She transmigrates by accident into a palace intrigue game. To get out, Su Mi has no choice but to accept a mission to win over the tyrant Zhan Linyuan, trapping her in a time loop.
At last, after five failed attempts, she starts over yet again and completely gives up trying.
Beneath the wall of the Cold Palace, Su Mi waves a broken fan. "So what if it's the Cold Palace? It looks pretty nice to me. Besides, even the worst of it is better than that dog emperor!"
She waters a flower in the palace, and it rewards her by blooming brilliantly. That dog emperor, on the other hand, has a heart of stone, and no amount of warmth can soften it.
She packs her things and is just about to enter the Cold Palace.
Then the cold, distant tyrant from her previous loops actually comes looking for her of his own accord.
"Oh! You don't want to attend me in bed? You're certainly different from the others. I want you in my bed tonight."
"Oh! You even dare offend the Noble Consort? I won't let you enter the Cold Palace. I'll dote on you instead!"
"Oh! You even dare challenge the Empress? You're truly extraordinary. I like you even more."
And just like that, Su Mi goes from a young palace maid on the verge of being sent to the Cold Palace to becoming mistress of the imperial harem.
Su Mi: "..."
So winning him over can really be this easy? Dog emperor, are you a masochist?
"Who did you call a masochist, hm?"
A familiar, suggestive voice rings out, and a tall, slender figure is reflected in Su Mi's eyes.
The emperor takes her hand and traces a character in her palm with his fingertip.
Su Mi: !!!
"So you! You're..."
"Shh! My beloved consort, keep it secret."
It's pretty, but the ending is a bit lacking and could use a little more expansion.
