Jiang Xiaoyu transmigrates into the role of a princess sent to marry into a foreign kingdom. On her wedding night, she hands the icy war god Prince Zhao Shuo a petition for divorce. But the prince assumes it’s a new scheme to win his favor and throws her straight into the whirlpool of harem infighting.
When people give her a hard time, she brings a cushion and sunflower seeds and leaves the Empress Dowager completely stumped. When a scheming green-tea girl frames her, she jumps into the water and gives her a sincere lesson in how to fall in. Just as she finally “acts up” enough to get a letter of repudiation and prepare to embrace her freedom, an urgent report arrives from the border: repudiating her could spark a war, so the letter is void!
With her dream of divorce shattered, Jiang Xiaoyu is forced to take up “slacker governance.” To avoid morning court, she introduces flexible working hours, accidentally boosting efficiency across the country. The lazy-person sofa she designs to avoid work becomes a nationwide sensation and fills the treasury. The mahjong and barbecue she invents without a second thought become powerful tools for cultural outreach… Her “let it all go” catchphrases are hailed as philosophy, and at a competition between the two kingdoms, she wins over the enemy nation with a self-serve barbecue and a speech about lying flat.
As capable people gather around her and even the emperor looks upon her with favor, Prince Zhao Shuo finally can’t sit still. He goes from fuming with rage to watching her with curiosity, then falls for her completely and tears up the repudiation letter in public as he confesses his love.
The road to divorce is long and full of obstacles. Watch as this slack-off princess accidentally fools an entire dynasty into chaos, then finally finds a new balance in married life with the prince: “I’ll handle the troublemaking, and you handle the cleanup.”
Very beautiful, recommended
