[Hilarious Qing Dynasty transmigration and absurdist comeback] After pulling an all-nighter and dying suddenly, programmer Lin Wanqing opens her eyes to find herself transmigrated into the body of a timid young woman at the Qing court’s selection ceremony!
Before she can figure out which way is up, an electronic voice explodes in her head: [Ding! Your “Fight for Favor and Court Disaster System” is now bound! Ultimate goal: take down Cixi and monopolize the emperor’s bed!]
Lin Wanqing: ???
I’m a perfectly ordinary man in the body of a young palace candidate, and I’m supposed to flirt with Xianfeng? Compete with the palace-intrigue champion Cixi for a man? Is this busted System infected with a virus or something?!
But the System keeps coming up with outrageous stunts
[Failed a mission? Punishment: make the Host dance to “New Treasure Island” in the imperial garden!]
[The emperor walks by? Automatically trigger the embarrassing “trip on flat ground and grab his waist” scene!]
She’d planned to lie flat and coast, but was forced to race down the road to courting disaster:
She serves Cixi instant noodles with pickled cabbage, calling it “innovation in imperial cuisine.”
She tells Xianfeng terrible jokes, describing it as “relieving His Majesty’s worries.”
While the other consorts use musk and saffron in their palace schemes, she whips out the System’s “glowing disco ball” instead…
Xianfeng rubs his forehead. “Could this woman be delusional?”
Cixi sneers. “As long as she remains, the harem will never know peace!”
Lin Wanqing bursts into tears. “Help! I really just want to eat my fill and wait to die!”
Watch as this steel-hearted straight man turns the harem upside down with his bizarre way of thinking, then claws his way to victory in one hilarious battle after another!
