[A few warnings: The early settings are the Yan and Wang residences, with occasional scenes of modern-day development. The protagonist needs to adapt to her identity and will avoid danger rather than flaunt her abilities and deliver face-slapping. The timing of events is random, and they may not match the original work or historical facts.]
Song Zhi died suddenly just after graduating, only to be shoved by a shady System into Empresses in the Palace, where she became Songzhi, a minor cannon fodder character at Consort Hua’s side! She was supposed to help Consort Hua win the palace power struggle and make her stronger.
Song Zhi: “??? Palace power struggle? Am I supposed to cut keys? How many?”
Whoever wants this lousy mission can do it. She just wants to lie flat.
The System sneered: “You want to slack off? Your hometown has already been invaded by the supernatural. Want to save your younger sister and the world? Then get to the palace power struggle!”
Song Zhi: “...Fine, I’ll grit my teeth and do it.” But she immediately found a loophole in the System’s rules. Why did she have to help Consort Hua alone? Wouldn’t it be better if the two of them helped Consort Hua lie flat and win?
But then... System, what the hell? You took us to the wrong place!
Looking at the delicate little Consort Hua in front of her, who hadn’t even come of age yet, Song Zhi’s vision went black. Could this lousy System get anything right for once?!
But now that things had come to this, she could only grit her teeth and carry on.
Besides, starting so early meant there was plenty of room to maneuver. And wasn’t it rewarding to watch the girl she raised climb step by step to the top?
Song Zhi: “I’ll trade the rest of my life for the light in your eyes. That is the pact I made with fate!”
The young lady: “You gave me wings to soar through the skies, so I’ll use my life as a shield to keep you safe!”
