Top-tier green tea schemer + ultimate overachiever = ? Su Chacha will show you through sheer skill: that’s what it means to be born an empress!
Su Chacha, who worked herself to death in the modern world, opened her eyes to find herself a miserable laundress in the Great Yin Dynasty. With cruel servants bullying her and strict palace rules hemming her in, she curled her lips. “Work! I’ll work myself to the bone!”
> Scrubbing chamber pots? She becomes an “efficiency champion,” freeing up time to secretly study The Emperor’s Likes and Dislikes.
> Being picked on? With tears in her eyes, she says, “Please calm down, Sister,” then turns around and sends her enemy straight into a rival’s trap.
> Competing for the emperor’s favor is a KPI? She delivers professional-grade service: when Xiao Ce furrows his brow, she adjusts the incense angle three times! One “accidental” rescue makes the cold-faced emperor remember those “flustered, yet damnably attentive” hands.
From “Chacha,” trampled by everyone, to Consort Su, one of the Four Noble Consorts, Su Chacha is now just one step away from the empress’s throne. At last, the once-innocent “little tea blossom” bares her fangs. With a wave of her hand, the Noble Consort falls and the court is thrown into turmoil. In the Golden Throne Hall, the ministers attack her for her lowly origins.
Emperor Xiao Ce’s gaze turns inscrutable as he lifts her chin with a fingertip. “Chacha, tell me, what do you want?”
Su Chacha’s eyes brim with tears as she sinks to her knees and trembles out, “This concubine... only wants a home.” Her inner voice says: “Empress KPI, exceeded! Next round, I’ll outwork you, you suspicious dog of an emperor!”
