On her first day as a palace-sweeping maid in the Imperial Household Service, Bai Ruoyun swung her broom in the Noble Consort’s face. “There’s enough arsenic in that box to poison three Imperial Physicians.”
Everyone expected the little maid to be beaten to death, but instead the chief eunuch rushed over with the imperial seal in his hands.
Prince Liang grabbed her by the back of the neck. “So you’ve been hiding your true colors, my dear?”
A modern slacker transmigrates into the deadly harem of the Qing palace, relying on modern thinking to outmaneuver everyone in the cutthroat palace intrigues:
The Noble Consort’s poisoning attempt becomes evidence against her, the cold palace grows acres of fertile farmland, and the emperor’s suspicions melt into tender affection.
When a couch potato is forced to work hard, every golden brick in the Forbidden City is engraved with a twist on the usual tropes. Watch a sharp-tongued palace maid train the emperor into a devoted puppy and use a straightforward romance to break the shackles of the imperial harem!
