After settling down for a nice nap, medical student Shen Ruo transmigrates to the fictional kingdom of Xue. As if transmigrating wasn’t bad enough, she finds herself surrounded by a bunch of filthy beggars, and promptly falls apart.
Frustrated, she has no choice but to fight to survive. Somehow, she wins the contest to become the “Top Courtesan,” then accidentally ends up in the imperial palace. Shen Ruo just wants to lie flat, with enough to eat and warm clothes to wear. Who could have guessed that the way these palace nobles look at her would grow stranger by the day...
The Crown Prince deliberately seeks her out, while the Emperor gives her a peculiar look. Shen Ruo’s life in the palace gets more and more interesting.
The Crown Princess is so furious behind her back that she nearly grinds her teeth to dust.
[You little hussy, have you got a death wish? How dare you fight me for my position as Crown Princess!]
Even the notoriously cold Second Prince has come to her rescue several times.
[You’re all alone in the palace. Make sure you protect yourself. Without you, even if I claim the throne, it would mean nothing.]
Shen Ruo: You probably won’t believe me, but I just want to live peacefully in the palace. I don’t have time to get involved in your power struggles. But if this incredible fortune falls into my lap, you can bet I’ll grab hold of it!
