Empresses in the Palace: The Little Palace Maid's Guide to Turning the Tables

College student Su Le accidentally travels into the world of Empresses in the Palace and becomes a lowly maid in Shoukang Palace. Seeing the original characters come alive before her eyes, Su Le vows that this time, nobody will be following the script!

With her left hand, she grabs Meizhuang just as she is about to step into the Thousand Carp Pond. With her right, she snatches An Lingrong’s Scar-Soothing Balm, then slips the score for the Dance of the Swan Goose to Chun’er.

She accepts every tonic Wen the Imperial Physician prescribes and knows Fangruo’s advice by heart. She thought she would be punished, but step by step, she becomes the Emperor’s trusted palace maid.

Soon, the consorts discover that there’s always a little maid exploiting a bug in the strangest places:

“Your Highness Consort Hua, there really is musk in your Joyous Fragrance!”

“Your Majesty, once you become Empress Dowager, you won’t have to fear the Emperor anymore.”

“Your Majesty, the consorts truly love you...”

As the characters’ changed fates turn into merit points, Su Le happily looks forward to leaving the palace at twenty-five and living it up as a rich woman. But then an imperial decree drops, and she sees the words: “Hereby invest Su Le as Lady of Huining County.”

The Empress Dowager, the Emperor, and the Empress sit together, cheerfully watching her as they wait for her to give thanks.

★ Note: Some plot points have been changed. I have the final say on the explanations. The butterfly effect alters the original plot. A guide to palace cuisine. Taking the entire protagonist’s family to ascend. The heroine has a golden finger and plays the pig to eat the tiger.
