The Empress's One Goal in the Harem: Stay Safe

[A Little Palace Intrigue + Male Lead in Control of Everything + Genuine Sisterly Bonds in the Harem + Transmigration + Lie Flat]

Gu Xishi is the legitimate daughter of a general's household. From the moment she enters the palace, she holds the highest position in her own palace. She knows that in this treacherous court, as long as she doesn't bring trouble upon herself, she won't easily end up in danger. So she always takes the attitude of a spectator, while carefully navigating the harem and steadily rising through the ranks.

One day, Gu Xishi happens to overhear two consorts talking. "Huh? What are they talking about? Something about the chicken changing but the lotus root staying the same, and the symbols looking like a line. Is that some new code? Not bad, not bad." She furrows her delicate brows slightly, curiosity and confusion showing in her eyes.

The synopsis doesn't do it justice, so read the story itself. If you can't get into it at first, keep reading. It gets exciting, guaranteed. Hahahaha.
