[One-on-one romance, both devoted only to each other + light palace intrigue + easygoing comedy] [Funny girl who's not what she seems vs. scheming, sharp-tongued, secretly passionate emperor]
Xu Xianyan is an ordinary worker who loves to run late. After an unexpected car accident, she transmigrates! A stingy System binds itself to her and assigns her a task: become the empress!
Damn this world! Even transmigrating can't free her from the fate of being an overworked employee.
Determined to return home and care for her parents, and to serve as her beloved cat's litter-box cleaner, she resolutely heads to the imperial palace to start climbing the career ladder!
Who would've thought the sharp-tongued emperor would look exactly like her heartless boss, and spend every day enjoying the chance to bully and mock her?
To complete her task, Xu Xianyan has no choice but to pretend to indulge the emperor and satisfy his twisted sense of fun.
But just when she's one step away from becoming empress, the emperor suddenly loses his mind for some reason. He has a pair of solid-gold anklets made and chains her in her chambers, where he “torments” her day after day.
Ye Chen steadies her by the waist and pins her in the corner of the bed. “Yan Yan, aren't you happy like this? Why are you trying to run? Hmm…”
