Workplace elite Shen Qingci transmigrated into the cannon-fodder legitimate daughter of a household-intrigue novel, a character who wouldn't survive three chapters.
Faced with a nightmare from the start, she remained perfectly calm. Household infighting? Just a beginner's quest. Her ultimate KPI was to claim the highest position in the imperial palace: Empress.
Her stepmother poisoned and framed her? She set up standardized procedures, leaving nowhere for schemes to hide. She won people over and built her own power, turning a decaying household into an efficient team.
After entering the palace through the selection, the consorts vied to outshine one another. While others staged "chance encounters" with the Emperor in the imperial garden, she discussed shipping KPIs and plans for the people's livelihood with him in the imperial study. Using modern management principles, she solved one political problem after another for the Emperor, becoming his indispensable "chief strategist."
The Emperor was deeply drawn to her, yet couldn't see through her. "Qingci, what is it you really want?"
Her gaze was clear, and her answer frank. "Your Majesty, the position of Empress. Not so I can have you all to myself, but so I can stand beside you and govern this vast realm until peace and prosperity reign."
See how a clear-eyed "office worker" turns a palace full of deadly traps into the ultimate workplace where she can pursue her ambitions, and ultimately finds success in both her career and love.
