Condemned to Be Beaten to Death from the Start? A Scheming System Saves My Hide!

Ye Xiaoxiao transmigrates into Empresses in the Palace as a low-ranking palace maid. From the start, she is framed for theft and pinned to the torture bench in the Department of Punishments.

“Beat this wretched girl to death!” The steward eunuch’s shrill command has barely faded when, through the stabbing pain, she suddenly hears: “Ding! Scheming Woman System bound!”

The System issues its first task: “Beg the passing Attendant An for help.”

When she cries out for her life with her last ounce of strength, An Lingrong’s sedan really does stop.

“I find this little maid rather pleasing.” An Lingrong gently lifts Ye Xiaoxiao’s chin with her nail guard.

That night, Ye Xiaoxiao smiles at the reward displayed on the System panel: “Beginner Mind-Reading.” In this palace where people devour one another, it is time for a new mistress to take charge.
