Synopsis

(Transmigration + a System for company + mostly watching from the sidelines + survival guide)

When Lianqing opened her eyes, she found she had transmigrated into the world of Empresses in the Palace and been bound to a “useless System” that was nearly out of power.

No shop, no redeemable items, and only three functions: surveillance, conversation, and entertainment.

The useless System cheered her on: “Host, keep it up! Your mission is to survive for ten years within a designated area of the world of Empresses in the Palace. Complete it and you can go home, plus you’ll receive a cash reward!”

Fine, survival it is. She’s good at that! The most laid-back survival guide to life in the Qing palace begins now!

System: “Consort Hua is about to have Xia Dongchun beaten with the One-Zhang Red!”

Lianqing: “What’s that got to do with me? I’m not even there.”

System: “Zhen Huan is performing the Stunning Swan Dance!”

Lianqing: “The palace scheming in this generation is pretty weak.”

As a transparent concubine determined to live in the Old Summer Palace for the rest of her life, Lianqing has only two rules for survival:

Stay as inconspicuous as possible, keep away from the Forbidden City, and avoid getting caught in palace schemes. Try not to antagonize any of the concubines, so no one can use her as a pawn.

The System is stunned: “Host, can you really survive to the end like this?”

Lianqing: “Relax. As long as I don’t get myself killed, nobody can kill me.”

Still, life sometimes brings unexpected rewards:

Bumping into Su Peisheng and Cui Jinxin on a date: immediately pretend to be blind.

Finding the Fourth Prince alone: quickly bundle him up and send him back.

She even discovers in a corner of the Old Summer Palace:

Yupin secretly growing vegetables: turns out Yupin has such an obscure hobby.

A physician sneaking off to slack around: Wei Lin, “Please don’t tell anyone.”

Jingfei sneaking out to take a break: “Counting bricks gets so boring.”

So… even the NPCs in parallel worlds are doing their best to keep their heads down.

Are There Really No Empresses in the Palace Fics With Intelligent Characters?

I mean, even a wish-fulfillment story shouldn’t be mindless wish fulfillment. Can palace-intrigue stories give us a smart female lead for once? (And an author who knows what they're doing.) The female lead's plot armor makes everyone except the readers stupid 😅😅😅

Looking for a Truly Well-Written Zhen Huan Fanfic

It's fine if you don't like Zhen Huan and want to compete with her in palace intrigue, but don't bash her mindlessly. If the new female lead just takes Zhen Huan's twins, her resemblance to Chun Yuan, and Sister Mei away from her, that's so boring. It feels like self-indulgent wish fulfillment rather than a proper Zhen Huan fanfic. I want something with real logic.

Please Recommend Transmigration Stories That Respect the Characterization in the Empresses in the Palace TV Series

The ones I've seen before changed the characters so much that they didn't feel like themselves at all. The female lead, Zhen Huan, especially. It was impossible to get immersed in the original story when she felt so unlike herself. After all, the original is Empresses in the Palace. If even the protagonists' personalities and characterizations have changed, how can it still have anything to do with the original?
