Transmigrating as the Empress Dowager's Confidante

I transmigrated to the Great Qing Dynasty and somehow became Empress Dowager Cixi's trusted confidant. My ancestors appeared in a dream and told me I had to save the Great Qing from collapse. Otherwise, I would never be able to return to modern times! Looking at the crumbling Great Qing and the corrupt empress dowager living in carefree luxury, should I keep indulging in a life of wine and revelry, or save the nation and its people from disaster so I can return to my normal world?
