The Qing Dynasty: I’m Gao Xiyue, Winning Without Lifting a Finger in the Harem

After living another life, Gao Xiyue stood before the vermilion gates of Prince Bao’s mansion. Looking at the familiar red walls and glazed tiles, she could only think that her former self had been a complete fool.
For a man who didn’t love her, and for favor as fleeting as a dream, she fought Fucha, guarded against Nala, and clashed with Wei Yingluo. In the end, she was left utterly spent and brought ruin upon her family. She’d been an absolute idiot!
This time around?
Fight? Compete? Scheme?
Gao Xiyue’s response: Thanks for asking, but I’m busy.
All she wanted was to use her memories of her past life to protect the Gao family and stay away from trouble. She planned to sip tea, listen to music, and live as an idle person who ate her fill and waited for death.
But who could have guessed…
She couldn’t be bothered to compete for the Emperor’s favor, yet he started visiting her courtyard every day, saying he liked that she “never fought or competed for anything.”
She couldn’t be bothered to form factions, yet Empress Fucha took a liking to her, and Nala couldn’t be bothered to pick a fight with someone so laid-back.
Even the most difficult Empress Dowager in the palace praised her, saying, “You have a clear understanding of life and know how to live well.”
Gao Xiyue: ???
Wasn’t she supposed to lie flat and coast through life? How had she somehow become the envy of the entire harem?
Looking at the mountain of gifts piled around her and the growing affection in the Emperor’s eyes, Gao Xiyue held her teacup and yawned.
Fine. If Heaven insists on making her a winner, she’ll just have to graciously lie flat and accept this “sweet burden.”
