The Idle Noble Consort Is Sneaking Another Smile Today

[Reborn + Lighthearted Comedy + Palace Intrigue and Infighting + Food]

In her previous life, modern-day office worker Su Xiaoxiao was reborn in ancient times as the daughter of a minor official. She lived in constant fear, walking on eggshells, and endured one indignity after another until she reached the semifinals of the palace-intrigue game.

In the end, she became nothing more than a stepping stone for someone else to claim the empress's throne, and died without ever learning why.

When she opens her eyes, she's back at the moment she was betrothed to that cold prince, the future emperor?

Su Xiaoxiao slaps the ground and laughs. “Hahaha! I failed to beat this stupid game, and now I've reloaded my save!”

This time!

What caution? What careful plotting? To hell with all of it! I'm done pretending!

New goal: from [working herself to the bone to become empress] to [cling to the future emperor's golden thigh, reserve a spot as his consort in advance, and lie flat while she watches the drama unfold]!

Soon, the capital's gossipmongers notice that the new princess consort, crown prince's secondary consort, and imperial consort has a style all her own.

While everyone else fights for attention, she stuffs her face, always sneaking bites at palace banquets.

While others recite poetry, she dozes off, somehow managing to lean right against the prince.

When someone tries to frame her, she blinks her innocent big eyes and turns the accusation back on them in a few words, then slips away to chuckle to herself.

A concubine in the prince's household: “Your Highness, she said you have no learning!”

Su Xiaoxiao, gnawing on a chicken foot: “Huh? She's right!”

A concubine in the imperial harem: “Your Highness, how can your palace have such an item that exceeds the regulations?”

Su Xiaoxiao, looking perfectly innocent: “Oh? How do you know His Majesty gave it to me in private, Consort Li? Did he give you one too?”
