her, claiming she was a rare, once-in-a-century pharmacist. She studied alchemy there for ten years. At long last, she qualified to leave, but the place she emerged in was all wrong. The antique room felt utterly unfamiliar.

After absorbing the original owner's memories, she learned that her soul had transmigrated into the body of a low-ranking palace woman named Baolin, making her a nobody in the imperial palace. With no other choice, she turned to palace intrigue to rise in rank and stay alive.

Unexpectedly, her natural talent let her climb steadily through the palace ranks, all the way to the highest position.
