[Transmigration + satisfying household intrigue + lighthearted comedy]
Lin Wan, a modern-day overworked employee, dropped dead from working overtime. When she opened her eyes, she had become the primary wife of the Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, during the Kangxi era!
Faced with the stone-faced “boss” Fourth Prince, a household full of endless rules, and the “workplace storm” of the succession struggle among the nine princes, all she wanted was to keep her head down and stay alive. Make no trouble, take no sides, and she'd win as long as she made it to retirement!
But luck just wouldn't leave her alone. She used modern bookkeeping to sort out the prince's household accounts and earned a cold-faced compliment from Fourth Prince: “Clever.” She joked that the Eighth Prince was like a “pyramid scheme boss” and accidentally predicted the political situation. Even her side hustle making milk tea became a limited-edition hit at the prince's residence!
Forced to use her overworked-employee smarts to handle household intrigue, she made the troublesome consorts “follow the proper procedure” and offered the Fourth Prince “slacking off” tips for his succession KPI. Before she knew it, she had become the person he trusted most.
Then, after the Fourth Prince ascended the throne, he placed the empress's seal in her hands. “This position should have been yours all along.”
Lin Wan was stunned. She'd planned to lie flat and coast through life, so how had she casually ended up with the empress's seat?!
