I'm Already a Consort. If We Don't Fight for Favor, Should We Fight Crickets Instead?

Transmigration + competing for resources + a heroine who loves and hates fearlessly + steadily climbing the ranks.

After transmigrating into the imperial harem, Lou Qingyue finds herself in the middle of a vicious struggle.

The empress is kind-faced but cruel-hearted, using all sorts of underhanded, hypocritical tactics.

Meanwhile, the favored consort throws her weight around and runs rampant through the harem.

Beautiful, calculating consorts compete for a place in the emperor's bed, while a scheming noble lady trips and falls into his arms at every turn.

There are endless competitions, with every concubine showing off her talents.

Lou Qingyue has no talents at all. All she can do is lie in bed and tell the emperor how amazing he is.

She'd like to give up and take it easy, but if she doesn't compete, she'll be stuck in the Cold Palace eating carcinogenic leftovers.

With nothing better to do, she enters the harem's power games and accidentally claims the top spot on the annual list of the emperor's favorite consorts.

All that fame and fortune is simply the reward for doing her job well.

Only after becoming the domineering favorite consort that newcomers gossip about does she realize the competition goes in circles. The people involved are the only thing that changes.

Then she'll break the cycle. She'll be the one who takes control of her own fate.
