Li Siman, a worker for the Heavenly Dao, has worked herself to the bone for a hundred years.
At last, she lands a job as empress in the “low-risk vacation micro-world,” the Great Yu Dynasty!
System 221 thumps its chest and promises: “Host, don’t worry! It’s a guaranteed easy retirement! Scanning and alerts, snacks for points, and an emotional-stability aura. You can laze around and still win!”
Three months into the job, she’s living the dream. But one explosive landmine after another starts going off in the imperial harem.
Reclusive Cultivator, Consort Yao: She’s been lying low in the Cold Palace for three years, only wanting to cultivate, restore her spiritual energy, rip open a space rift, and escape! Her spiritual power is practically nonexistent? Don’t worry, she might spontaneously explode one day and open a portal!
Book Transmigrator Newbie, Consort De: A month into her life as a corporate drone transmigrated into a book, she clutches the original novel and trembles every day. “Help! The Noble Consort is the big bad villain! I’m about to get killed off!” She sees everyone as an NPC out to take her life and has an “accident magnet” aura wherever she goes.
Revenge Fiend, Noble Consort: She’s been reborn for less than 24 hours! Her blood feud has her seeing red, especially when she looks at Consort Shu. Her murderous intent is practically solid enough to turn into blades! Her mind is filled with only two words: “Revenge! Destruction!”
Forced to Do Her Job, Yours Truly: Outwardly dignified and virtuous, inwardly screaming, “221! You call this low-risk?!” My long-dreamed-of sixty-year paid vacation is about to be blown to kingdom come by this whole pack of troublemakers!
What else can I do? Bring out my hundred-year-old work ethic!
Manage the chaos! Keep everyone happy! Put out the fires! Easy! I, Li Siman, Heavenly Dao-certified master of balance, am using my top-notch crowd control skills and hair that’s been plucked nearly bald
To painstakingly protect my teetering PAID! VACATION! in this bizarre imperial harem where everyone is armed!
