Su Zhao transmigrates into a matriarchal world and wants nothing more than to laze around and live off everyone else. Unfortunately, during the imperial examinations, she outwardly praises the empress while inwardly roasting her painfully hideous makeup.
To her surprise, the empress on the throne suddenly turns around. “My dear, what did you just say about My makeup?”
Su Zhao’s legs go weak. She thinks she’s done for.
Instead, the empress slaps the table in delight. “Well said! I think this makeup is ugly too!”
From then on, Su Zhao becomes the empress’s “inner-voice adviser” and is forced to get involved in court intrigue.
Even worse, the Imperial Preceptor, the Grand Tutor, and even the prince of an enemy kingdom can hear her thoughts. Su Zhao wails inwardly: [How am I supposed to slack off now?!]
Then one day, a crack opens in the sky, and a cold, mechanical voice announces:
“Welcome to the Main God’s Game. First instance: The Matriarchal Dynasty.”
The other players rub their hands together. “Let’s win over the empress and overthrow the dynasty!”
Su Zhao looks at the max-level powerhouses behind her, all eavesdropping on her thoughts, and falls into contemplation:
“Um... which of you would like to try being the instance’s boss?”
