My KPIs in the Yongzheng Court of the Qing Dynasty

At five years old, Han Han transmigrates into the second daughter of the Minister's household, in hell mode from the start: her stepmother is cruel, and her own father ignores her. She acts clueless on the surface, but secretly improves the looms and opens a small kitchen, turning the cold courtyard into a comfortable haven. On the day of the imperial selection, she's so hungry her stomach is practically touching her back. Caught sneaking snacks in the imperial garden by the Yongzheng Emperor, she blurts out: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty! I was... testing the food for poison in advance!" Her cheeks bulge like a hamster's. The Yongzheng Emperor looks at the crumbs and sneers. "Testing for poison? I think you're testing my patience." But she pulls out a report titled "On the Feasibility of Finding New Employment for Bannermen and Increasing State Revenue." "Your Majesty, want to make money? I'll show you how to soar!" From then on, life in the Forbidden City takes a strange turn: the stone-faced emperor chases his consorts around asking about their KPIs, and the imperial study fills with the aroma of milk tea. When the Empress Dowager accuses her of throwing the palace into chaos, the Yongzheng Emperor produces the overflowing state treasury ledger. "You call this chaos? It's an auspicious sign!"
