I Became the White Moonlight by Playing Along

Modern-day super simp Lin Xiaotian dies of embarrassment after a disastrous confession, only to wake up transmigrated into the infamous, cold-palace-disgraced empress Xiao Wanrong from an old-school palace-intrigue novel! Worse, she’s forced to bind herself to the Simp System. Her objective: make the emperor, who hates her to the core, offer her 100% of his heart. Her starting score is -100, and failure means instant death!

Survival comes first; dignity can wait. Xiao Wanrong launches a string of outrageous tactics: she spouts obsequious lines by day, broadcasts heartfelt confessions in the middle of the night, arranges wildflowers to spell out wishes for his health, and even anonymously helps the dog of an emperor win over his dream girl!

From growing vegetables in the cold palace and saving a prince’s life to starting a palace newsletter and settling disputes between consorts, she uses her modern, goofy approach to make her simping career thrive. Before she knows it, she’s become the emperor’s one and only, the moonlight in his heart and the cinnabar mark on his skin.

When Xuanyuan Che falls completely for her and starts simping in return, and her affection score nears its limit, Xiao Wanrong pulls out The Ultimate Simp’s Rulebook: “Your Majesty, true love means restraint, it means protection, it means… could you please stop getting in the way of my career?”

See how the disgraced empress of the cold palace uses the art of simping to turn the tables, transforming hell mode into a feel-good ending, until even the Son of Heaven cradles her feet and asks, “Your Majesty, does your humble servant still have a chance to be your dog?”
