Su Mingyan, the most “unambitious” imperial consort in history.
Her life motto: If you can lie down, don't sit; if you can sit, don't stand. Sleep is the top priority!
The emperor? Oh, he's the boss who pays her monthly stipend.
The empress? She's like an older sister who worries about her sleeping in.
Courtly intrigue? Too much effort. She'd rather catch up on sleep!
And yet, she's blessed with unbelievable luck and is the emperor's favorite consort.
Court audiences on the first and fifteenth of the month? She dozes off right on schedule.
Schemes and conspiracies? She blunders her way into winning every time.
Even her children come with the built-in perks of being easy to care for (and lazy).
While the ambitious consorts rack their brains trying to win favor, Noble Consort Su is pondering:
What tea should I pair with today's snacks to sleep even better?
The entire harem is questioning its existence:
How does this couch potato get away with it?! Because she can't be bothered to win!
It gives people a feeling of being very tired from reading.
That palace maid is so bad. I don't care about the snuff bottle. At least, she won't lose such an adult.
