Transmigrated into the Eastern Palace as a nobody, she decides to lie flat and be a lazy good-for-nothing.
Who knew the aloof Crown Prince would be exactly her type!
Modern office worker Jiang Miao dies suddenly after pulling an all-nighter and transmigrates into the lowest-ranking palace consort in the Eastern Palace, Jiang Xiaoyu. The original owner was timid and easy to bully, and had just been tricked by a consort into falling into the water and dying. Faced with a ruthless harem, Jiang Xiaoyu slaps her thigh: Compete for favor? No way! Being a lazy good-for-nothing is the way to survive!
She plays dumb and coasts through life, but her modern cooking skills unexpectedly catch the attention of Crown Prince Zhao Jinzhan. The cold-faced heir is drawn to her easygoing, unpretentious attitude. He comes by for meals every day and even lets her blurt out astonishing things while he discusses politics in his study.
“Your Highness, the Xiongnu love tea. Give them tea leaves, and we'll have them over a barrel!”
“Consort Jiang, are you really stupid, or are you pretending?”
When Jiang Xiaoyu discovers that the original owner was involved in the death of the Crown Prince's birth mother, she is forced to get off her lazy perch.
She takes a poisoned arrow for the Crown Prince and investigates the real culprit, only to be framed for treason because of her low status.
On the night she is placed under house arrest, the Crown Prince climbs in through the window. “Run away with me.”
Jiang Xiaoyu: “??? Did you get the wrong script?”
[Bonus scene]
One day at a palace banquet, Jiang Xiaoyu secretly pours cola into the Crown Prince's tea.
Zhao Jinzhan drinks it without batting an eye, then corners her against a wall that night.
“My beloved consort, pour me another pot of that fizzy ‘poison.’”
